TroyinEwa/Perv Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 It is........Sunday is Loy Krathong. Maybe you got stuck in a time warp but only went 24 hours into the future. Even so, that may be enough. Send me the winning college football teams so I can bet and retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 You'll know it's Loy Krathong when you hear all the bangers and have to duck pop bottle rockets shot at you. One more pleasant holiday the Thais have effed up. Used to be a romantic night to go out with your GF, not a make believe firefight. p.s. Fireworks are banned in Bangkok, not that you'd realise it.

tartempion Posted November 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Loy Kratong definitely today here in the village, big tents, lots of music and dancing right now, cops stopping all traffic on the main road: alcohol detection. They don't bother me, I come from the cross road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 My Mrs took me out to see Loy Kathong in Chiang Mai one year. The Ping river was beautiful with thousands of krathongs floating on it as far as you could see, but we went home early because we tired of dodging bottle rockets. She told her colleagues at work the next and they asked what the police had done. She answered honestly: Nothing! The cops just looked the other way.
