Facebook seems to be the preferred social media in Thailand.
Sakon Nakhon expats tend to hang out at these facebook sites.

Also noticed a few social media postings by local football players.  

Yasothon and Ubon are having a friendly today. Facebook feed likely?

At the end of a decade, south end of town

By 10pm traffic seemed almost nonexistent.  Driving through the neighborhood I noticed many family parties.  A local bar which was overflowing the day before was barely at 50 percent. A few restaurants closed early.




A local road checkpoint was set up but not manned Monday or Tuesday evening.  It may have been different in other parts of the city.


Midnight fireworks seemed a lot less than in past years.  Within 20 minutes the night was silent.
I visited fiver neighborhood parties and was home before midnight.

Cooler temperatures later in the month and next month, comfortable for now
