Nice ones, Ham, thank you for sharing...

I am always happy to know that, something interesting, is happening on the island...

Even if I am not (hopefully!) living there for ages :)

The ChakPhra festival occurs every year around this time and is, from my understanding, exclusively Southern and means, "pulling or carrying the Buddha" and it it begins the day after Awk Phansa. It is marked by bringing the Buddhist images out of the temples and carrying them in processions through town. I believe Koh Phangan also marks it by carrying them on boats as well.
