The odds are not favorable, but then we can pray for a miracle

Sakon Nakhon FC had a bad season last year and from recent performances 2019 is not looking much better.

The team rankings are off kilter as some teams have played 8 games, other teams only played 6 or 7 games.  It's due to a poorly designed season schedule.  Three games are scheduled today.

Most likely Sakon FC should be second from the bottom of this list .

		1	Loei City, UTD	7	7	0	0
2	Huai Thalaeng UTD	7	4	2	1

Next week Sakon FC hosts Nakhon Ratchasima, Huai Thalaeng United.  

The odds are not favorable, but then we can pray for a miracle

Most likely another week with "intermittent scattered" thundershowers and high winds.
The early stage of the rainy season is expected to arrive during the third week of May with daily rains forecast.
We will have some rains before that, but not on a daily basis.

It was the last of the original movie theaters in Sakon Nakhon, most likely built in the 1960's according to a 2009 blog entry by  "The Southeast Asia Movie Theater Project."   The theater had not been used to show movies in at least the past two decades.

It had recently been used as a fertilizer warehouse
