Boat Races at Phok Noi

Of course as soon as I was spotted, the arrival of a Farang was announced over the public address system. Sat down on some steps to get some good photos. This brewery smelling person sat next to me with the typical Thai phrase: "Where you come from?" Remember when you visit such outdoor events to bring along a hat or umbrella to shade from the sun. On the way home a police checkpoint was just starting their 'heat break.' Bring some friends in case you want to get totally inebriated, they can drag you out of the afternoon sun and find a shady place for you to sleep it off. Somewhat reminded me of the OKTOBER FEST
