Growing Tourism Potential

NOK Air recently initiated a fly n ride service to Sawang Daen Din, obviously recognizing the tourism potential. Sawang Daen Din is nearly the halfway city between Sakon Nakhon and Udon cities   The area is riddled with resorts and hotels.  More under construction Of course the most well known is Bird's Paradise Extreme Resort  with Air Sport (parachuting, gliding, flying), Jet Skiing, Motocross, etc. Besides plenty of resorts, there is little promotion of public events and activities.  Hopefully it's pending

Road safety begins with the vehicle

In all my years (12) dealing with Thai motorcycle and tire shops I have never seen anyone use one of these.  Tires are filled till it feels right.  99% of the time its overinflated. Feels like Flintstone rock tires.    Some say it's more fuel efficient, it's not.  Overinflated tires have less traction and tend to wear out quicker.    Recently had my motorcycle serviced. Felt like Fred Flintstone driving in Bedrock. Front 260 kPa               Rear 330 kPa Owner's manual recommends  Front 200 kPa               Rear 225 kPa

This Saturday, May 23, Sakon Nakhon FC hosts Ubon FC

will it be a slaughterfest ? Ubon Tigers are 8th in a league of 18 Sakon Nakhon Lions advanced this week  from 16th to 14th Win or lose, live action on the field always makes for a fun afternoon. How bad it will get depends more on the defensive plays.  Keep the scores to a minimum Gold background = homegames

Thailand is not a tourism scam monopoly, there's plenty all over the world

Learn how to play the safe tourism game  My own recollection:  Offered a free tuk tuk ride to a major mall. We were dropped off across the street at a gem shop and had to endure a sales pitch.  The following day another offer for a free ride, same place.  Upon arrival this time we departed the tuk tuk and crossed the street to the mall.  The driver stood there somewhat dumbfounded.   That was some twenty years ago.    Unless you know something of gemstones, don't buy from discount sellers Tuk-tuk, gems swindling suspects arrested | Bangkok Post: news
