Martyn, as you know there is no bad time of the year to be here but during the holidays can definitely be fun. I remember asking Pookie about Halloween in Issan and she said they didn’t do anything but knew of the holiday.

Talen sorry I’m a little late coming in on this one.

I’ve never been in Thailand at the end of October and so I’ve not seen how they celebrate Halloween. Your photos from Pattaya show they do like to put on a bit of a show, and yet you say there was less atmosphere this time. The night looks fun and a great photo shoot opportunity, I must try and witness it myself one year.

I must also ask Wilai if Halloween is celebrated much up in Isaan. After all, there’s plenty of broomsticks laying around in the villages.

Talen, not really my cup of tea, although we Brits seem to have imported the theme from the US these last few years.

The only Halloween round here was the usual Thai ghosts and spirits rattling the windows……or was it just the strong cool wind

Steve, Halloween has never been big on my list either but watching the Thai’s have fun is infectious. Christmas in the land of smiles should be great fun as well. I know you and Golf will have a great time this Christmas with the little one.

Halloween has never been my favorite holiday, but looks as if it could be a good time there in Pattaya. Of course pretty much any night could be a good time in Pattaya :>)

I’m patiently awaiting Christmas, which IS my favorite holiday and with the addition of Alivia this year should be extra special.

Cat, I had a great time. Funny thing was it was cool and breezy last night which made me think of Halloween at home

It sounds like you had a good time Talen. Even if it was a bit low key (my type of fun, actually).

Oh. Before I forget… YOU DID TOO!

Paul,
it wasn’t too much to miss but it was a good bit of fun. Christmas is a round the corner so there is always that.

I knew that Halloween was soon, but now it seems I’ve missed it. I’m glad you made the best of it Talen.
