Regarding Typhoon Yinxing / Marce

NOTE: Weather forecasts beyond two to three days become scientific guesses.

By the time the storm reaches  southern Vietnam it may have diminished to a tropical storm.  The storm should have very little local effect, if any at all.

Interesting to note  is the MSN forcast (click 10 days) plots the storm moving north once reaching the area around Da Nang sometime next Tuesday. Suggesting it may diminish and come our way.

AccuWeather forecasts mostly cloudy with a bit of rain in the afternoon Thursday 14 November, with thunderstorms lasting through early friday.

Wunderground limits rain at of below 20%. Other weather services nixed any chance of local rain

MEANWHILE  Next three days temperatures may drop below 20 overnight

It's official Thai Winter starts today . . .

. . . and has been declared to end 28 February 

 Predictions spreading on social media indicate a cooler than normal winter. Blamed on La Nina.

From personal experience over the past two decades there were maybe a handful of 9C days. Most cool days were in the low teens. 
It's been said that temperatures of 10C and below kill off mosquitoes.
Cooling temperatures also is the start of colds and flu season. I'm already nursing a sore throat.

Forecasts indicate chilly nights ahead.  All depends on location. Obviously mountain areas will experience cooler temperatures.

No Thai League Representation in Sakon Nakhon Province

The question pops up occasionally. 
 
Sakon Nakhon FC was relegated to amateur status in mid 2023.  A decision was made to not pursue the team any further, most likely due to financial restraints.

A local team would have to start at amateur status for the first year in hopes of advancing the following year.  The financial requirements, even for an amateur league are phenomenal.

I attended Sakon FC games since its inception in 2005, in fact had the privilege to be team photographer for two seasons.  What I miss most is the travel to attend away games

Football, known in the US as soccer is alive in local teams and events.  Until recently I sponsored local football for over a decade.  Gave me a purpose to participate in the local community.
There are a number of football fields throughout the area.  The most popular these days is WEHUG.  Counted five football fields within the city. Most villages have their own fields
