Sakon vs Khon Kaen Coke Cup Final, Friday
Sakon faces Khon Kan in the final match of this year's coke cup.
3 PM Friday, municipal field.
This Saturday, proceed with caution
Red Rally in Sakon Nakhon
That according to an article in today's THE NATION
I'll be keeping a great distance from any public gatherings Saturday, and recommend foreigners do the same.
Most likely security forces will be out in full force for the occasion throughout the city.
I'm shopping in Khon Kean
Many hotels in in Khon Kean had no vacancy.
Possibly due to the silk festival.
Thanks to Tom of Isaan-life I found the Grand Lion.
Not a fancy hotel, but suited me just fine. Located just a short distance from a shopping center and the place I had to go.
Been quite a pleasant trip so far, and I've been offered a free ride home.
My view of Khon Kean
So is there some other purpose for schools?
What amazed me even more was the wiring system.
I'd hate to be the lineman looking for your phone connection.
You really have to step carefully.
These critters are everywhere. Just glad they are cement, not the real thing.
After taking care of my affairs I had a rum breakfast nearby.
Met this guy who'd been thinking he's been drinking Thai Whiskey for the past ten years. He was a bit shocked that Sangsom is a rum
My free ride home has been delayed by a day, after a bit more local shopping, we are off to Udon

Traveling for an annual Income Statement
I'm on the way for an overnight stay in Khon Kaen.
Had strongly considered doing the trip on my motorbike. Done that before, a couple of times.
That's a chilly trip through the Phu Phan Mountains this time of the year.
I do not have proper attire.
Did consider 'briefly' traveling by bus. My spine said "don't you dare!"
In the end I opted to hire a car (Bt3,700). Pricey I know, but my spine appreciates it.
At least this way I can have a few cocktails along the way.
