Yesterday morning I attended the parade of the flower festival, which just passed by nearby my hostel. Hence, even as I was 30 minutes “late” I didn’t missed anything – but anyway the Thai were not on time at all. The parade consists mainly of marching bands from several schools, parade floats with different motives and some other groups. These floats were individually decorated with colourful flowers and sponsored by different organisations. But as I don’t read Thai I was unable to identify them. After two hours the parade was finished and followed by a large traffic jam, as everyone needs to drive along the road immediately. I was walking into the old town and visited some Wats, which are all in use. Some of the more popular ones requested entrance fee, but as there are so much around here and all looking more or less similar I just decided to visit the ones which don’t require any fee, as for me, in the end, everything is same, same. In between I visited a park with lots of flowers and much more people which taking pictures of them. So I escaped from the crowds. Somehow this city remembers me at Luang Prabang, which had also lots of Buddhism temples and tourists. In the end I was exhausted from all those crowds and needed some relaxing. Luckily I found a small boulder gym in the old town. Together with Anna&Anna, both from the Netherlands, I went there in order to do some moves. It was really small and all the routes pretty hard. Not that they all had some overhanging part, the were bolted also mainly for small people. On the one hand it was nice to do some moves, but contrary to me nice experience in Bangkok I was a bit disappointed afterwards and felt a bit bad for the girls, as this was her first experience and they struggled already at the most easiest ones.
