Sakon Nakhon Wax Castle Fair 2012



I had a super time visiting this year's fair. 
Probably one of the more memorable evening's out. 









Meeting so many friends in one evening was really orgasmic (intense excitement).





Of course I visited 
the Wax Castles on display















  Eyed my countless dining options

  Explored all four corners of the fair grounds


  Saw an interesting t-shirt. 
  The wearer obviously was very religious


Most of the remainder of the evening we found greats seats at the fairgrounds entrance. 
Watching people go by. It's my favorite past-time activity. 
Had a few beers and listened to some really great music. 




The music got even better when the fiddler began to play. 
Unfortunately my camera memory stick had reached it's peak


Many stopped to enjoy the music

Alcoholic beverages were outlawed at the fairgrounds.  But this was a special occasion, a good enough reason to bend the rules  

Waiters were delivering countless pitchers  from a neighborhood  grocer a to the food court.
There's one "Happy Grocer!!"

Ist das nicht ein Oktoberfest?  Ya, das ist ein Oktoberfest !!

Observation:  Most farang I have seen in this town in the past 10 years at one time. I lost count after seeing 20 foreigners, they just kept on coming.  Native Americans call them palefaces.
The fairgrounds entrance would have been the best place to pass out business cards and...
