Music fans in Hong Kong are in for a pleasant surprise! Canadian crooner Michael Bublé is scheduled to delight the masses with his hit singles at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on the 11^th of March 2011. The concert is part of the singer’s international tour promoting his latest album “Crazy Love”. The tour is backed by his record labels Dainty Consolidated Entertainment and Lushington Entertainment. The performance also marks his very first debut concert in Hong Kong.

The young Grammy Award winner captured nostalgic hearts all over the world when he debuted in 2003, reviving quite a few golden oldies as contemporary hits. His 2007 album “It’s Time” featured faithful remakes of such timeless classics as “Save the Last Dance for Me”, “Come Fly with Me” and “Sway”. His next album “Call me irresponsible” became even more of a runaway international success than his debut album, topping charts around the world with his hit single “Everything”. The track introduced a more adult-contemporary flavour to Buble’s otherwise “big band style” musical repertoire.

He continued to build upon his chart-topping successes with the launch of his fourth album last year. “Crazy Love” skyrocketed to the Number 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart shortly after its release. The album features Buble’s work as a song-writer; his singles “Hold On” and “Haven’t Met You Yet” were co-written with Amy Foster and Alan Chang.

Bublé has been praised by music critics for infusing nostalgic ballads with a fresh, yet authentic feeling. His latest material also proves that the young musician is not content to use this as a fallback style, but to continue to innovate both as a stylist and a songwriter. According to Bublé, his “Crazy Love” tour is one where he plans to open the musical floodgates of his emotions to his audience, establishing a connection with them.

A 2-disc deluxe “Hollywood Edition” of the Crazy Love album will be released after the culmination of Buble’s international tour. This edition will feature four new studio recordings as well as four songs performed live and recorded during his Crazy Love tour.

Phuket, located in Southern Thailand facing the Andaman coastline is Thailand’s largest island. It is Thailand’s wealthiest province and one of its premier tourist destinations. This island is a melting pot of Buddhists, Muslims, Thai-Chinese and even sea gypsies. But since Thai culture is vastly influenced by Buddhism, over 90 percent of Thailand’s population follows Theravada Buddhism; Phuket has an abundance of unique Buddhist temples.

Every year the Thai Thepkasattri-Thao Sri Suntorn Festival is celebrated as a major two week long festival in Phuket covering history, culture and sporting events. The festival’s purpose is to pay tribute to the two heroic sisters Thao Sri Suntorn and Thao Thep Kasattri’s memory, as they are the ones who guided the community of Phuket to defend the island from Burmese troops. Therefore the celebration is usually taken place near the ‘Two heroines’ monument’.

This year the festival is arranged to take place from March 13 to 14. Some special sporting events will be there which will include bicycle racing and Thai boxing. But the most prominent events of Thao Thepkasattri-Thao Sri Suntorn Festival are the cultural events.

Created to please the ones who truly have an interest in Thai culture, these events provide the opportunity to observe an “Upasampada” which means “nearing or approaching the austere tradition”. It is basically the course of a novice obtaining the means of ordination to embark on a Buddhist simple life. Additionally, there will be a shadow puppet show, a sword dancing show and singing of traditional Thai lullabies. Apart from the array of events, the festival also features an assortment of Thai cuisine for the enjoyment of the visitors.

An extravagant show about Phuket’s history is said to be the highlight of this festival. The tale of Thao Thep Kasattri and Thao Sri Suntorn is narrated through this show depicting their bravery and leadership. Although this cultural event mainly caters to a Thai audience, the tourist will equally be delighted to witness it as it provides an immense knowledge about Thai history and culture.

The travellers to this part of Thailand can enjoy this festival at ease as they can let a Phuket resort take care of their accommodation and hospitality requirements. The choice of Millennium Resort Patong Phuket would be the smartest as it is one amazing 5-star Patong beach resort located surrounded by lush tropical landscapes.
