Tha Rae Star Light Parade 2015

They are making a list, And checking it twice; Gonna find out ...

Tha Rae Starlight pre-parade inspection? I'm guessing



My impression:  They seemed to be inspecting individual floats and going down a checklist.  Wonder if they were giving grades.   
Whenever I see 'sisters' my mind does a bit of time travel
I spend a number of my preteen years in a Kinderheim (children home)

Sakon Nakhon Super Amazing

The first video: production in itself is professional quality.  The parade and performances superbly choreographed. Most performers (participants) got into the spirit of things.


Battle of the bands. A couple really great

Heard the band in the distance, rushed, grabbed my cigarettes, wallet and camera. Rode my motorcycle and reached the beginning of the paradeI really felt all parade participants should have shade for their eyes

Some stars of the show required makeup, a helpfull protection from the sun

Some participants luckily were given sun protection

Parading while texting... or is it a video game
The princess lost her silver slippers. 
Stiletto high heeled shoes are not intended for highway trekking

The show must go on, even if it's barefoot on a hot cement

So I was wondering why they drained the lake ...

... at the Sakon Nakhon Sports Arena (football field near the airport)



Well that was smart (it's deeper and larger)

Sakon Nakhon I fu..ing love you

Pardon my vulgar language, I've had a bottle of rum even before I got to the party.  Getting there was a disaster in itself.  Stopped of at Apple's, cause Joey said its not far from there. Dan was busy with preparations for the party on sunday

They were mixin the christmas punch and would not let me leave till I gave my opinion

Lets just say I was not feeling any pain when I continued my journey.
'I'm at the gas station, where are you?" 
"The bus station"
So I made it to the bus station, followed the pickup.   
As I parked my bike they were singing  "Hotel California." For the next 20 minutes I was signing along to "cottonfields" and similar tunes from times gone bye.


Well Yea I was thrilled. Really felt like I done gone to heaven, and it's called Sakon Nakhon.



Album 151219 Sakon Nakhon I fucking love you
I had better get some rest, there's a party, not to be missed, every day till 2016
