Two snake stories

Cobra Town 50 km north of Khon Kaen.

A cobra also made Sakonnakhon news last month
Don't know all the facts to the story, received the clip in e-mail.
Apparently one farmer required hospital care.
1,000 baht per kilo, if I'm hearing right, that's pricey Watch the video here

Sakonnakhon NOK Air office

Received an e-mail telling me of the NOK Air office in town

... inside Tip Beauty and Spa. 492//4 Jaiphasuk Rd. T.Tadcheangchum,Muang Sakon Nakhon,4700 ,tel/no.042-,712256 {not far from Big C.} owner is lady named Aorry,speaks fair English. Await your link.
regards

I tried to find the place twice, and failed.

Someone said near Pizza place (across the street from BIG C).
Drove down the alley, still no luck.

Handed my camera to a Thai friend.
Told him go and take some pictures of the place.

Don't look like ... inside Tip Beauty and Spa to me.
Looks more like office in a box

Received the Sakonnakhon FC season schedule and have started to post it here: Sakonnakhon-FC

Major Embassies are now posting warnings to their countrymen to avoid public gatherings especially in Bangkok. Tour groups arriving on February 26 have been advised to take their tours outside the city.

Considering Medical Tourism? You may want to avoid these:

Precision bus and truck driving skills

Received this video in e-mail.
I have no clue where this takes place. Someone suggested South America.  Could be.
The background voices are German.  I traveled on similar roads in Italy back in the fifties.
On the Italian mountain road I remember crashed cars abandoned on many curves, so I doubt its Italy.

Sakonnakhon is hungry for a win after loosing last week to Buriram

Did you see the Segway in Sakon Nakhon?

I didn't either.  I missed the parade too.  I was at the ballgame instead.
Videos of the parade and evening ceremonies are available thanks to bonusjeab

Always wanted one of those. Here are the instructions on how to make one of those scooters

Remember that horse in the parade?  Previous post.

It's going to be a hot dry Summer

Bangkok Post has an article forecasting drought conditions.
Even though the article does not specifically mention Sakon Nakhon, 
it does mention the North East.

Enjoy the cooling trend for another week before the weather starts to heat up.  
Some rain likely this week.

Yes there is... No there isn't... Yes there is

Yes there was a parade yesterday.
 By the time it was confirmed to me I was at the ball game.
There's also a three day food fair in town.
