Fumigating the neighborhood

I was aware of the fact that they were coming.  But I wasn't expecting 'em that early.
I had just stepped out of the shower at 7:30 AM when I heard the distinctive sound of the sprayers.

I looked out of the window, the street near my residence seemed to be the starting point.
Just lucky I had all my doors and windows closed due to the cool weather.


Normally I would have opened my gate and let them spray the entire property, but I wasn't dressed for the occasion.

Half an hour later I had to walk through that stuff to catch my ride on ITU.

It's not really an eradication.  Only flying mosquitoes are annihilated.  The eggs  are undamaged and will be active mosquitoes in a matter of hours.

In the early evening hours the fumigation seemed almost unnoticeable.  Plenty of mosquitoes out for blood

They are building "The Great Wall of SakonNakhon."

If you're driving into town on highway 22, you can still see the golfers and other sights.  But not for long.  Very soon you'll only see a very long wall

 




Think this Highway sign was fairly recently installed.
At least I hadn't spotted it till recently.
It seems to be gaining fame as a tourist attraction.
Seen pictures on Facebook and a number of personal photo albums.

The area does have a large Vietnamese population and it probably makes them feel closer to home.

Savannakhet

Had to take some remedial geography on that one. 
Wasn't at all where I thought it would be.
