large air dome with over 300 booths

May 9-15 One of those announcements with a very short fuse. Public announcement was made yesterday, May 7, starts tomorrow may 9. Located at the Provincial Headquarters. There has to be a hell of a lot of activity today to get the show on the road by tomorrow.  300 boths may be a bit of an exaggeration

The last Mango

Third year tree produced 40 to 50 mangos. Once I said OK they disappeared in a week. Did plant two more trees last year, so I'm hoping for a bountiful harvest next year. Like the green ones in a salad. Flags on top of the page indicate the top ten visiting countries this week.  This changes occasionally and does indicate where the tourism interest is coming from

Bang Fai weekend in Phang Khong (50 km west of Sakon City)
After yesterday's Nong Bua Lamphu win, Sakon Nakhon changed positions with that team from 12th to 13th. A win today against Loi City is what's needed. The difference in wins and draws is not that far apart between the two teams Most weather forecasters are saying the rain will stop just before gametime.  There's a couple who say light rain during the game.
