Obviously this is a reflection of the education system in Thailand.
Teaching history ends at Thailand's borders. There are similar shortcomings in world geography.

The peak rainy season ahead:

" August "

We've had enough rains over the past month to cease all drought alerts in this region.
Ricecrops had been planted, greenfiels and water reservoirs everywhere.


Sakon Nakhon Driving

In recent years the number of cars on the roads has exploded.

My opion thousand fold since 2003.

Look in any parkinglot at major retailers in town, it's 95% new cars.

For most of these people it's their first car.  Before that they got around on

motorcycles.

Many inexperienced drivers on the road.  Road accidents are on the rise.

Tough Challenge Ahead for Sakon Nakhon FC

Wins agains Nakhon Phanom

Of course having been released from the hospital the day before, attending Sunday's game was just not in the cards for me.

According to the translation at Siam Sport, Nakhon Phanom scored just two minutes into the game.
By halftime Nakhon Phanom lead 2-0.
Sakon Nakhon came back strong during the second half, ending the game with a 3-2 win.

Sakon Nakhon FC remains in tenth place in the league of 16 teams.
They next host Roi Et, Saturday, July 20.
Roi Et FC is number one in the league.

OH CRAP!!

I had just recovered from dengue fever. I had not regained normal health and my immune system was still weak.

Today is the fourth day of severe diarrhea, including a few laundry 'accidents.'

After the second day I began using antibiotics to no avail.

Today I have switched to anti viral medicine.
Immediate relief, I can drink without puking. I've even had a bowl of rice soup without the urge to run to the throne room.

Will go to the hospital later today, since a hydration iv is probably a good idea at this point.

It's the rainy season

Weather continues to arrive from the north.

Plenty of clouds and occasional rain bursts in the coming days.

Sunshine by the weekend.
