NOK five remants

Two days ago, while the rain subsided I traveled south on I.T.U., past where it officially ends.
Past the new pavement where pothole highway begins.
Water runoff was fairly rapid. No extreme water levels.
But some locals will have to be extra cautious on their way home.

Vegetation flourished during the dry season in the river bed, now the river is widening on the side without vegetation.

Sakon FC has a new MERCEDES

At least new to the team. 

Latest I heard it was being 'repaired' before it's brought into service. Anyone have a guess what year this bus was new.  I'm guessing 1060'

From 110805 SakonFC bus

Mostly cloudy with occasional sun breaks, rain

The Google earth image can be somewhat deceiving. 

It seems to show only the upper atmosphere.

A better view of local weather can be seen at the 

Thai Meteorological Satellite page.
It indicates mostly cloudy with occasional sun breaks

No Surprise here!  Can't afford the insurance?
