Sakon Nakhon King's Birthday Parade
2014

What time is the parade? After a few calls the word was 4 pm or so, starting at the Provincial headquarters. The answer was apparently false based on previous year's information.

Nevertheless I drove past the provincial complex and found no activity associated with the start of a parade.  On a hunch I drove to the city gate park.  Where I saw the crowd growing with a continuous arrivals of parade participants.





The parade got under way at 5:15.
