Sakon Nakhon is getting ready for the holidays

At the Toon Army Bar,  business seems to be picking up.
Sunday luncheon is in the works for this weekend.
They're also rekindling the book and video exchange.
Plans are in the works for  a Christmas afternoon party with multiple courses of freshly prepared foods.
So you have plenty of time to see the star parade later in the evening.

Preparations are under way all over town

These signs are promoting the dragon festival. The big parade starts at 8 a.m. December 11. If you haven't seen it before, its a must see event. Ear plugs recommended.

There will be activities at the Chinese temple every night Dec 11 through 16.
 Wonder if I'll be lucky enough to get a dinner invitation this year for their closing day celebrations.

Sakon Nakhon's main attraction "Wat Phra That Choeng Chum" they are getting an early start for their December 25 celebrations.

A bit early to start blocking the road (T.i.T.)
