Great pics! My two baht's worth about the festival: Free is good! Free gives lots of Thais an opportunity to hear quality music they would otherwise have no chance of hearing. And who knows? ... Maybe some kid will pick up the sax or bass because of what he saw over the weekend. But, if it's free yo...
