Khon Kaen, what’s all this about?

Happening today. Every soi packed to the rafters. There must be 10 million of them. What’s it all about, please?

Lucky that I am not in town today.

Must be a traffic chaos of unprecedented dimension

 

Originally the daughter was planning to join the masses of dancers.

Unfortunately I can't ask her now what it is about (that's for tomorrow).

 

Maybe it's related to this tourism/MICE promotion event?

This is/was making merit for the spirits of the city gate - a yearly celebration.  There were supposed to be 6,000 dancers.

Today (29 November) will also be congested due to the parade to open the Silk Festival.

Yes it's that simple.

The annual silk festival starts today.
