Loy Krathang: Day 1

Sunday night we went downtown again to see Loy Krathang. We watched Khom Loys and Loy Krathangs being launched, fireworks shot up all over the place, vendors selling every thing imaginable (including some fireworks to us!), a kids beauty contest, and some Thai dancing. The kids even got to ride a small Ferris wheel. Though it was a bit dangerous at times--a khom loy nearly burned Ann and too many fireworks were too close--we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
