SakonNakhon FC; Intense Action, But No Cigar

 

 





At Halftime Sakon was down by one.  Plenty of near misses, ...BUT NO CIGAR*.
Plenty of spectator cheers, groans, moans and lots of OOOOY-Y-Y.  The pace was fast.

The action intensified as the second half progressed. Final three goals of the game were made in  quick succession during the last seven minutes.
Chest buffing confrontations and a red card,  as the end of the game approached, kept spectators enthused until the final whistle.

Quite obvious, there are more farang/fallang (foreigners) attending SakonNakhon FC games every week

*Close, but no cigar
Phrase from the mid 1900's when fairground stalls supposedly gave out cigars as prizes.

He's not shy either and loves light petting.
A larger residence is in the planning

Fresh Coconut milk tends to begin fermenting after three days of refrigeration.  Since I use this milk mostly for cocktail hour, I've been able to extend the shelf life by adding the rum before refrigerating. Ready mixed drinks can also be used for cooking, as alcohol tends to dissipate when heated

Welcome Bar keeps cool 
Dip a small hand towel in water, wring and hang it over a fan. The moisture cools the fanned air. Towel dries within three to five minutes and requires repeated wetting.

What a relief it was

I had just finished  my shopping when the skies opened with a 30 minute tropical rain.  Instantly temperatures dropped, while shopkeepers refilled their water supply for free

Been feeling quite hot lately. Very high humidity. The pool felt more like a hot tub.
The ice shop was kind enough to let us use their delivery motorcycle to take the six blocks of ice home

Ah that did the trick.  Now bring me my coconut rum.

SakonNakhon Immigration Office: Testimonial by Erich

I also used Immigration in Sakon this week for my non-O marriage and it was flawless.

They were very nice and easy to work with. We had to go back for copies several times (they don't have a copy machine).

Thailand Internet Speed

Internet speed depends on distance to a junction box, no matter which of the two companies you use. T.O.T. or T.T.T. use the same server.
