Is there any reason why nearly every restaurant between ban po and Nathong seem give closed

Also the Amper and the police station is rammed full of cars

Have I missed a special day or is there s protests going on

If referring to yesterday, several places were closed ... some kind of Buddha holiday/ celebration ? ..... many people were at the Temples...

End of Buddhist Lent.

Well it has to do with Lent, this is what I'm told. Big celebrations mostly in Southern region.

Ah!!! Betting at the end of this..... it will be the festival of floats in Nathon Pier area , a very colourful event and well worth attending.....

I will try to get a date before it happens! I usually get asked if I want to go a few hours before!

All the Temples around the island try to out do themselves with the best float!

We'll probably start seeing them floating around soon...

This was Oct 16 th last year....

It's the southern version of Halloween or similar
