Sunday Options


สกลนคร Sakon Nakhon

No light switch needed


สกลนคร Sakon Nakhon
Totally captivated with these motion detector light bulbs. 
A bit pricey at nearly 300 baht. 
It's nice when you walk around the house, inside and outside. and you don't have to reach for a light switch.  
I'm using the ones that also have day/ night detectors. Won't go on during the daytime. At night it senses my reflection of the refrigerator, so the light comes on a few seconds before I enter the kitchen.



Outdoors they tend to notice  cats, dogs, butterflies and bushes bending in the wind

Great also for an outhouse.

Bought two yesterday, sales lady said: 'get one free' 

Driving in Thailand can be dangerous to your health

Sakon Nakhon OTOP Fair 2018
Now through Monday, Sep 24

Arrived at 6:02 pm, just a quick visit to check out "what's happening." Parking was easy for a motorcycle. People driving cars had to do a bit of hoofing.
Up close parking was reserved for 'ViP' and well guarded




I had arrived at the first speaker introduction.  Performers where at ready stage left






Quite an elaborate sound and light setup
