Sakon Nakhon Office of Tourism and Sports goes online - let's see how this develops

Don't hit that American Flag button just yet.  You'll get a fatal error page.  Use your browser right click feature to translate. The website appears to be  in development stage. Places to see has a photo gallery.  Some April events are listed. That total visitor count at the bottom of the page seems unrealistic. Picture is link to the page

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.
