Very cool. That will mark my one-year anniversary in Hua Hin.

Apologies that the last one is not in English.

I will post more as I see them. I have not seen any poster, but I see they are already putting up the fun fair at Khao Tao.

Hua Hin Today reports:

• Hua Don Beach, Khao Takiab (near the ferry pier)
• Queen Sirikit Park, Soi 19
• Nong Kae Community
• Khao Takiab Community
• Khao Tao Reservoir

The 5 locations were designated to avoid overcrowding and traffic congestions. There will also be food stalls and shops in these areas.

Looking at the adverts, Halloween certainly seems to be trumping Loy Krathong at the moment. To me, this is quite surprising given the lack of overseas visitors, and the beauty of Loy Krathong.

You're lucky to have any kind of events to attend, here in Europe absolutely everything has been cancelled since March and already until the end of the year.

I agree, here most things are pretty much as normal, other than wearing face masks - Europe and many other countries by comparison, are virtually the complete opposite, with many areas getting worse before they (hopefully) start to get better.

One year, due to circumstances, the wife and MIL floated their kratongs in a bucket of water in our back yard. That ranks as my bet Loy Kratong!!
