20 Aug, third Kumbal listed 6:53. We are looking at victoria drive shade with a meeting lamp pin. Ordinary bags. Not paying a balcony. Ampitiya tuk is the backup.

Hold Victoria Drive shade if you want the actual line. 6:53 is the listed start, not a promise the first elephant is on the kerb at 6:53. Arrive early, sit low, zip the water. Third night the crowd already knows the drill. Street is still free.

We stood Ampitiya tuk with kids and saw flags and backs. Kinder than a packed Victoria Drive shade if anyone is shaky. Sit-mat yes. Frame stool no.
