Went down to the waterfront to check out the water level. It's going down.



Saw a couple releasing some birds. One flew away, a second one did not make it.   
Suspect we'll be seeing plenty walkways in another month or two

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.

     Response: 

  • Too much Football Lately 

Football is one of those subjects with the highest readership, attracting Thai visits.
Local football is a major social interest of mine as many of these players are from my neighborhood. Football had also become a way for me to travel to away games, see more of Thailand 
At the moment there are major developments in Thai Football. Hot news for the moment, expect things to moderate shortly

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
