anothertorres Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Last year was Sek Loso out on the lake. Does anyone have any info about a possible fest at the lake again this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadoo Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I doubt very much, the land that they hold it on opposite the Temple is completely flooded due to the dam being at max capacity. In some places the water is lapping onto the road it is so high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some places the water is lapping onto the road it is so high. the land opposite the temple is not flooded the lake is not at maximum its true that its fuller than its been for a long time but not as full as i ever seen it i drive around it every day and have yet to see '''water is lapping onto the road''' if its ''lapping'' anywhere its not lake water, its pooled rainwater.......

TongueThaied Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 This year, they'll be celebrating it all over Bangkok. You can just float one of those little boats right out your front door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueeyes1999uk Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 It is 10th November and whilst the Lake is full (the sluice gates are rusted shut and cannot be raised) the roads are currently not flooded. There is some concern that if they can't let some water out to relieve the pressure the weight of water might burst the dam should we get any more serious rain. With regards to events I have not seen anything advertised yet but I would expect the usual bars to be open but bear in mind that the Lake area is full of displaced people from BKK the mood maybe a little more muted this year.

Blueeyes1999uk Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Just been to The Fisherman's apparently live Thai music (maybe courtesy of the Temple!) ladies dressed in traditional Thai costume. Have built a pier over the Lake to float Kratongs (directly opposite). For those looking for Thai dress on the Darkside went to get my daughter's today (needs for school) wide range both adults and kids (had outfits to fit my 2 year old). Go over the motorway at Pong small hairdressers on left hand side just before mini mart. Lovely lady got daughter's outfit, belt, jewellery etc 300 Baht - bargain!

Thanks for the heads up and the good directions (a rarity on this forum). We bought 2 very nice Thai costumes for my daughter at this shop this morning. The B300 price is to rent. B550 to buy.

William Osborne Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 to the poster who actually witnessed the dam bursting to full capacity i actually drove to Marpachan to witness the dam over-flowing and the flooding roads ok... so the lake is full..ish, (the overflow is leaving a small stream)...but well within its capacity ..
