SakonNakhon Computer Service just got better

For computer parts, service and information I've been visiting the friendly folks at digicomp4u.
I've been experiencing their superb services for over five years.
Have no reason to consider going elsewhere
A big plus for me is that the store owners speak English.

Stopped by the store on Friday to purchase some CD envelopes and asked about the availability of wireless cameras.   They gave me the information and promised to get more.

They now have their own website.

I visited  http://digicomp4u.com/ today and found additional camera information  posted for me on their web board.

They are located less than a block south of the city bus station

No political gathering tonight

I'd heard there had been a number of political gatherings here in Sakon Nakhon over the past ten days.
Estimates were one and two thousand people.
So I took a look at the provincial headquarters complex myself this evening.
No political gathering tonight.  Instead the place was a bustling market, more like a flea market.
The only police action I saw was two police officers guiding a driver from his parking space on the sidewalk.

Based on hotel occupancy, SakonNakhon tourism is down 20%. ryt9.
Not as bad as Thailand's overall 40% drop in tourism.
SakonNakhon has more domestic and Asian tourism than other foreign tourism.

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.
