Time to put on a party mood

Scheduling the Tao Ngoi festival may have been a bad choice.
In the past they had been near the end of September, when the rainy season was winding down.
Chance of light afternoon rain today most likely.

Been traveling the road to Tao Ngoi frequently over the years and have seen plenty changes

The parades are quite elaborate and extensive. This is not a small town parade.

The time and effort put into the displays are incredible. It's not thrown together on a weekend.

There's plenty activities for the next four days

Of course the illuminated barge parade is something not to be missed. Come early to find a good spot. This event gets quite crowded.

Tao Ngoi is a 20 minute drive from Sakon City. Take the highway passed global till you see a traffic light (picture), turn right. When the road ends in a T intersection, turn right

Expect hot action in the final season home games

The game had been a 1-1 tie through most of the time. The game was decided in the closing minutes with a Sisaket goal.

There remain two home games in the 2017 season

Sunday, 3 September, 16:00, Sakon FC hosts Loi City
Saturday, 9 September, 16:00, Sakon FC hosts Buriram B

Pos	Team	Pld	W	D	L	GF	GA	GD	Pts
4	Buriram United B	31	13	6	12	50	36	+14	45
5	Sakon Nakhon	31	13	5	13	41	39	+2	44
10	Loei City	31	7	10	14	47	63	−16	31

Considering past history and present team standings, the game this coming Sunday should be very winnable. Sakon FC won both previous encounters with Loi City, 2-1 in a home game, 2-0 in front of Loi City fans

The final game with Buriram B is going to be intense. BB is a new team this season. Early in the season Sakon FC beat BB on their own turf.

A home game mid season was a loss for Sakon Nakhon. Buriram B is a typical example of what teams can do when they have the bucks

Seven day weather outlook


As there are no major weather systems heading our way. No alerts required, I'll limit weather reports to weekly. Daily occasional rain showers, scattered, here and there. Mostly light, occasional heavy rains. Overnight feels like temperatures mid twenties, then climbing to upper twenties. Daytime high feels like high temperature climbing to a high on Saturday and Sunday. Feels like cools a bit Monday.
