Thank you Mod.

Fantastic workmanship on the floats and candles. It's great to see what's happening in Isaan when I cant be there. Keep up the good work.  sawadi

Sorry Alan if i came across a bit negative with my post,but i don't see what all the fuss is about,after all it's just candles,with more people losing money and taking time off work,then the same people complain they have no money.
That's one of the main issues here in Thailand i think,far to many holidays and not enough work.

Hahaha. You better get used to these festivals etc. Yes its difficult for us to understand but its all part of the culture. What I never understand is why the music is always ear splitting loud.

Yes it takes one a while to adapt to a different culture,i think it's going to be a long haul before i start going to the temple,and giving food away thou.

I was going to say that some of them are not holidays.

Thanks for clearing up the confusion re:  24th September,30th October, and 27-29th November . These dates are not national holidays. The 3rd August was a holiday.
