Sakon Nakhon Hottest


This year has seen some of the hottest weather.
My latest electric bill attests to that.
A previous high of US$ 115 has been trumped this year with my latest electric bill (March 20- April 20) US$165

Even though there are plenty sunny days ahead, the monthly forecast for May foresees a lot more rainy days.

This is either a prelude to the rainy season, or the earliest start to the rainy season I've experienced (since 2003).

With rainy day weather you'd expect more moderate temperatures.  In fact temperatures will drop occasionally.  We won't notice it though.  For now high humidity will drive up the feels like temperature.
Feels like temperatures through mid May will stay in the low to mid forties.

Miss Thailand World 2013

Earlier this month

Sakon FC heavily outgunned





Roi Et is second in the league. A loss was to be expected.
The result 0-4 was not expected.

After a four hour bus ride, the players weren't rested enough for the challenge.




Sakon FC next travels to Nakhon Phanom, April 28, 16:00
Sakon Nakhon is eight, while Nakhon Phanom is ninth in the league.
It's winnable

What That Phu Phek


April Showers,Thunder and...


Storm to the north of us last night almost outlines the Thai Laos Border.

Intermittent showers, thunder most of next week.
Predominant weather systems approaching from the south.

Most of the heavy rains might dissipate over land before they reach us

Sakon FC delayed


A one day postponement of the game in Roi Et this weekend.
Changed from Saturday to Sunday.
One explanation I received was that the game time conflicted with a fair.
Can't confirm that reason.
Somehow I am hoping it's a scheduling change to allow TV broadcast of the game.

SMM TV recently broadcast the  Sakon Nakhon  vs Mukdahan Game.

Have not found a schedule at SMM TV.
My fingers are crossed.
It would be great to watch the game. SMM TV


Sakon Nakhon has never won a game with Roi Et.
