  | I really enjoyed the festival. After having played in parade bands, I thought that the parade in Chiang Mai was the most fantastic parade I have ever seen. The women sitting on the floats were so beautiful they didn't seem real. The festival here in CM lasted three days. The good: parade and local orchestras onstage, the bad, a large amount of garbage left on the streets, and drunks, kids, or stupid people setting off fireworks from 3am to 6am every day of the festival. They ended that kind of nonsense years ago in SF after a couple of houses burned down because of bottle rockets, and some kids that fired off a military howitzer on the beach rocking a whole neighborhood. Thousands of calls to emergency services when the cannon went off because people thought it was an earthquake. |
