Went there , was very Interesting.  But fell short of the 5,000. Was told only 2,100 showed up.  But very impressive at that many.

If this is observed Internationall surely it should be a national holiday in Thailand preferably to always fall on a weekend so that Monday can be a compensation day creating a three-day weekend.😋
