Sakon Nakhon's best kept secret

I know it happens every year around mid November, the Phu Phan Cup. I've been searching for weeks, everyone I asked gave me a blank stare, even people in local media  Still have no idea when and where the games are held. 
The video filmed November 17 indicates the trophy has arrived and the games are under way.  The final game is the one not to miss, great halftime show and plenty pomp


Don't bother checking the Tourism Thailand Sakon Nakhon Province Page,  been under construction for a number of years

Sweater Weather is here

According to some media sources the cool temperatures in northern and northeast Thailand should translate to a boon to tourism.   
This evening's temperature at my house is 21C (6pm).  Wind is arriving from the east-north east at 11 km.  Winds are expected to pick up to 18 km with gusts up to 35 km, dropping the overnight feels like temperature well below 20.  Mountain overnight temperatures 11-14C.
TMD is forecasting lows to reach 17C for a few nights this week.  Daytime temperatures are still expected to reach low 30's, without the high humidity which usually adds to the feels like temperatures.
