Everywhere in Thailand has a night bazar, a night market of some description or a big weekend market. In Chiang Rai they take it a bit further. A large thoroughfare is closed off for the market, there is an multitude of stalls to buy just about anything, a selection of food to end the most austere of diets – and a large square for line dancing. Thai line dancing. There seemed to groups – organised hardcore dance classes in uniform, with clear lead dancers, as well as less formal social groups and the occasional Irish tourist.
The main attraction for me other than the food is the dancing and music. The dancing goes on for hours, a live band – sort of Thai Schlager – do the music and the dancing is continuous – til late.
This lot were a delight to watch and most agreeable for a photo.
As was Busker of the Night. Playing the cute card along with the music
And of course – evidence of the photographer getting in the swing..
