Fair Night




An hour before the nightly concert begins foot-traffic peaks. 
Concert goers are making their way through the leisurely fair goer crowd.
One hand on my wallet, the other on my camera.
Plenty of uniformed security was reassuring.
At the concert entrance, opened juice and soft-drink bottles were sniffed to insure a ALCOHOL FREE FAIR
You could say this night was teenage concert night



Mobile catering at the main entrance to the fair, seemed to be quite lucrative


I still  GOT IT

One of my favorite spot to visit is the air rifle range
I was somewhat of a marksman during my military career (1963-1975).
Makes me feel good that I still got it.


The rifle had been used all day and was overdue for a cleaning.
It jammed after every shot and had to be cleared and reloaded.

I was told I'm doing it all wrong.
Five bullets, five targets.
I explained I wanted to see how closely I could bunch them together.  I received an approval nod.











Before arriving at the fair I attended a
family birthday dinner at one of the newer 69 Baht all you can eat restaurants.



Something new for me on the menu.  Glass noodles made from seaweed.
Crunchy noodles.  I got to get some of those.

Five bullets but only four holes in the centre target? Marksman Huh?

I did mention the rifle jammed after each shot. I suspect a miscount rather than a miss. I actually did shoot a few times. The other target cards all have five hits.

So, he shot through the same hole twice, sounds good to me.
