Lamphun

Thankfully, I chose the second day. It didn't rain, but the course surface was terrible; those wearing sandals went from white to black. Unlike the first day, the wait for the shuttle bus wasn't long; it started even earlier than the staff said. I was lucky to get standard first-row tickets, which had a lot of space to release sky lanterns—they provided a ton! There were also fireworks, but unfortunately, the wind direction was different from the fireworks. The end was quite chaotic, with no great exit route; you had to watch by yourself, and some people even cut in line. There were golf carts to take you to the restrooms, but I still recommend not drinking too much, as I don't know if there will be a water shortage later. I highly recommend attending; it's much cheaper than other events.

I'm very grateful to the driver for his thoughtful commentary on the sights along the way and for always being punctual at the right time and place each month. It was a very pleasant trip, and I'm very thankful.
