A few cool days, a few hot days, a few cool days...

Next two to three nights you can keep the fans on low.  You may even want to keep a light blanket handy.  After the weekend things should warm up a bit.  About mid week daytime temperatures are expected to get a bit warm.  Feels like temperatures near 40C (101F).

Too crowded for me

After the game we arrived back in the city shortly after 7 pm.  Traffic was diverted as the parade was in progress.  At home I took my motorcycle and headed for the waterfront. Walking at the waterfront for a few minutes, I decided the huge crowds, cars and motorbikes did not make for a pleasant evening out and headed home.

No matter what, Sakon Nakhon will win



Guess I'll have to put my ambitions to take pictures of the Loi Krathong festivities on hold till next year.   
Tonight it's the Phu Phan Cup for me Sakon Nakhon A (muang) vs Sakon Nakhon B (Sawang Daeng Din), 5 pm, airport field. 
It's the type of game I like: No matter what,
Sakon Nakhon will win

The lake has a reputation of being infested with liver flukes, which can cause a nasty infection known as opisthorchiasis
