A SakonNakhon First

Sakon F.C. 3 - 2 Udon Thani F.C.

      

I knew this was going to be a great game.
In a previous match at Udon, the teams walked away as equals 1-1.
The first half of the game was intense. At times neither team kept control of the ball for very long.
Udon Cheers outnumbered local groans, as Udon Thani scored the first goal fifteen minutes into the game.


It took The Sakon players ten more minutes to come up with their first goal.
After that it looked like it was going to be an easy victory with successive  goals by Sakon

   

Early in the second half Udon scored again making it a 3 - 2 game.
It almost was going to be another tie game, but what looked like another goal by Udon was nixed by the referee.

Thai Tourism Resuscitation

Tourism Thailand is developing a new site: 

• Amazing Thailand  Amazing Value  Beta.

I've been following the building of the site for the last few months.  
There have been continuous improvements.

It's the first time that Sakon Nakhon and many other areas of Thailand 
have been added as Thailand travel destinations, with more than a paragraph or two.
There's plenty of information available about Sakon Nakhon. 
 It's a Beta version, that means "there's plenty more to come."
