A parade for the King’s birthday was organised on beach road yesterday. I wasn’t sure how big it was going to be, but had not reckoned on half of Pattaya getting ready to march.
The entire length of beach road was busy with flag waving folk of all ages:






Tourists were curious onlookers:

Somehow everyone was alerted that the march was about to start, lined up with surprising speed, and away they went.











All shots with the Fuji X100 (think I would have preferred using the GF1, but the wife had “borrowed” it).
