Just found out on facebook that Tha Rae is celebrating it's 130th anniversary today.
Unfortunately it's too late to make plans. This should have been noted by Thai Tourism offices some time ago.
It's very typical for Thailand.
Even for last night's party I had six hours notice, lucky I had no plans.
I stayed for two hours, then I had enough. But I understand the loud music continued hours past midnight.
There is not much you can do about such events. Permits for loud music, good till 2 am, are cheap.
Last time I had such a permit it cost me 50 baht. My music ended at 10 pm
Football today at 4

I received an invitation to attend a 100 day memorial celebration.
It's a gathering held 100 days after the funeral of a family member.
I brought my own bottle of booze, as I remembered, they ran out at the funeral. This time they had plenty. I even received a take-out bottle.
Karaoke music could be heard quite a distance. One nearby expat fled his home and went to Pascal's.
Karaoke was interrupted by an hour long monk's recital.
But hey, I was amongst dozens of friends and neighbors, with free food and booze.

The street curves here, I have the right of way . . .
- On the right, the Pick-up is coming from the hospital parking lot.
Appears not to want to stop.
- On my left, a village baht bus wants to enter the parking lot.
He stopped and waited patiently
