Ground Breaking by KUBOTA

Looks like they are making final preparations to open for business.
Their demonstrations and groundbreaking last October was definitely a traffic stopper.

It looked a bit like a fair. Plenty of families, all obviously farmers, watching farm tractors in action.

Discovering that free beer was served to all visitors (and soft-drinks for the kids), I decided it was worth checking out the activities.

Pilgrimage to That Phanom

Was visiting with friends in Khok Si Suphan, a town 22 km from Sakon Nakhon when I saw this procession. Barefooted monks on an apparent pilgrimage.

They were on their way to That Phanom to pay homage at a revered temple there.

I observed an almost unending column of monks for over half an hour before they disappeared in the distance, they had over 80 km to go.
