My Sakon Nakhon Christmas Tale

.
I think it was 2006 when I first watched the Sakon Christmas parade.
A convoy of trucks with lit stars.

The following year I decided to sneak into the parade and participate.
I bought almost a dozen bags of candy. I intended to throw the candy to the kids watching the parade.

We were in the parking lot near the parade gathering point.
When the policeman in the parade lead car turned on his emergency lights, signaling the start of the parade, we headed to our truck. We intended to merge into parade.

The policeman wouldn't stand for that.
He helped us carry the candy to his police vehicle.

That year I was throwing candy from the lead vehicle in the parade.
Some of my Thai friends watching the parade were astounded to see me up front of the parade.

I noted the following year that a number of parade participants were throwing candy into the crowd.

I added 74 pictures of the Christmas party at Ned's Bar in 2006 into a private online album. If you participated and wish to see the photo's, please contact me for the link.
