Sakon Nakhon Wax Castle Parade 2012

Pictures by Joey

I've seen these parades for ten years. Early afternoon, mid afternoon and early evening start times. Evening parades with spotlights have been my favorite. Watched the parade on TV and came to the conclusion that many of the big spenders were absent. Home improvement companies, major retailers and the like, the ones who can spend bucks on floats and costumes, seemed to be absent.  Also absent this year seemed to be components from nearby countries, who participated in past years.
