Sunday is Election day AGAIN in Sakon Nakhon. Think its the third or fourth election in the area this year No alcohol sales until the polls close.

Sakon FC hosts Loei FC this Sunday Loi FC is 5th in the division. Sakon FC is 15th  Whether alcohol will be allowed at the game is questionable. Polls close at 3:30 pm. Game starts at 5pm.

Dumb Farang

A couple of older ladies hung a plastic bag on my front gate this morning.
I must admit I was a bit puzzled why they would hang half a dozen tea bags on my gate.
Glad I had no inclination to have a cup.

When the neighborhood kids stopped by after school, they had a good laugh at my expense.  

It's a chemical added to standing water to kill mosquito larvae.
Of course I have no idea what chemical is involved and what effect it will have on the local pond fish.

You drink beer. I go to swim home you
Yes I am at home
Now ok I going, I go home and freind. Fine munite. You buy beer

I offered glasses, but that's not how it's done.
Beer and ice is poured into a bucket and served with straws.
If you've never drunk beer through a straw, beware: it has a very immediate effect.
