Doing Saturday Night in Sakon Nakhon
They roll up the streets quite early in Sakon Nakhon.
The lights are turned off at 9 pm at most restaurants.
Traffic lights are in flashing mode.
8:30 pm at the 'Welcome Bar,' staff were still occupying the tables.
Only a few tables with customers.
It was a different story an hour later. The place was hopping. Local nightlife starts at 10 pm.
Next stop ONE SABAI (happy, relaxed, feel good, comfortable)
It's at the north end of I.T.U.
You can't miss it. It's the only loud place in the area.
The live band was really good. I definitely enjoyed the music.
Most patrons seemed what I call university age.
Pleasant atmosphere, attentive service. I had a really swell time.
They were still serving food after 10:30. I'll have to go back and see what's on their menu.
Upstairs offers accommodation for large parties.
Only downer: The place has only one toilet. M/F.
Don't wait till you desperately have to go. There's usually two or three people waiting in line.
I was home before midnight. For me the 'party animal years,' coming home at dawn, are fond memories.

Stock up on beverages beforehand
July 3 is election Day. Stock up on beverages beforehand.
Bars will be closed, restaurants can not sell alcoholic beverages.
Even though some will serve such beverages in coffee cups or camouflaged containers. We all know that.
"Extended stay visitors" to Thailand should register with their home country embassy.
Many embassies offer e-mail alerts whenever deemed appropriate.
Here's hoping it wont happen, but post election activity (July 3) is very uncertain for Thailand, with political unrest possible.

Selective wind damage?
Thailand is in high gear preparing for elections. You can't miss it.
Destruction of highway advertising posters has been on the news throughout many provinces.
Vandals are getting some help from mother nature.
Or are vandals just making it look like it was the wind?
The poster with a hole, where a face used to be is obvious vandalism.

Liverpool Buriram
Sometimes it's a bit difficult to understand Samat.
He asked me if I was going to Buriram to see Liverpool.
Took me a few days, and a bit of surfing to discover that Buriram has a new stadium.
They had invited the team from Genoa to play at the new stadium. That team was not available.
Second choice, Liverpool had a cancellation and is apparently scheduled to play in Buriram on July 27.
No plans here to travel. Being such an important event for Thailand, I would think it will be broadcast nationwide.
Meanwhile, Sakon Nakhon FC will undoubtedly receive another spanking July 26, when they host Roi Et.
Roi Et is number one in the division, While Sakon Nakhon FC is number 8.
I'm just hoping the spanking wont be as bad as last time, 9-1.

Hey Big Spender
A couple recently toured through Muang Sakon and blogged their experiences
- Rice Transplanting
- Tour with the monk
Last time I visited the temple the elder monk tried to sell me a musical statue for 2,000 Baht.
Final paragraph of the tour with a monk entry, all I can say "Been there done that!"
First week in Sakon Nakhon I told my friends I'm going for a walk and see the city.
Sometime later I returned to the restaurant where I started.
They told me I had walked past the restaurant four times.
