Other Sakon Reads

At the web board 'skyscraper city' is a thread of over 40 pages entitled:
SAKON NAKHON "City of Beautiful lake, Beautiful Mountain and Beautiful Girl"
It's worth scrolling through the pages for some really great local photography.

The board is in Thai, so if you want to read some of the articles, then install a translator (add-on) into your browser. On page 43 there's an article mentioning a celebration in Tao Ngoi District (southern most district of Sakon Nakhon province), on September 12.  The event is highlighted by a barge procession similar to those held on the Mekon River



Wolfgang S. aka Farang Mike in Issan  recently wrote "Sakon Nakhon, an introduction," at his website<
Wolfgang S. is obviously a professional travel writer. The article is a  brief overview of the area's history, sights, entertainment, accommodations, etc.
