Democratic debate, 9 am (BKK time) Sunday, Nov 15 on CBS

I imagine after the Paris attacks they are scrambling to rewrite the questions


Friday's terrorist attacks in Paris will alter Saturday's Democratic debate, and maybe a race so far defined by social and economic issues.

More bearable weather after Loi Krathong in Sakon Nakhon




Most weather services indicate rain today, then a few cloudy days  
Others bet that we are going to see rain thru Tuesday.  

Everyone seems to agree that it continues to be unseasonably warm. 
Right around Loi Krathong (Nov 24) a drop of the humidity should become noticeable.

Night time temperatures are expected to be in the upper teens C,


while daytime temperatures will drop to the mid twenties C as the weekend approaches

Sport Day Parade



As usual I heard the drum beat and knew a parade was nearby.
It had been March 2014 when I last heard the drumbeat.

WIll Thai Air Survive, the struggle has been going for some time

Tourism No Boon for Thai Air  
as Rescue Plan Rejected Amid Loss


Thailand 4 Taiwan 2

According to some online reports the game was sold out.
Look at the video, see for yourself.

Thailand had possession of the ball quite a bit more than Taiwan.
At one time 70% appeared on my tv screen

Thrilling and exiting, fast paced action.
By halftime the teams were tied 1-1.  Obviously the second half was even more exciting.

What I considered a serious violation by a Taiwan player, grabbing his opponent by the neck, was either overlooked by the referee, or not considered a game violation.
