Following on from the success of the Vijitr 5 light spectacular, we have another lights sensation coming to the old station. I'm quite P'd because I'm away this weekend and will miss it (will miss the classic car show as well).

I've been seeing the lights building over the last few weeks, and combined with the photos I'm seeing on social media, it looks as though it will be good. I intend taking a wander late tomorrow evening to see what is there so far.

What's a "6 zoned show"?

What's a "6 zoned show"

Ists's be one less than 7, but ist's be one more than five?

[Big Boy]

It is a show in 6 zones:

• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀

• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆

• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁

• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱

• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗼𝗺

Because I'm away at the weekend, I took a wander down to see what I could see. Obviously, with 2 days to go, it's still work in progress, but it shows a lot of promise.

While I was there, they were rehearsing for the shows, which again impressed me.

I think it should be a great event. Apologies for the shaky hand on a couple.

Any idea why they were celebrating 113 years of Hua Hin? Is there something special about that particular milestone?

[Big Boy]

I thought it was a strange milestone also, but could find no explanation. Hopefully somebody will know.

Found this on Google
113 is known as an angel number, a spiritual message believed to be sent by angels or the universe. Angel number 113, like others, holds special significance and offers guidance on your life's path. It serves as a reminder to align your thoughts, actions, and intentions with your higher purpose.

[Nereus]

I think that you may find it is 113 years since the first train arrived in the Hua Hin station.

[Big Boy]

Yes, but 113 years is still a strange anniversary to celebrate.

[joelle]

Yes, but 113 years is still a strange anniversary to celebrate.

I agree
Maybe a way to attract more tourists?

[Dannie Boy]

Maybe they made a big issue of it when it was 100 years, and have continued every year since?

[GroveHillWanderer]

Maybe they made a big issue of it when it was 100 years, and have continued every year since?

But they haven't. Pretty sure this is the first time they've had such a celebration in Hua Hin, at least since I've lived here.

[Big Boy]

Actually, they have had many celebrations centred around the station, with meals and dancing. However, there has been nothing on this scale. Whether previous celebrations have been connected, I've no idea.

Yes, celebrations around the station but as you say, none of the same nature as this.
