Sakon Nakhon Lion 1 Sisaket United 1
There were some exciting moments, many near misses. Both goal keepers were kept busy. More so the Sakon Nakhon goal keeper.
Refereeing was nearly flawless, something you don't see all that often in this league.
It all happened 15 minutes into the second half.
Sakon Nakhon had a goal.
The fans came alive with joyful cheer.
The Victory was short-lived. Sisaket scored a goal within two minutes, after the Sakon goal, to a unified groan from fans.
Not many fans on the other side of the stadium, obviously due to lack of shade.
There were some ingenious fans with cardboard mannequins who I recognized from my neighborhood
This year has to be the worst start for Sakon Nakhon. Looking back, Sakon Nakhon has not done all that great.

June 1958, I was thirteen.
American television (Black and white then) was my second language teacher. I remember "77 Sunset Strip" and "The FBI"
and Now

Phang Khon BangFai a traffic nightmare
I was invited to a neighbors wedding. I did not realize it was 100 km away. But that's another story.
We had to travel through Phang Khon.
Usually driving through Phang Khon is a matter of a few minutes, not so during this Bang Fai.
It resembled more a citywide street party.
Entertainment stages were set up along the highway through town. Traffic was at a crawl. Took 20 minutes to get to the first traffic light. What made matters even worse was that some drivers created a third lane and had to merge back to two lanes.
And of course plenty of 'intoxicated' pedestrians impeding traffic.
One lone police officer per intersection, they had a hell of an ordeal, especially when drivers ignored them.
Then there was the detour of two way traffic on a one lane road.
We had left an hour early, but lost that hour going through Phang Khon.
Pictures taken through the windshield
Today is the final day of that street party. If you're going there, park your car and walk through town. It's faster
