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 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.

Did you see the Segway in Sakon Nakhon?

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

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.
