On Saturday we went to see the Chiang Mai Flower Festival Parade. We actually only saw part of the parade as it was already going past when we arrived and still going past when we went off to eat breakfast. Lots of flowers, of course, plus marching bands. Later in the day we went down to where the floats, flowers and prize plants were on display.
The other big event of the weekend was the ASEAN Cup final between Thailand and Singapore. On Sunday night the streets were, if not exactly deserted then certainly less busy than usual. Everywhere you went there were people clustered round TVs. We popped into a pharmacy to find the lady behind the counter busy watching the game. When we got back to the hotel the night watchmen, usually in the parking lot, was in the lobby with everyone else watching the game. In the end Thailand lost, sadly for everyone round here.
