SakonNakhon - Mai Phen Rai

The only violence I have seen during the past weeks has been on television. I have traveled daily through the city and surrounding highways. The only damage I had seen was caused by recent high winds. Some advertisement placards had fallen over.

The curfew did not seem to be rigorously enforced in my neighborhood.
There was light traffic throughout  the early evening.  Locals were informed to clear the streets by 10:30.
I've seen people walking home after midnight.  Obviously late night neighborhood parties have not been squashed.

The water level at the local lake Nong Han has receded, not unusual, seasonal average.
They've been discussing dredging the lake every dry season as long as I've lived here.
And they are discussing it again.  RYT9
