harada Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 How can you have a festival with no entertainment ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 He's also back tracked on cancelling the night bazaar and sunday market. Perhaps if he didn't put his foot in his mouth in the first place, he wouldn't have to take it out. People have to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the ban on entertainment, perhaps it's best if you stay indoors during the festival, and just carry on with your on-going freak-show here. ~o:37; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is called the jerking knee syndrome. It is an involuntary mental spasm created by lack of courage of what criticism his bosses might have if he did something sensible/stupid. Best to cover all bases and cancel everything until otherwise informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MESmith Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Sounds like it might be the best Loy Kratong festival in years Cut out all the crazy antics by the river, the assault by fireworks & loudspeakers, & the parades. Everyone launching kratongs & fire lanterns, dinner by the river. Sounds great, sign me up... Will Songkran be affected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Bull Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Loy Krathong is a religious festival , I don't think the governor is high enough on the totem pole to cancel it most probably got his knuckles rapped from some high up monk.
