October 29th, 2012 admin The paraders who got to march or dance or parade during daylight were the lucky ones at the Wax Candle Procession in Sakon Nakhon. More lucky were the ones who were able to perform their routines without having to stop and with music. It is sad that after all these years the municipality cannot present something that allows the people to simple parade through the streets of the city, to let

October 29th, 2012 admin After walking around Ming Muang Park looking at the wax castles and various and sundry other attractions we stopped at the Plaen Pin Restaurant adjacent to the park.

October 28th, 2012 admin Living a few 100 meters from the action is a big plus as traffic and people move in herds whenever there is an event of any size here is Northeast Thailand, Isaan. There were basically 3 venues one at the waterfront which has finished now, one at Ming Muang Municipal Park and on Monday where the Wax Castle procession will end and Auk Pansaa will be observed. If I get ISP issues sorted I will

October 26th, 2012 admin Okay they do some things a bit different here than other places, but most things the same. The government hacks blather on for the better part of an hour and no one listens to them, then the show begins.
