Kings Coronation Celebrations

[The Dan Sai Kid]

Does anyone know what is planned for The King's coronation celebrations in Chiang Mai?

Are there event planned over the weekend - or is it only on Friday? Will there be any roads closed? Are there any areas that should be avoided if you are in a car?

At my school Friday is the big day for celebrating it is Friday, I would like to buy a yellow shirt to wear that day - but need a bigger size - any ideas where I can get one?

Thanks for any advice!

Yeah, I'd agree with that link. The traders are defo gouging. Stopped off on the Mae Jo road and the missus enquired how mich for a regular T-shirt - 250B! Nice little 300% mark-up there... you think they'd be a little more foregiving bearing in mind the occasion
