Our last ride...
After you've made your final revolution on the Ferris Wheel of Life, and after the funeral ceremonies have all been completed, it's off to the crematorium. This is the cart used to carry the coffin.
P.S. Not trying to stir up any bad luck for anybody here. สาธุ!!!

Village canal looking good after ลอยกระทง / Loy Krathong.
You can see กระทง / krathong remnants in both photos. Not a perfect situation environmentally, but a lot better than before when they used to use styrofoam. This year's ลอยกระทง / Loy Krathong was strong. You could feel it happening everywhere you went for days in advance, and the Loy Krathong moon still looked great for days afterwards.

Movie night at the village temple.
I thought this was a thing of the past, but nope. It's still going on and well-attended at that. I'm not sure about the equipment used, but both video and audio were good.

It's beginning to feel a little bit like Christmas.
Christmas trees are going up, and with the official policy being "Let Christmas Linger," they're going to be up for a while. I'm into it. Thank you, shopping malls (de facto community centers) all over Thailand. You're going to play those Christmas songs again, aren't you? (You even made me, this late in life, like Brenda Lee's Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree!!!)
And the troupes of young Santa Claus singers and dancers? I must admit that I vastly prefer them to Old Fat Ass Santa Claus in the shopping malls back home, whom I resemble entirely too much.

Upper Wolhwa Walking Street is nice. Tourists love it, and I've got a favorite old school restaurant there.
