Two of the scary things in Thailand windows and balconies

It's an open window with nothing to hold you back from falling six floors. There's nothing between that cement wall and the window, which is less than knee high.
Similarly balcony rails are not much higher.  

Balcony deaths, whether accidental or intentionally, are quite common in Thailand. 

Lao PO Daeng boat races start Friday

Took a short round trip to Lao PO Daeng where they are having a boat racing festival this weekend. It's a twenty minute drive from Sakon City, down the road past Global. 

Along the way workers were cutting grass and weed along the road, others were sweeping as part of the preparations for increased traffic.

A good parking place is at the temple for a small fee

Turn left  near the red painted portal

You can walk through the shaded temple grounds to the rear exit, turn right and you're at the lake

In case you need it a medical emergency treatment center is on the highway about 2 km from the lake. Really great people there.

Three nights of concerts.
