Wednesday Walk: walking to the river to see the boat race, เดินไปที่แม่นํ้าเพื่อดูการแข่งเรือ
### This is my entry for #wednesdaywalk hosted by @tattoodjay.  My walk along the dirt road towards the river took me about fifteen minutes.  This was my walk to see the annual boat race and to check out the local village fair.

The weather was very hot and sunny so I needed an umbrella to give me some protection from heat stroke.  I walked past a few houses along the way until I saw several cars parking by the road; these cars probably belonged to visitors from nearby villages.

There’s a short cut to the river but most people did not like to go through this way for fear of snakes. They said those big snakes were living in the nearby bush. I used to go through this path when it was very thick in rainy season.  I had to sing very loud to frighten all the snakes away.

I had to turn right by this fisherman’s hut.  Then it took another fifty meters to reach the road by the river.

The simple fisherman’s shack by the river was full of children and people who gathered there to see the boat race in the afternoon.

It was nice to be there earlier as there was still ample walking space and I could easily take my photos. A few shops were already opened for young customers. Groups of children and housewives were out to survey the venue of the boat race.

สองสัปดาห์ก่อนเราเดินเล่นไปดู การจัดงานแข่งเรือยาวประจำปีที่หมู่บ้าน อากาศร้อนจนต้องกางร่ม เพราะกลัวเป็นหวัดแดดและปวดหัว เราเดินออกกำลังกาย ผ่านบ้านใหญ่สามหลัง หลังมี่มีต้นไม้มากมายเป็นบ้านของอดีตนักบินชาวอเมริกันที่แต่งงานกับคนอีสาน ทางเดินบางตอนก็มีต้นไม้ครึ้ม แต่ถ้าสังเกตให้ดี จะเห็นมีคนเอาพวงมาลัยมาแขวนไว้ตามกิ่งไม้ ชาวบ้านเขาจะมีความลับบางอย่างเกี่ยวกับสถานที่ ถ้าเราไม่ไปถาม เขาก็จะไม่บอกเราเลย

When I spotted some jasmine garlands or flowers being offered at some random trees, that signaled to me to be careful walking pass this spot. Local villagers had secret knowledge about the land and associated myths or beliefs which would be kept secret.  I had to make an effort to learn about local wisdom in order to stay on the safe side. I would walked quietly with respect to that spot of land.

Hopeful vendors trying to make some money by the end of the day.

![vonhxuk8no.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/vonhxuk8no.jpg)

Life is quite tough for most people lately, I could glimpse this feeling among shop owners and vendors. I do hope more tourists would come to visit our country.

เราดีใจที่เห็นเด็กๆ และผู้คนมาเที่ยวงานตั้งแต่เช้าแม้ว่าอากาศจะร้อนอบอ้าวมาก เรามองดูแววตาคนขายของส่วนใหญ่มีความกังวลเรื่องปากท้อง และมีความหวังว่า เขาจะสามารถทำเงินกำไรได้สักก้อนหนึ่งในงานนี้ ปีนี้นํ้าในแม่นํ้าน้อยมาก ทำให้การแข่งเรือง่ายขึ้น เพราะน้ำไม่เชี่ยวเหมือนปีก่อนๆ

This year the water level in the river became very low. So, the boat race would be less strenuous than previous years. But the rowers would have a long walk down to their long boats. Lots of visitors settled down for a picnic under some remaining trees by the river.

Wishing you peace, good health and prosperity.

Cheers.

What a fun day! I love the idea of singing loudly to keep the snakes away.
