You can’t have a Sport Day without a parade!

I went to Sport Day at the subdistrict administration offices with one of my co-teachers, Sompong. There was a parade of each of the villages represented and Sompong was a judge for the parade. And then I sat in the VIP tent with my school principle, Banphot.

Can’t have a parade without a marching band.
And you always need pictures of the king and queen.
You also need majorettes.
I think this was a “stop smoking” theme.
And there were a few floats.
Kind of hard to walk in those heels!
Even the kids joined in.
And you have to have an elephant in a Thai parade.
My village, Ban Nong Waeng
Speeches. It was hot out in the sun.
They even had a torch like the Olympics.
And to close out the opening ceremonies, this wonderful group of grandmothers danced for us.
