rene123 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Roads were blocked off, but nothing seemed to be happening. Lots of people milling around the Narawat bridge and what looked like a big monks party. Not as many lanterns as I expected, but the untimely rain might have had something to do with that. Then, about midnight they had the corner of Chang Klan road and the night market blocked so everyone was forced back into the very congested area near the Narawat bridge. I saw songthews going the wrong way down one way roads. Thankfully I was able to wiggle my scooter through and around all the stopped trucks and cars, and past the throngs of tourists to take the LOOOONG way around and back to my hotel. It should be even more crazy tomorrow night and I think I'll park my scooter just outside the town center and walk into the festivities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizard2010 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Yes it was Interesting last night. I thought it was a bit disappointing at the Iron Bridge. Hopefully it will be better tonight Yes those ladyboys do look so attractive. Not my cup of tea 555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmsally Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Last night was blocked off at Wat Ubukut (Changklan / Tapae intersection). It was offering alms to the monks at midnight. That was the big "monks party" ! - Peng Put I believe its to do with Wednesday being a full moon and a monk called Phra Ubukut - hence being held at Wat Ubukut.

scd Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I thought it was pretty decent last night. The rain did put a dampener on things but it is what you make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnieTheKhwai Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) I have a plan. Staying home and watching family guy re-runs? First of all they're not re-runs, there are currently new episodes being aired every week, and secondly my plan for the night involves parking in a strategic location, take pictures of girls in Lanna attire, and drink, while trying to not get blown to pieces.

rene123 Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 It was a little better organized tonight and the authorities didn't block both ends of roads forcing people to ride around in circles trying to find a way out. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. I hope there were too many injuries due to the irresponsible handling of fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
