Sakon Nakhon Wax Candle Parade

Went to the parade staging area to grab a few pictures.
The best part was there were numerous people there with whom I had become friends.  Even collected a few facebook addresses to stay in contact.
A few participants really got into the spirit of the day.  You could smell the spirits.
