Sakon City BOOM Town

Sakon City Songkran to the classics



It's obvious:

The construction boom is going on in most of North Eastern Isaan.


A decade ago, what today is known as Sakon City, was then a sleepy, slow paced town.

   It functioned as a party zone.

There was a waiting list to get a phone line to your home, unless you had friends with "connections."

with lots more to go.
Can't describe how happy I am seeing these pictures reappear.

For a calender of 2012 Thai holidays I recommend the 


I'll continue to list local and special events here @ sakonnakhon-live
