Finding places is getting easier

I've found google maps quite helpful and getting better.  Here I've made a three page sample of how to find hotels. You can of course alter the search parameters to your own needs, enter a different location. Instead of hotels try searching for banks, dentists, restaurants, pretty much anything

Most of the Sakon Province rain has been in northerly districts

Most of the flooding within Sakon Nakhon province is related to the songkhram river.  The river forms the provincial border with Udon, Nong Khai, Bueng Kan, and Nakhon Phanom provinces. Songkhram River is a tributary of the Mekong River. It originates in the hills between Nong Han District, Udon Thani Province and Sawang Daen Din District, Sakon Nakhon Province. It flows through Seka District (Nong Khai Province), Wanon Niwat (Sakon Nakhon Province), and Si Songkhram District and empties into the Mekong River in tambon Chai Buri, Tha Uthen District, Nakhon Phanom Province. It is 420 kilometres (260 mi) wikipedia
