Tha Rae Starlight Parade


The first starlight parade I saw was in 2006.  Never heard of such a parade the previous three years.  In 2006 it was mostly pickups and trucks with generators and lighted stars, not the elaborate floats of recent years.



During those early years I had only heard of the Starlight parades in Sakon Nakhon City.  It was a few years later when I heard and attended the festivities in Tha Rae.
Seems to me there was talk of the main event should belong to the catholic town  Tha Rae.

In 2007 I rode atop the lead (police) vehicle throwing candy at onlookers.  I had noticed the previous year no one was throwing candy, so I bought 10 large bags of candy.  I had previously written about that story:

Traffic last night was heavy. Saw a four car rear end collision on the way going there, and what appeared to be an accident scene on the way home.

Plenty of videos appearing on YouTube and Facebook. Look for สกลนคร
