Imphal, November 22 2011: "The Manipur Sangai Festival, 2011 is being organized on such a large scale that this is the biggest festival I have ever participated", Miss Meaw, who has come from Thailand to participate in the ongoing festival, has observed.

She has a stall in the festival selling Thai food items as well as decorative items.

Interacting with Hueiyen Lanpao, Miss Meaw informed that it is her first visit to Manipur.

But she already knew many things about Manipur and its people from what her elders have told since childhood.

"We have the same look and feature.

The only difference is the languages we speak", she observed, adding that she has made no difference in the price of the goods being sold in her stall and the price she charged in Thailand.

"To help us in selling the goods, we have hired two local youths and they are given Rs 200 to Rs 300 per day", she disclosed, adding that all visitors coming to her stall are very nice and they also bought many expensive items.

On her impression of Manipur, Miss Meaw said Manipur is a beautiful place and the foods available here are delicious.

"I would like to visit many more places in Manipur.

But the only fear is whether I would have the time", Miss Meaw added.

Apart from participants from Thailand, a 10-member delegation from Myanmar also reportedly arrived at Imphal today to participate in the festival which would continue till November 30 .

Most of the Myanmarese delegates are said to be business men and women coming to study market scope.
