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.

Sakon Nakhon

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
