11 AMHeard loud music outdoors. I thought "that car stereo definitely is loud."
Not a car stereo. It was obvious they were doing a sound check just a few blocks from my house.
Noon
1:30 PM
Made my way to the Sakon Pattana Suksa School Grounds. Most traffic I had seen on I.T.U., EVER. There was no parking to be had on the entire length of this 3 k.m. long road.
Was a bit surprised that only one policeman was taking care of traffic flow at the entrance.
Very professional and courteous.
During the late afternoon and evening hours I.T.U. resembled a busy street in Bangkok.
Traffic was heavy, but unlike Bangkok, no traffic snarls.
Traffic and crowd control seemed to have been well planned and administered.
I was impressed.
Most noticeable was the security, bomb squad vehicle, paddy wagons.
Stadium bleachers were for security personnel only.
Carabao was performing on stage and could be seen on two giant screens.
Stayed through Carabao's performance and then went home.
A tree in my line of vision, made for some unusual pictures, reminding me of the story of the burning bush.
The best part of the celebration, as far as I was concerned, all loud music ceased after the fireworks. I had been worried that this celebration could last throughout the night, as they so frequently do.
