Marvelous Fair

Tried to translate the title of the fair, came up with marvelous, wonderful... products. Mostly OTOP products, and mostly the same stuff you see year after year. I have one of those OTOP blue dye shirts.  After one washing all my underwear is also  blue. The biggest seller at this fair is the food.  Just about every food stall was busy. Some of the stalls were still setting up, even though the fair started yesterday. With almost a week of nonstop rain, the fair grounds were swamped. Sort of a hopscotch fair. I had to pay more attention to where I was walking, rather looking at the products they were selling. Some of the exhibits and public events are under 'the big top' (tent) For a moment I thought I was at a game show, should I choose door number one or door number two? Inside the big top it almost felt like stepping into a refrigerator. Over a dozen industrial sized air conditioners.  With recent chilly temperatures, this was definitely overkill There's  plenty of things to see, do and experience Local fairs are actually improving in size and quality, for me it was a bit of a ho hum. I was missing Thai arts and crafts, which I enjoy enormously.  Epilogue Thais can sleep through anything, dogs barking, cat fights, loud music.  Nothings disturbs their sleep. They learn early. Unfortunately the picture is a bit blurry. The speakers were blaring, yet just below the speakers, two children under a blanket where oblivious to the noise
