Thailand's 'after 5' rule

Weekend slight chance (10-30%) of scattered showers.

Last night was the M150 concert in Sakon City.  My house seemed to have been a designated pre-concert neighborhood gathering point. Helmets left behind Unfortunately as the sun goes down, after 5,helmets come off, even though the dangers of accidents increase at night

Praying for a speedy recovery

 January 23, 2013
Last I've heard:  Tony is in the Government hospital recovering from a motorcycle accident with serious injuries.  
He should be released from the hospital, requiring 'at home recovery time' within a day or two.

Friends have visited Tony and are assisting him.

Motor cycle accidents tend to cause injuries with a lifetime of discomforts of varying degree.
