On the SakonNakhon Waterfront - Revisited

Aquatic harvesters have just about completed  clearing the raceway 

Boat ramps have been cleared and marked

Most weeds have been cleared from the waterfront, with one obvious exception

Racing lane markers are in position

Tents are beginning to appear at the park entrance

I'm wondering?

Is this guy Fishing?  With one end of the pole in the water, the other end under his crotch.

Is he expecting the King Kong of fish?

Then there's the guy with what looks like a rifle.  

Rodent patrol ? Or is that a pocket fisherman "as seen on TV?"

I said: "Don't ever bring WW to my house"

They call it Whiskey White Lau Kau. 
It's whiskey made from rice.

The taste and effect remind me of 'Moonshine' or 'White Lightening.'

It has the same effect: "A very quick and cheap way to get wasted."

Overuse is definitely not healthy.

No room for spectators at Sakon's Leo Cup

The upstairs viewing area was vacant.  Reserved for V.I.P.??

Participant parking filled the lot
I parked across the street

Participants and their Ladies occupied most of the seating

The Leo Futsal cup apparently was not intended for public spectators. 

Parking and seating was at a premium. 

Had intended to sit at a nearby restaurant and view the action.
When I asked for a beer I received a somewhat devious look, no beer. 

Later I was informed that it was the umpteenth election day. No serving of alcohol.

Apple's All You Can Eat Spaghetti Night

Leo Cup Futsal Today

Artificial Turf field west of MACRO

Very limited public seating

I'll probably sit in the restaurant at the entrance.

A friend of mine is the chef there, and they do serve beer !!

Daily harvest from my garden
Also harvested foot long green beans, coconuts and bananas

Cement Pouring this morning, extending the front porch.
The space had been unused

Fun things to do in N.E. Isaan

Tourism Authority of Thailand,TAT, Nakhon Phanom office video's on YouTube are dramatically improving.

Another video at YouTube is of a last year's Nakhon Phanom Illuminated Boat Procession,a similar procession is held later this month in Nakhon Phanom.

The Great Escape, Sakon Style

Just when you thought you've seen it all, the question arises: 

 "Why did the sow cross the four lane highway?"

With each approaching vehicle, this ham scurried to safety, eventually accomplishing a safe crossing. 

Smarter than most soi dogs

Sakon Nakhon Real Estate

Foreigners cannot own land in Thailand.  http://www.ddproperty.com/en/sakon-nakhon     It's an eight page listing of local realestate. It's interesting to note is the prices

The title "Teaser..." is right.

At the end of the video a big headline: 
"coming soon."

I asked: "when?" 
 The reply was: "Maybe not"
