In 2007 I had the opportunity to view the Wax Castle Parade from the Main Grandstands

The first video in this playlist is grandstand entertainment before the opening ceremony and the parade S-BAC students participated in the parade that year

On the first day of ... The Sakon Nakhon Wax Castle Festival - early evening

On the first day of the Wax Castle Festival, the best place to hang out is at the Municipal Grounds, especially in the early evening. It's best to park at a distance and walk in. Traffic is rerouted near the grounds, as "the Castles" are all moved to the display area.    The municipal grounds, across the street from Immigration and Police headquarters is divided in a food court, concert area, castle assembly area, and 'souvenir stalls' It's a non-alcohol event.  My favorite starting point for the evening is across the street of the fair entrance.

I said hold still

All quiet on the Sakon Nakhon Waterfront

Water level seems higher than average for this time of the year, even though the rainy season hasn't been all that strong. All boats seem freshly painted, all the derelicts are gone The longboat racetrack has yet to be cleared of vegetation.  Clean up should begin soon

Social Interaction is high in Thai education, something I never experienced in my school years. We had assemblies in the auditorium

Sakon Nakhon

40% loss of interest by India - 96% increase from Denmark, this year compared to 2014

Of course I look at the blog statistics on a daily basis.  I look at the peaks to see what sparked interest.  It's still preseason, high season ahead.

Warmer for this time of year

Scattered showers, warmer than normal temperatures, next rainstorm likely as weekend approaches
