between 20th and 21st December

is that the 20 and a half of December then?

I saw the posters, a basket of sticky rice and som tam - I'm sure there are better Issan products that have greater appeal appeal in the Pattaya area - I just can't lay my hands on one right now.

There was some eye candy too...

I attended and it seemed noticeably less festive than in previous years. As usual, there wasn't much food on offer that didn't look downright scary.
