There's a bit of Albion in Na Kae.

British folk will know this, but I had to look it up.
Albion is the oldest known  (Greek) name of Great Britain.
Thought to derive from the white cliffs of Dover

Na Kae is 50 km from Sakon Nakhon on highway 223 on the way to That Phanom.

Slow News Day - Home and Garden

SakonNakon Radio Control Airshow

It was around 2:30 when I arrived at the R.C  field.

Still too early for the main event. Think they were doing qualifying flights.

It was a regional gathering, RC pilots from all over Isaan.

These pilots were allowed pre-flight boozing.  

Don't know if it was a language problem or just booze.  

I wanted a picture of the back of his T-shirt.  

Every time we got him to turn around, he kept bending over, like I should take a picture of his rear bumper.  

Took a while, but I got the picture I wanted.

RC piloting is a father and son activity

Trophies and placards were awarded later in the day:  Notice the Smiles of Thailand

Here's a behind the scenes picture of the trophies and placards, or is that the pilot lounge?
Smiles medicine.

SakonNakhon FC takes a Whupping

 

 
Attendance to the game was impressive. 
Not quite a full house, but pretty close.
That's it for the good news. 

By half time SakonNakhon FC was down by one goal. 

Hopes were still high until the second half was underway.

By the second goal a few spectators started to leave.

  With the third goal, spectators where leaving like mice on a sinking ship.

By the fourth goal... the ship was definitely sinking

Of course there was a momentary exuberance when Sakon Nakhon finally scored.

Nobody home

  The SakonNakhon Goal keeper was almost at midfield, 

when Nakhon Ratchasima FC inflicted it's final goal. 

During most of  Nakhon Ratchasima goals, SakonNakhon players seemed to be at the other half of the field.

They'll be scratching their heads about this game.  

Undoubtedly the fan base will shrink drastically because of this defeat.
