9th "colors of the east" festival ?

(in English they seem to have choosen "colors of your life").

Seems like promotion of local products/foods?

Some dancing/folklore/music.

Some snippets from this site:

I think it reads "FESTIVAL" and "9th NORTHEAST SEASON" with 'season' being spelt out in transliteration.

Details can not be discussed here, only in Thai language forum.

But, no: it's not a northeast (aka. Isan) festivial but get's it's motto from the four mentioned provinces on the eastern seaboard (Chon Buri, Rayong, Chanthaburi, Trat).

"Seeson" just means colourful, not transliteration of Season,
