   Nong Han Island Invasion


The way it's been explained to me:

A (religious) group/organization from Bangkok (or there about) is moving to take over an abandoned island and temple.
Their purported intend is to build a new temple on the island.
Some locals seem to be fine with the plan while others in opposition seem to be against 'outsiders taking over the island.'

Sakon FC clobbers Mukdahan FC









With only two games left in the season, yesterday's win almost assures Sakon FC will not end the season in last place. The team faces two tough opponents in the final games. 
They play at Nakhon Phanom Sept 15. Nakhon Phanom is in fourth place in the league at the moment, but they were previously defeated at Sakon Nakhon.
The final game of the season Sakon FC will host Chaiyaphum on September 22. Chaiyaphum is in 11th position at the moment.
