Get ready for the Hot Season, it's coming !!

"Buy a fan Now"  reads the headline at Thailand Business News
"...it might get hotter than usual...
   ...you may be asked to shut down your air-con to avoid a power outage."

Power outages a likelihood this hot season.
An electric fan won't be much use

Cold shower won't work. No water pressure without electricity.

Buy or build a small pool. 
Mine is only chest high, reducing the risk of accidental drowning.
Made for lounging and water play, not for endurance swimming.
Maximum capacity: I've counted 18
When the temperatures become unbearable, a tub or pool (and a cold drink)  is a sensible only solution.


If it gets hotter than usual, add ice as needed.

 

The place to be on a really hot day: as long as the canals wont run dry





Electricity service curtailment a possibility

Saturday night Double header


I had known of the comedy act's one night performance in Sakon Nakhon.  

I was prepared for heavy traffic on my way to watch "Sakon Nakhon - Live" futsal.


Both events were taking place at opposite ends of Ming Muang Field (Municipal field west of the city police station)






I would have loved to tie on the rubber band and see how hight I could jump.

'Mister Stomach' said: "NO WAY."  My spine agreed.


I had to satify myself simply watching the fun













 

Big Screen TV's were visible to non-paying bystanders.  
Not everyone could afford the cover charge.











I was promised a SakonNakhon-Live win
by the coach and team captain before the start of the game












That promise was kept












I did not attend the victory party, I had already reached my drinking and driving limit. 

Also it was past my bed time. 

I did, however finance it

Eat your chemicals, err, vegies

vegetables available in the
