Next Sakon City Fair starts in 2 weeks

The temple fair at Phra That Choeng Chum ends tonight.

In two weeks Sakon Nakhon Red Cross fair begins on January 16.

No details of events have been publicized to date. The Fair generally last 10 days
Update: January 16 through 25
One of the biggest failures of Thai tourism continues to be the timely dissemination of information concerning public events.  Tourists, especially foreigners, generally plan their itinerary weeks and months in advance.  Most public events reoccur every year and are planned months in advance. Many events are not publicized until days before they are to take place.
One way to improve Thai tourism is to provide more options than the obvious major festivals in major tourist destinations.
I have frequently stumbled upon public festivals and celebrations purely by accident and not by advance notice.

Odds of Cancer

“But the researchers say lifestyle choices such as avoiding smoking, eating healthily and  staying out of the sun  will help to prevent certain cancers, just not all of them.”
