By the time the boat reached the end of the route the amount of lotus flowers had risen up to the shoulders of the Buddha image. Obviously many people had been able to throw their flowers accurately. If you are planning on going to this festival next year, then I suggest that you go to Wat Bang Phli Yai Nai first as this is where there are the most people. You have time to spend about an hour here taking pictures of the boat as it passes and then the floats. Or just soak up the atmosphere. Then hop on a motorcycle taxi that will take you the short distance to Wat Bang Phli Yai Klang where the boat will finally reach shortly before 9.30 a.m. There are less people here and much easier to take pictures.
