Sakon Nakhon

Saturday, February 2, 2019

Just renewed my yearly visa and starting my 17th year in Sakon Nakhon. The process was a bit slower than usual. All officers had to step out for a photo opportunity which lasted a "Thai five minutes."

I did it successfully. Brown sugar works best, as it contains molasses. Regular bread yeast works fine. Think wine yeast works better. Don't overfill the liquid, allow for gas expansion
