Sakon Nakhon FC hosts Roi Et FC

  this Saturday. Is there any hope?

History is not with Sakon Nakhon
April 21, 2013 Roi Et 4, Sakon 0
March 24, 2012 Roi Et 7, Sakon 1
July 22, 2012 Roi Et 4, Sakon 1
June 27, 2011 Roi Et 3, Sakon 1
May 30, 2010 Roi Et 2, Sakon 1
August 21, 2010 Roi Et 3, Sakon 0



It's my understanding that the Roi Et team will again furnish a bus for their fans, at a cost of 150 baht per fan.

Win or loose, these games (Sakon vs Roi Et) are always intense and exciting. Worth seeing

... forgive them,

   for they do not know what they do...

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.

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