Container housing and shops

The building near the lake is progressing slowly, adding another floor.  Construction of a planned water park seems to be progressing at a snails pace.  First noted construction on 1 October.  Talk was that it would be operational by christmas.  Looks like  container shops going up there too.

Toyota Cup Sakon FC 2 Mukdahan 1

The song 'Another one  bites the dust' came to mind during the game.  The field had not been watered in some time and dust clouds  were seen throughout the game One play led to player anger which resulted in some shoving and fistecuff Both players should have been red carded but were admonished with yellow cards Some fanfare when the team displayed new drums for the cheerleaders A Sakon Nakhon win was anticipated from the outset.  Mukdahan had ended the 2015 season in last place in the Division 2 league.  Division 2 games remain suspended until further notice.  Toyota cup game schedule announcement is pending
