Must admit usually a great do as well. Went to my first one in 1993. Blew my mind out as in those days things English and indeed most things foreign were a trifle thin upon the ground.

I must confess I spent too much time in the ''beer tent'' so reminisce in many ways regarding the old traditional village fetes I knew and grew up with.

Just like a village fete back home, but with more booze and a lot more advertising/sponsorship. It's a vaguely entertaining way to spend the afternoon though.

The images are from the net to show how the average English village looks not the actual 1993 event.

Below three links that may be of help to those of us in understanding the matter.

Just a reminder Ploenchit Fair is on tomorrow. Saturday 26 November. Fletch and family will be visiting -probably in the afternoon. The girls enjoyed it last year and are looking forward to it even more so this year now they go to Patana school.

Last year's favourite was the giant plastic bubble on the water youngest Smile went it. Large queue but worth the wait
