As fast as a jet

I seen these floating lights slowly rise,
then at a certain height, the wind pushed em as fast as a jet.

The sign at a busy intersection allows motorcycles and bicycles to pull ahead of waiting cars at traffic lights. Motorcycles have a faster start than cars, but imagine bicycles in front of dozens of cars as the light changes to green.

Flabbergasted two to three months advance notice of activities

Upcoming events are being announced two to three months in advance. Unheard of in past years when many events received a few days notice, occasionally a week.

Colorful Weekend

Designated on the map with a P, indicating a parking lot, the area is located by the Rear gate to Wat Phra That Choeng, and across the street to the waterfront park. Over a decade ago the area was an outdoor restaurant. I remember it because the restaurant staff brought out a fan for the table with the foreigner, me.

The latest 'Colorful' configuration was put together in mid October in time for the longboat races.
