Google Map weather screenshots taken at 12 hr interval.   Most weather systems around us seem to be dissipating. Our weather is arriving from the south. There's some disagreement between forecaster sites when the rains will arrive. Thai Meteorology Department forecasts increased rain (70%) beginning Saturday. BBC and rp5: Sunday AccuWeather: Monday Wunderground and Meoweather: Tuesday Weather Channel: Isolated Thunderstorms almost daily. Until Sunday expect increased temperatures, peaking Saturday and Sunday. As the rains arrive and the days get cooler, expect night time temperatures to go up slightly (25C) |

Mozzie High Season in Thailand
The headlines read: "Sharp rise in dengue fever (in Thailand)."
A couple of my Thai friends have it. One is hospitalized.
There are variations to the trap
pictured in the video.
Tape instead of string facilitates easier cleaning.
I recommend adding sugar to extend
the life of the yeast.
It's the carbon dioxide produced during fermentation that's so enticing to mosquitos.
The trap really works.
That's the overnight collection
at my house.
Mosquitoes use their sense of smell to hunt after their prey.
Feet and ankles are a favorite.
Sweaty feet produce carbon dioxide. That cheesy smell is the attractant.
Wash your feet, apply repellant to exposed legs and ankles.
A diet of lot's of garlic and onions does not give you immunity. That's a myth.
If you've just eaten garlic, you wont be bothered by mosquitoes as long as you smell like an Italian salad, they'll be back as soon as the smell has dissipated.
Breath and sweat produce carbon dioxide CO2.
Standing water in the kitchen and bathroom are another mosquito favorite.
In the kitchen dish soap works for me.
Those blue cleaning tablets seem to work great in the toilet.
Dark places, dark clothing become resting and hiding places.
I sleep under an overhead fan. Mosquitos can't navigate too well in wind.

The Sakon Beast dies on the road
The Sakon FC beast died on it's way to Yasothon last week. Players and staff made it to the game on time hitching rides. Anton offered five players a ride back to Sakon Nakhon.
Wonder if anyone from owners and staff noticed. A thank you should be in order.
Sakon FC next hosts Chaiyaphum, June 15
It will be interesting to see if the beast will be revived by June 23 when Sakon FC travels to Nongbualamphu

Sakon FC wins at Yasothon 2-1
Detoured by way of MukdahanPlenty of vendors at the waterfront shopping area, hardly any shoppers.
The side trip through Mukdahan was quite disappointing.
Hoped to buy some bread rolls, came away empty handed.
Arriving in Yasothon we lucked out in finding an excellent eatery:
Steak Yasothon.
Food was great, the place was very clean. Seems to be visited by local expats in the area.
After lunch we headed to the football stadium.
Our luck had apparently 'gone south.'
Start time had again been changed from 5 pm to 4 pm.
When we arrived the game was well under way.
Only enjoyable part of our arrival were some loud cheers...
Sakon Nakhon had just scored

Moments before halftime Yasothon evened the score

The lectures during half time seemed to have had the desired effect.
Bang Fai Celebrations in the distance added to the victory celebrations
