How big is your Bathtub?

The Alcoholic Beverage Control Committee met Monday to

consider a ban on the sale of alcohol during the Songkran holiday period.

Instead of a nationwide ban, nearly impossible to enforce in my opinion, the decision was made to declare specific areas alcohol free areas.

Haven't seen any postings of local restrictions Yet!  Will post as information becomes available!




More than 100 Australians died in Thailand...  

...largely due to illness or accident...

Interesting read.  

Some of the points made apply to travelers from other nations as well

Or should I say: "...hire someone..."

Sakon FC HOT

"Where in the hell is the scoreboard."  

I was looking at it's regular location.

Obviously I need new glasses.  
32 minutes into the game I finally spotted it:

New Scoreboard, with lights.

Two early goals by Sakon FC did not count. Ruled "Off Sides."

The second call was a bad call according to the heckling from the spectators.

For a while it seemed like "Referee Amateur Hour."

One particular moment I was anticipating a fisticuff. 

 

The matter was settled amicably. 

Attendance at the game was sparse during the first half.

• Game time had been changed from 5 pm to 4 pm (AGAIN).
• Few knew.

At halftime the stands were starting to fill

 

A larger audience, more cheers...

Both teams came alive during the second half,
  as if they had a double helping of energy.

Or was it a planetary realignment

Whatever the cause, the result was a fast action game rivaling pro game action

The fact that Sakon FC won a home game lifted local spirits.

Sakon FC has risen from 13th (of 16) in the league, to the single digit. (to be determined later today)  

Take your medicine

Laughter is the best medicine

Sure glad I got air conditioning
