110823 Sakon Nakhon Sandwich and Steak House >> Bygone
Until recently, the choice of expat establishments in the city of Sakon Nakhon was quite limited. That changed almost overnight. Now expats have three places to choose from.
1. ChernChim
2. Sunshine Garden
3. Sakhon Sandwich and Steak House
The Sandwich and Steak house is the latest addition to the scene.
It's located at the entrance to the PLR Apartments, just off I.T.U.
I've eaten there twice since Sunday. In my opinion the food is **** (4 star).
Hakan and his wife had been in the area for three years, but only recently opened their restaurant. They expect to expand their restaurant into the shop next door at the end of the month. Most portions are quite filling, but if you wish a hamburger, you might want to consider ordering two.
At 35 baht per burger, these portions are made for local on the go customers

Sakon FC 4 - Amnat Charoen 0
Video by Zintiara
The rains subsided early Sunday afternoon. There was plenty of water and mud on the field adding a bit of slapstick to the game.
Announced start time was 5 PM. Don't know whose timepiece they were using. By the time I arrived at 5 PM,the game had already been underway for fifteen minutes. In fact I was still in the parking lot when I heard the cheering crowd announcing the first goal.
Both teams played a very good game, but Sakon FC obviously had the upper hand in this game.
Sakon FC next travels to Mahasarakham for a game scheduled for 6 PM, Sunday, August 28.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the start time will again be altered.

Murder In Sakon Nakhon
Parts of this story have been in the news almost daily since the day a body of a young lady was found floating in a nearby river (Aug 13). Apparently blood along the shore alerted someone who discovered the body. The culprit was quickly apprehended.
He was taken to the scene of the crime for a (seen on TV) "re-enactment."
Of course friends and family of the victim where at the scene during the re-enactment.
The distraught mother of the victim was consoled and slightly restrained by friends.
The online version of the story (in Thai) can be found at RYT9
The translated version can be fount at Google Translate. The computer translation is far from great.

Temporary respid (we had)
Light through medium rain for most of last night. Subsided during the early morning hours.Weather seems to be traveling from the East South East.
Temporary respid from the looks of this Google satellite image.
Meanwhile I'll empty my water tanks into the pool.
Slight warming trend from the present 26C to 31C.
The 'feels like' is another story, 41C by midweek.
Anti Drug Campaign a Suck Seed

There's an English lesson gone haywire.
Really that's not how you succeed.
Think the team's name may be success?
But then I am reminded that the Thai language has a similarly sounding word meaning honor.
Here's my Google translation:
Team Honor beat Sakon VS. Wmv - YouTube.
Competitive basketball against drugs in 2554 at the Khon Kaen University basketball gym . between August 6, 54 and 28 August 54 honor ...
Have a suck-seed-full day!!
