You couldn't have described the feeling of being at a festival better. Brought back so many memories and gave me so much anxiety for my lack of planning for this summer's festivals.
Wasn't aware there were so many festivals in Thailand even (except for the world famous water festival!), seems like the perfect place though!
We went to Boomtown last year in the UK, it was out of this WORLD! Not sure if you've heard of it before, but they set up this totally interactive town, and there's a whole storyline (every year is a new episode to the story), and revolutions happen, Queens get overthrown, you literally feel like you're in this mysterious magical town far away from the real world. They have their own money, newspaper, and there are actors walking around really enhancing the roleplaying aspect... it's absolutely MENTAL!
