The unbearably loud head-banging 'music' coming from my local Temple area was too much for me to handle so I retreated
to quieter and more dignified areas where Loy Krathong was being celebrated more sedately.

A nearby Temple was a nice stop.

Then up to Wat Phratat Doi Saket.

Quiet Buddhist chanting was emanating from the 'Buddha's Footprint' dome.

And the dome area offered a view down to our local 'Ground Zero', Nong Bua Lakes.
I will immerse myself there tonight.

Then lanterns were released beside the dome.

A view back towards Chiang Mai.

Then off to look for some domestic decorations.

Then home in time for only 10 more minutes of imposing 'music' until 12-15am.

Let's see what Nong Bua has to offer tonight.
