To your health

My favorite variations:
  1.  2 Bananas plus 3 to 4 spoons canned sweetened condensed cream
  2.  2 Bananas, plus milk and honey 
  3.  2 Bananas, plus milk and chocolate drink mix
  4.  2 Bananas and ice and a shot or two of your favorite rum, vodka, brandy, schnapps etc.

The potassium and magnesium in bananas may help protect you from muscle cramps at night and during workouts. Bananas are rich in pectin, a soluble dietary fiber and natural detoxifying agent, great for digestion. Banana fiber contains prebiotics that encourages the growth of healthy bacteria in the bowel

TAT short fuse

With less than three weeks till the Wax Castle festival, TAT just posted the event on their website. That's fine if you are still in the planning stage of your trip. Unfortunately many tourists spend more that three weeks in deciding on their itinerary.  
Sakon Nakhon Wax Castle Festival 2017
Other events in major tourist destinations get up to year long advance notice. Local TAT office seems to be sleeping at the controls.
