Fireworks are crackling around town, the figures which crowded the Three Kings square, including these, a horse and a horse with a Naga head, are scattered around town at the various city gates. The preparations are a buzz audible and visible. I'm told it is for Loi Krathong. Whenand what is the exact festival? I haven't looked it up yet, but it's certain to be around the full moon and that will be around the 9th or 10th of November.
