Tigers in the freezer

What amazes me: 
With all the advance warnings the temple had, why didn't they clean up their act?. Dispose of the evidence?


BANGKOK (AP) — Thai police stopped a truck Thursday carrying two tiger skins and other animal parts as it was leaving a Buddhist temple where monks have been accused of being involved in illegal wildlife trafficking, a…

Relocating Tigers




"See You Again"

 by Wiz Khalifa & Charlie Puth

Sakon Airport was extremely crowded a couple days ago

Rainy season is tiptoeing through Esaan.


seven day forecast


A little here, a tinkle there, occasional T-storm (nothing serious, no alerts)
Increased chance of rain this weekend, then back to tiptoe weather.

There's still a mixed opinion as to the strength of the rainy season. From weak to extreme.




The rainy season gets in full swing around Wan Khao Phansa (Buddhist Lent Day).  This year it's July 20.  It's when the monks go into a temple retreat till the rainy season ends around mid October this year.  Heavy rains, if there are to be any will arrive from the east and northeast

Ten minutes into the game we suspected Kalasin was going to win this one

Right from the start Kalasin had a number of near misses.  They happened with such a frequency that the odds of scoring were obvious.
Ten minutes into the game 'A'  jokingly said: "we go home now."

Sakon FC wasn't slouches, the game was fast paced and riveting

160530 Papaya Smoothie

Have eight trees in my yard at various growth. 
Four are producing fruit at such a rate that I've been offering them to neighbors almost daily
Most Thais prefer papaya green (unripened) to use in a salad 'papaya pok pok.'

Since I have stomach acid problems I put the fruit in a blender and added some soda water.  Not necessary, but I add a bit of honey to improve the health benefits.

Now I am using water bottles to stock up on the smoothies.  Add shot or two of vodka to each bottle as a preservative and to avoid fermentation in the refrigerator.

Caution even though the fruit has many health benefits the fruit is not advised for people with latex allergies
