The east access road to the Sakon Nakhon waterfront is now a dirt road. Asphalt has been removed from the two lane road. Paving of a new four lane boulevard should begin soon The lake water level continues to recede. This may be the year of the lowest water level of the lake in aa least a decade, if there is no measurable rain before the rainy season begins in mid May

Meals for all tastes

From the time we left Sakon Nakhon I noticed clouds and dust covering the skies throughout the country.  The sun seemed to be filtered, if not by clouds, then it was smog.  Anything past a couple of miles of visibility was just grey The polarizing sunglasses seemed to add some color to the otherwise grey skies In hindsight I would have been better off flying from Bangkok to Buriram. Would have been faster and less expensive than hiring a car. Unknown to me until the last moment, a friend was invited by the driver to accompany us since he lived in Buriram. That turned out to be a two hour detour.  We were promised a bbq chicken dinner upon arrival in a village were not everyone had electricity. Let's just say it was not chicken. With it's head on it looked like a rather small dog.  No, no, not dog! Cat? NO! It's not rabbit. Never did find out what was offered. I was not hungry anymore and was ready to leave. Later the suggestion was made that it was a rat. They tend to look like small dogs.    We did stop along the highway for a meal more to my taste and at a very reasonable price. Four course meal for four, drinks 460 Baht (US$12)
