U15 Sakon FC 1 - - Nong Kai 0

One thing which has become somewhat obvious to me, younger players seem more aggressive and more prone to injuries than their seasoned semi- and professional counterparts.

It also makes for a fast paced game. 

This was the first win of the season for the team. Now what they've had the taste of a win, there could be MORE.

Trip around the lake

The blue line is not totally accurate, as it does not follow any existing roads in some locations.  

Did have to do a bit of backtracking because roads were not always properly marked at intersections.  After a few miles down the road I checked my mobile map to see if I was on the right track

Wat Yot Lam at Na Kaeo
I did not plan the trip with sights to see in mind.  I missed seeing a few temples and even a church.

Most of the roads were in good condition.  A few places were under construction, a few minor potholes here and there.

Blog Update

Added a page ⚽ Sakon FC :: U15 and U19 2018-2019

Keeping track of the games takes a bit of searching on a daily basis.
There's no seasonal schedule, games are generally made public by midweek for games on the following weekend.
The last time I looked the games played roster was not updated sine the second game.

This weekend the U15 have a home game on Saturday, the U19 team is on the road in Roi Et.

Added a slideshow to the sidebar entitled  Recent Albums. Each page provides a link to an album.  It's a work in progress and hope to add a few pages daily. I am hoping to complete last year within 2 months and post all new albums as they are published

Also have to do some work on replacing flash images. Chrome already blocks them. more will follow.

AFC ASIAN CUP Thailand vs Bahrain

After loosing the first game 1-4 to India, and the firing of  Coach  Milovan Rajevac, and the replacement by Sirisak Yodyardthai, I'm not holding great hopes for this game

televised   17:50 

I may be all wrong, and that would be nice if...

Temple fair starts this weekend

Cruised by the waterfront. Surprised to see longboats on shore. It's not racing season.

Jicama roots for sale. They are healthy.  I often add them to a stew.  It's also used in salads. 

Checked out the water level.  It will be interesting what the water level will look like in April. The area is growing and so is water consumption.

In and around the temple preparations are under way for the fair which begins this weekend

Official Translation (in part)

"... police order 0029.173/Wor 4950 - titled  ‘Supporting evidence of income for visa extension in case of family members and retirement’.

I wonder whether the order needs to be published in the Gazette to become official, since this is not really a change in law, but rather a change in procedure. Time will tell.

Rumor has it there were some embassy letters with falsified information, and these may be the people departing Thailand.
