November in Sakon Nakhon

The main event in November of course is Loi Krathong, This year on November 3.   There have been some minor changes for this festival over the years.  Most obvious are flight restrictions.  Sakon Nakhon has an evening departure of a flight at 21:20. Fireworks may be delayed in some areas and restricted in other areas of Thailand    Of course there will be a parade and fanfare If you get caught up in this tradition and purchase a krathong, make sure there's no plastic or styrofoam holding it together.  It's an environmental thing, enforced in some parts of Thailand and not in others.

Traditionally the royal family donates blankets for the cold season to local villagers.  It was a star studded event in 2003. After that, cameras and mobiles were no longer allowed 031120 HRH Queen's visit at Phu Phan Palace View album Last time I visited the Phu Phan Palace, foreigners could visit the palace grounds when accompanied by a Thai native. Also no date yet announced is the Phu Phan Cup. A football tournament among Esarn provincial teams. Also a lot of fanfare, the opening and closing events usually fills the stadium beyond seating capacity.   Now that the rainy season is over, there are more local parties. Everything from birthdays to weddings, funeral remembrances, to rock concerts.  Oh yes, lets not forget university graduations   Nothing announced yet, generally there is some sort of Fair in November   US Citizens Outreach in KHON KAEN: Wednesday, November 8, 2017
