The annual fireworks festival took place Friday and Saturday night. I watched the displays from the roof of my condo on Friday night and decided to check out if it was more impressive from the beach on Saturday.

The festival brings in a lot of people from Bangkok and other places so the city is a bit of a nightmare. I tried to take a Baht bus on Friday around 5 in the afternoon but none would stop for me and when they passed by I understood why. There was no room for me to fit in if they stopped.
I did not even think about taking a Baht bus on Saturday and walked the mile down to beach road to watch the fireworks. I would go to one of the 7-11s and buy a beer to drink while enjoying the show. There were huge lines in all the 7-11s with all the people that had the same idea as me. Luckly the lines moved quickly and I only missed a couple of minutes of the first show waiting to pay for my beer.
The display was more impressive from the beach but setting on the roof of my condo was a lot more relaxing. It was a good mix seeing one night from each place but did not enjoy the walk home on Saturday after a few too many beers.
