Annual event, one of the cultures of my city

Hello friends, welcome back. I hope you won't get bored of me. It's good to have good friendships. Even though we live in different countries, we can still be friends. In this era where the world is open and free, because there is the internet and social media platforms, it's good to meet each other. We can exchange and learn about each other's cultures and lifestyles. Some things are similar, some things are different. We can apply, develop, or understand each other's cultural differences.

Today, every year in January at my home, there is an annual event held at Photharam Market, which is now called the Dragon Market. The event lasts for about 2 weeks. There are shops from different places who rent space to sell their products, divided into different zones, such as the food zone, the playground zone for children, the tree zone, the clothing zone, and there is a Chinese art performance called Ngiu because Thais and Chinese have a relationship through ancestors. The Chinese immigrated to Thailand, which led to the emergence of Thai-Chinese people.

In addition to having a market for tourists to shop and taste, there will also be a shrine for people to worship and ask for blessings. The picture I took was taken yesterday, when the market opened one day before the actual day. You can see that some things are still not ready. Today is January 11th, which will be the first day and will end on January 21st. This is one of the cultures of the city where I live, which I would like to share with my friends.
