Ubon Candle Festival & related photos .

Ok so I cheated and it wasn't a bike ride. Darn I labeled and put description on every one. Didn't show up here.

So I will take a shot at it from here. The little girls are our housekeepers children and he first time they have been out of Udon. First time they have stayed in a hotel. First fro any big event like this. It was as much fun watching Ms. Fang and Paeng venture into the big world as the festival itself

In one photo you can see the frame work they use to create the wax float. You will see two photos of the guy placing the pieces one by on the float. The a box of the tiny pieces he is using. This one was using a pickup a a pull vehicle, other's used farm tractors.

I have to tell you have anything bigger then a 125 park it get a Tuk Tuk It would take you an hour to go block on anything bigger.

We got the worse Tuk Tuk I have ever ridden in engine wise. But, it had every gadget he could imagine on it. Bells, whistled , siren extra red lights you name it. I wouldn't have missed for the world. The guy was real cut up and made the ride fun

If you have never been to it I would add o the list of great things to do in Thailand.

If you guys want to see more of it let me know

Great pictures Ray, Thanks for sharing.

Well I hope this works. I think I've finally got Picasa figured out (it's not intuitive). So if you click on the link below you should see my album of pics from the Ubon Candle festival. This year I concentrated more on people so I've included some floats from last year's festival. I labeled them 2009 for historical accuracy.
