Two Nights in Buriram and then some shopping in Surin



It was a five hour drive and we arrived in Buriram at noon.  Lunch at the Swan was quite pleasant.  After the long trip and a great meal I took an extended afternoon nap.  I wanted to be primed for the evening action. 
Bar hopping was cancelled by a decission to attend a Buriram pro league  football game.  I hadn't been to a pro league game in over a decade. It's been that long since Sakon Nakhon was in the pro league.
The game was fun and exciting, but it's not something I'd do on a regular basis. The seats were narrow and so were the isles.  No drinks allowed in the stands.  Not even water.
Today's afternoon Sakon Nakhon FC game is at a different stadium, I'm hoping for a more relaxed atmosphere.  I know it wont be this crowded.

Rain possibly Saturday afternoon,
more likely Sunday


It's summer in Pattaya

Sakon Nakhon

Disney Sea World Thailand maybe


The answer is YES :: There will be the
2007 Royal Longboat Regatta
and Wax Castle Festival

Of course it's been a question on my mind.   
Many events had been cancelled or 'scaled back' in honor of HRH the king, who had passed away in October of last year.
That's the Sakon Nakhon Municipal (City) page on facebook

Wait till all the facts are known

Media is always in a rush to be first with a news story.  Makes common sense to wait a while till all the facts are known

 Six Thai rangers killed in ambush in restive south,  - The Straits Times
