Thailand Inflation Hits 14-Month High - WSJ.com
Back in 2003 you could go to one of the local 'all you can eat restaurants' where they advertised 59 B prices.
These days it's around 139 B (or more). The biggest increase in cost of living occured when minimum wage was doubled a few years ago

Silly Tourist
Dazed and confused-
Swedish tourist loses hotel,
saved by police volunteers .phuketgazette
Oh for god's sake if you're in a hotel and want to take a walking tour, ask for a business card of the hotel, and maybe even a map.
I have to apologize, but reading of the man's plight made me giggle.
Leaving the hotel without sufficient pocket money, well I have done that too, but purely accidentally.
A standing ovation to:

A standing ovation to:
- "Local residents chipped in ..."
- Tourist police to the rescue.
OK so I really should not giggle. My first day in Sakon Nakhon I left my friends at a restaurant and went on a walking tour. I got lost for about an hour, but did finally find my way back to the restaurant. Friends weren't worried that I was lost. Apparently I walked past the restaurant seven times.

Little respite from the heat
Another hot week ahead. Temperatures in the upper thirties until Saturday.
Expect Tuesday to be the hottest day of the week reaching 38 (100F), with a feels like temperature at around 45 (113F).
Even though temperatures are expected to drop slightly next week (32), the lower temperature will hardly be noticeable, as it will still feel like in the mid 40's.

Silver Lining
Local media adhering to the present day law are scrambling for news that's fit to be broadcast.
Regional football seems to be a winner. Where there had been only one DV camera at games all season... the big boys have arrived.
It's only my opinion, but it seems that referees tend to do a better job when they know they are being recorded. Less bad calls.

And now an important public announcement
The public address system which had been silent for over a week was cranked up late this afternoon. Of course I was eager to hear what was so important. Even more surprising was the explanation given me. An announcement was made that there is an oversupply of shallots.
They are being sold for 7 Baht per kilo (US$0.10 per pound).
Nakhon Phanom FC at Sakon Nakhon FC
Saturday 4 pm
Nakhon Phanom is ninth, while Sakon Nakhon is 13.
Let's hope for an improved second season which starts June 29
