Labor Shortage in Sakon Nakhon

  Free all you can eat... 

...if you have a winning ticket, compliments Sakon FC
Twenty winning tickets will be drawn during halftime when Sakon F.C. hosts Sisaket this afternoon

  Labor Shortage in Sakon Nakhon, 

  building boom is the reason

Sakon's restaurants and hotels are feeling it the most.

It's always been somewhat of a problem, now its gotten worse.
Just about anywhere in this city and surroundings there's construction of some sort.
These days when you call to have some home repairs or improvements, you can expect a waiting period.
The air conditioner install and maintenance is booked solid for months.
The electrician can do some minor repairs when he has a free moment.
He shows up at 9 pm.
The big three home improvement centers which recently arrived in town are getting too much blame.
They are probably employing a hundred or so.
The 2000 census listed a population of 65,638 within the municipal area.  Have not found the 2010 census on the net, possibly due to continuing technical difficulties.

  Panda favors Spain as Euro 2012 winner 

Obviously a promotional gimmick. In the first pick the panda erroneously selected Germany and Spain to be in the final game.
Half right
Haven't found the latest clip on the web, but saw it on TV. 
The panda was given a choice of Spain or Italy. The panda favored Spain.
The TV video was cut at the point when the panda began devouring the Spanish flag.
Is this considered appropriate use of a foreign flag?  I'm only asking this after the recent hullabaloo over the use of the Thai flag displayed behind lady Gaga's motorcycle.
Where I come from, when a person displays a flag on a motorcycle, it's done so with pride.
Then again, we don't let animals shred flags, at least not in public.

  Wish they could photoshop Thailand

Unfortunately many of the sights in Thailand are distorted by electrical, phone and cable wires.
Don't you wish they would photoshop Thailand

  Keep your gates closed

Unless you need you grass mowed and and fertilized with 'Cow Pies,' keep your gates closed.  Even in the city.  A four foot fence won't do.  I've seen them jump over it with ease.


  Apologies 


  A few pictures on some of my older posts are disappearing and are being replaced with an exclamation sign.
I'm aware of the malfunction.
It's my fault.
I'm uploading albums en-mas, ten a day.
Some albums are being replaced in the process for better quality, or more pictures. Duplicates are being deleted.

Corrections are on the back burner,  sorry for the inconvenience
