Unfortunately clashes with local elections, and having received 300bt from each of the 2 candidates to vote for them, my family will remain in the village and use their vote one way or the other.
Maybe this event reminds you of Bognor Regis..........Didnt they have a Butlins there too

Toffo

The whole thing kicks off early in Satuk with an Elephant parade through town at about 8am Saturday morning. The boat races then go on all weekend with the climax on Sunday late afternoon.

There are pop concerts each evening and various OTOP stalls etc etc to give you some idea the town doubles in size over the weekend to 20,000 so the place is really alive!

Saturday morning also has the elephants swimming across the river with farangs (I have put your name down) so don't forget your waterwings!

Usual grub stalls, temporary beer  gardens ete etc! 

Enjoy! wildman thumbup

Made it there, did not see IT.  Water was a lot lower than last year.   And it was hot.

Maybe they did in your time Nookie, but when I went there I don't think Butlins had even started up! Bognor Butlins opened in 1960

I was in Nong Khai 10 days ago, and they had their annual boat racing festival, which I watched for a while.

As I said at the outset I was only a kid when I went to Bognor. probably 7/8. The mankini would look more appropriate on Nookie!
