Sakon Nakhon First impression ten years ago

Ten years ago - 2002

My Seattle living room was somewhat of a Thai   memorabilia  museum..  

I had an offer visit to Sakon Nakhon and see if I'd like to retire here.

I visited Sakon Nakhon twice that year. April and October

Cheap living, hospitable and fun loving people, laid  back attitude, and a longtime dream (40 years) of retiring in Thailand, attracted me.

I packed my bags and arrived in Sakon Nakhon in February of 2003.
