The prices had already been in effect for a while ...


The matter made a reappearance in the headlines, when locals complained that they were losing money. "less paying customers."
Some of these at one time pristine islands and parks have been overrun with tourist, creating a daylong rush hour traffic. Pristine areas are getting trampled and trashed.  It's all a result of mass tourism.   
There's also insufficient infrastructure. Where there's trash, there have to be trash cans.
There are some parks which are not on my wish list. If I'm going to pay a higher price, then I just want to make sure it's worth it. 






Water is flowing

The areas canals don't operate year round. Generally starts in March, ends at different times.  Most likely dependent on supply on hand.
Canals are very popular for swimming

The walls to the canal are quite steep, the water travels quite fast, ropes can be rented and can be used to avoid traveling down stream or to climb out of the canal.
Inner tube rentals are  available



March 6, 2017  are operational



April 4, 2013 the sluice gate was already shut down

Sakon Nakhon FC and Surin United  are neck on neck, two losses and two draws.  
Things ain't gonna get any easier anytime soon.

Win, lose, or draw, this Saturday's game should be exciting.  


There may be some rain between now and Saturday. By game time temperatures are gonna be HOT. If you sit in the cheering section, bring protection UV  11 (Extreme)

Sakon Nakhon FC on their way home after a draw game

It's somewhat of an accomplishment, considering that Huai Thalaeng  had won its first three games and had been number one in the league, and they had home field advantage.   
Sakon Nakhon FC next hosts Sisaket this Saturday.  Before this weekend Sisaket was number two in the league with two wins and one Draw
