190706 Been open a few years, now the sign


สกลนคร Sakon Nakhon

Mostly hot and humid week ahead

Not much rain in the forecast. 
An occasional thunderstorm here and there. 
Wednesday may be the wettest day of the week.

That recent tropical storm, Mum, brought some heavy rain one day, light rain for another day. It was pushed North by a southwesterly system. 

Weather direction for the time being seems to be from the southwest, mostly hot and humid. BBC and TMD list regular temperatures and do not account for 70% humidity most days

Midseason Changes at the FC

I must say: I sure hope management knows what they are doing
The departed

There are a few other apparent departures which I have not yet verified

Six new team members announced by the team. Saw most do their stuff at the Sisaket game.
Wont say who impressed me the most. Decide for yourself this Sunday, July 7 at the Sakon provincial stadium on airport road

They all want to visit during the rainy season

Keep ants and roaches at bay with talc powder, mosquitoes with smoke. 

Some crawly things the birds take care of.

Spiders and frogs are beneficial outdoors, I prefer not to have them as roommates.

Also prefer to keep neighbors pets at a distance. Most are not well maintained and may carry a large array of unwanted bugs

Street decoration

I wonder what the reasoning for this is.
Tourism enhancement? Somebody important coming to town?

190630 Sakon FC 0 at Sisaket 1

There's been some major changes in the Sakon Nakhon FC lineup.
No formal introduction, just some new faces


Sakon had an early goal, but that was ruled off sides. That ruling is frequently misused when a player decides he has no chance unless he 'stops on a dime' and let's the opponent run off sides.

Have to say the refereeing was nearly flawless.

Very Thai!! Sisaket fans all arrived late. As seen here in the background during the opening ceremony
Larger crowds were at hand later in the game



Sisaket remains fourth in the league
Sakon Nakhon remains tenth in the league

The big challenge comes next Sunday 7 July, when Sakon FC hosts the "Number Two" in the league Khonkaenmordindang FC
