We attended the festival at Wat Po Hom - Angthong province - about 18 km north of Angthong - near Wat Chaiyo. Every year at about this time the temple holds a festival to mark the passing away of the first Abbot.
As usual the Temple was gloriously decorated and decked out - it was really quite something. The leading light at the temple is Mae Chee Dow and the decoration and smooth running of the event is a testamount to her organizational ability.
We were invited to take part in the "rong tarn" - as usual we took along our pancake stove and cooked pancakes. I think we produced about 500 over - but there was probably more than 800 people attending.
The events included an Isarn band , colourful folk dancers and as usual a very professional group of Khon dancers - the show was terrific - esp the khon.
we are including some photos of the events - hope you enjoy them.
