Community Hospital


Many times had wondered what function the building at the south end of the football field served. It's a community hospital as I found out. Went there to have my  wound dressings changed.

Sakon Nakhon's Royal visit


Decorations went up last wednesday, with talk of a royal visit.
When I went to the adjacent clinic this morning security was tight around the school grounds. I was there to get my bandages changed.   
There was a temporary pause in my treatment, most likely as everyone rushed to the window to watch.  Treatment completed I left the clinic and observed five helicopters on the football field.  I was told that the princess was here to dedicate a new library

Recuperating once again

Taking a few days away from blogging in order to recuperate from yesterdays motorcycle accident.
Was at Colin's yesterday where I enjoyed a new item of his,  a spicy pizza.  I left there after a few hours and was headed to the Schack.
On my way there I wound up in a groove running alongside the highway and the shoulder.  I lost control of the bike  and spent the rest of the evening at the hospital getting patched up and some stitches above my left eye
