200614 Tony Richie Funeral in Tao Ngoi

Google map led us through a ten minute detour on the way to a temple in Tao Ngoi.  It was a complete circle. Keeping calm was a challenge.                                     

Once there I was offered what I thought was water, it wasn't.  It was the Thai version of white lightening.

Got dizzy a few times from the heat and blood pressure medicine. It's a side effect common to this medicine  I learned.

Cooled down once pouring cold water over my head.

Left the funeral probably a half hour early

Street fishing season is open


I ventured out after the heavy rains subsided after 2 pm, Friday afternoon. Water was draining off to lower terrain. The road water level was subsiding noticeably 


Expect a short breather with plenty more rain on the way

There's plenty isolated flooding photography shared on Facebook.  Mixed with it are lots of one year anniversary pictures from the 2017 flood. It's difficult to discern if it's current or not in many cases.
At Tao Ngoi 27 km south of Sakon City, Friday


Sakon City pumping to avert floodingFriday


I did not attend this year's parade, no sense to get my camera wet

More social media loses

This storm is gone, but the rainy season is not

DOKSURI has move on and is now centered over Vientiane
Here at Sakon city some periods of heavy rain, a bit windy, but not as bad as forecast.  Not far from us Tao Ngoi experienced flooding, Nakhon Phanom seemed more in the path of the storm and experienced some damage.
Facebook link↓↓

Reports from Nakhon Phanom indicate things got quite windy

Wasn't all that bad at my house.  Made towels available to visitors

Time to put on a party mood




Scheduling the Tao Ngoi festival may have been a bad choice.
In the past they had been near the end of September, when the rainy season was winding down.
Chance of light afternoon rain today most likely.

Been traveling the road to Tao Ngoi frequently over the years and have seen plenty changes

 




The parades are quite elaborate and extensive.  This is not a small town parade.  
The time and effort put into the displays are incredible. It's not thrown together on a weekend.



There's plenty activities for the next four days


Of course the illuminated barge parade is something not to be missed.  Come early to find a good spot.  This event gets quite crowded.



Tao Ngoi is a 20 minute drive from Sakon City. Take the highway passed global till you see a traffic light (picture), turn right. When the road ends in a T intersection, turn right
