Shindig Traffic Jam

The municipal ground (Ming Muang Field) served as a parking lot
for buses, vans, and songthaews yesterday

Streets were at capacity with traffic.  
Pedestrian traffic seemed to outpace motor vehicles

Wat Phra That Choeng Chum

There was some sort of shindig at the main temple

Wat Phra That Choeng Chum.

Best explanation I received was "monk promotions, when they get their shields."

Had to wade through the traffic twice.
