A good portion of the events are being held at the Thammasat University campus in Rangsit. I headed out today with my camera but didn't find too much in the way of games or events taking place.
With the opening ceremony taking place in Bangkok, I believe most of today's high profile preliminary activities were at the sites located within the city.
However, I went to the main stadium at Thammasat and took some photos of some of the 170 flags representing the nations taking part in these games. I took shots of those that were aesthetically pleasing in my opinion, and ones that many people might not necessarily be familiar with.
Have a look and see if you know which countries are represented by each flag. The number corresponding to each flag appears under the picture.
The answers are in the comments section.
Festival of flags, Thammasat University, Rangsit, Thailand, August 8th, 2007
