I got some happy smiles for my money

Those people who make a living going through the trash before the trash truck arrives.  They make their living collecting recyclables.  I have seen a few actually earning a good living at it, but most barely survive.   
Down the street from my house, a couple kids, don't think they were teenagers yet, where sorting their bounty.  Cardboard, paper, plastic, glass, etc.   
It was evening, nearly dark.  The picture is not very good, but you get the idea

I donated 200 baht and got some very happy smiles for my money

Let's wait and see what the Thai banks say Wednesday

Thai Banks have stopped updating baht exchange rates due to the holidays that started on May 1. On April 30 Bank of Thailand valued the baht at US$ .327
Current websites are valuing it at US$ .3319

Mukdahan FC 3, Sakon Nakhon FC 0

First half ended scoreless. 
Sakon Nakhon seemed to have possession of the ball more than Mukdahan.  Near misses on both sides




Sakon Nakhon missed to score on a 11 meter free kick during the first half.  Mukdahan did good on their free kick, which really was not deserved

The score seemed to take the steam out of the Sakon Nakhon players, as further goals by Mukdahan followed


 






Sakon Nakhon FC next travels to Loei City, on Sunday May 10. Loei FC is number one in the league.
The odds for a win should improve on Saturday May 16, when Sakon Nakhon hosts Nong Kai
