Was looking at a few booking sites for a specific hotel, then I found the hotel website and discovered they were offering the rooms for 100 to 200 baht cheaper than the booking sites.
Don't know if this is a standard practice, but I'll surely keep that in mind
Heavy thunderstorm early evening Tuesday, forecast 17mm. Late evening less to no rain. Thursday or friday we may see the tail end of Tropical Storm Son-Tinh. It expected to diminish to a tropical depression when it makes land in Vietnam.
It is that time of the rainy season when the weather arrives from the pacific ocean. It's a good time to make sure all your battery devices are charged
A couple photographers on the field, no credentials. They had obviously arrived with the opposing team. They only took pictures mostly of their own team. No problem.
I've been taking pictures of local and away games for close to 15 years. This time I was on the street which separates the field from the viewing stands. Two men in uniform told me I could not be there and to go and sit down. Hell yes I was 'upset at these provincial security guards. Asked for and received a press pass from the team representative, something they should have offered to me a decade ago.
As it turned out it wasn't these security guys doing. It was the new 'Suit' in charge. It became obvious when he next sent the security guards to the opposite side of the field on what turned out to be a 'wild goose chase.'
I've had great rapport with most 'Suits' in charge of football games. One even handed me a printouts of the starting lineup of the games. Never any discussion in regards to my moving around to take pictures.
These suits seem to change quite frequently and some like to flex their authority and they are not very polite about it: The Football Grinch at Mukdahan.
Never needed a pass at any away game. I'll take it with me to Yasothon next Sunday, but won't flash it unless confronted, which I doubt.
The Boar rescue story lives on, the other story they'd like you to forget. The lesson in both cases, pay attention to the weather forecasts when undertaking any outdoor activity
