A long way to go

It's quite a lengthy video.  
Eight minutes of monks walking by.  
That's just a lot of monks. 
Video was posted in a Kham Ta Kla website




I had seen a similar procession (January 14, 2007), when monks passed through Sakon Nakhon on their way to Wat Phra That Phanom

Prices have been dropping. Used to take 100 baht to fill up my (motorcycle) tank.   
These days I'm actually getting nearly 20 baht change.  The change becomes the tip for the person who filled up my tank.

Red Cross Fair Starts Tomorrow, 16 Jan

It looked like things were a bit behind schedule.  Some booths were ready for business, while many were still sitting empty.  I suspect there will be work till late in the night.  No one seemed to be in any rush though.

Admittance to the fair during the day is free (until 5 pm).
