Sakon Nakhon Expat Raymond William Scattini dead
Expect Rain Tuesday through Tuesday
Even though the Thai Meteorological Department has been issuing daily update alerts of the storms about to hit the area, I tend to think that it's not going to be another tree felling storm.
The department lists rainfall at 40% at it's height for two days, then dropping to 20%
The highest wind gusts forecast for the area are 23 to 25 km.

Weather update includes severe conditions for northeast
Up to now, severe conditions had been forecast for the north and central Thailand by TMD. As of this morning's update, the Northeast is included in gusty winds, thunderstorms and some hail. People should be aware of severe conditions. Thailand News, translated, even mentions "Beware of hurricane force winds. Keep away from trees and billboards." Other weather services have not indicated severe conditions, indicating occasional wind gusts at 24 km Tuesday and Wednesday. |

Sakon Nakhon Wax Castle Festival 2015
Most tourists plan their vacations months in advance. Unfortunately Thailand Tourism Agencies provide little help for such advance planning. The Wax Castle Festival is held according to the lunar calendar, and therefore is on different days every year. Traditionally the celebration is held during five days concluding with the October full moon. Based on tradition, I would suggest the 2015 Wax Castle Festival will be held from 23 to 27 October. There are a number of other events in nearby areas prior to the festival. If you can, come a few days early. Watch the wax craft and boat races.   2004 Full Moon Day Oct 28 2007 Full Moon Day Oct 26   2008 Full Moon Day Oct 14 2006 Full Moon Day Oct 4   2013 Full Moon Day Oct 19 2014 Full Moon Day Oct 8 |

Triping through my past
I'm consolidating pictures from three computers and internet postings: sorting and deleting duplicates, Sorting includes facial recognition. An average of 6,000 pictures per year for the past 15 years, since going digital. I've made a lot of friends, attended many public and private gatherings. I tend to frequently stare at pictures for extended periods and let my mind lead me on a trip through memory lane with a smile. A few of my album

Thai govt 'hopes' to see a weaker baht Reuters A weaker baht would help the Thai economy, exports, tourism, you name it. And I could once again have some major parties |
