On the SakonNakhon Waterfront

• The Royal Longboat Races are to be held in less than two weeks, but there is still little noticeable preparation.

• The racetrack has been cleared of seaweed and that machinery is sitting idle

• Looks like there is a new boat on the lake. I'm wondering if that's for dignitaries only, rather than tourists.
• Time will tell

• A few of the boats have been parked at the waterfront, and one boarding platform has been built to date

• The lake water level is at it's highest in the eight years I have lived here, and rising

 

• Bleachers are at the beach, but have not been placed yet "On The Waterfront"

 

• Did I say the lake had been cleared of all seaweed? Guess not

 

• Leaving the lake park I passed some ponies along the streets. Guess They're in town for the parade? 
• The one standing in the middle of the street did not move for the ten minutes I was there. Road Guard !!
