So if you didn’t know already, there is still time to go and check out the festivities at Wat Chedi Luang, that have apparently been going on all week.
In Prapoklao Rd outside the front entrance to Wat Chedi Luang, you will find many different Thai Food stalls.
Yesterday there was a parade down Ratchadamnoen, and very possibly one every day. I’d love to tell you more about whats going on inside the temple grounds but I simply didnt have time in the end. And besides, I plan to visit the festival properly on Saturday and didn’t want to spoil the surprise for myself.
What I can say is that these events are always very colourful and well worth a visit, for a taste of local culture. And I would like to point out that this is indeed very much part of the local Chiang Mai culture, and not just some show put on for tourists.
Pop along and enjoy.
