240327 Free stuff at the temple then lunch with friends

How this works: 
The temple gets a bunch of volunteer donors together. 
Donors get assigned spaces to give away free food, drink and snacks to all visitors.
Hot soups, noodles (cooked or fried), bags of candy and chips, or cookies. A large variety of juices and pops.
There were a few pay as you go games available.  I will need some dart throwing practice.    Especially memorable to me was many people welcomed me

Saturday morning parade on I.T.U.

I'm guessing not a school parade, rather a provicial parade of sorts as there were plenty adult participants. Could hear activities at the stadium for most of the morning

Follow the MONEY

Chinese tourism, in fact all tourism, is a bit lower than expected this year. 
Domestic tourism doesn't bring new money

Festival of Lights at the park

Traffice and especially parking is volumous to say it politely.  
If you attend Monday Loy Krathong celebrations at the park, expect  the same.

Wonder what the nationwide government electric bill would look like

Wot + Khaen flutes

Origin traced to Laos. Now popular Isan musical instruments. 
Read somewhere that they were outlawed in Thailand in distant history around the time when Isan became part of Thailand
