Cool season ends. Heat rises

It's best to keep your head covered outdoors to avoid scalp and hair injuries. 

A well known fact: "heat rises."  That includes body heat. 

 

A damp towel on your head may look silly and odd yet provides sun protection, while the moisture helps cool the 'feels like temperature.'

 I buy these towels frequently when traveling.  Use them for years as kitchen and household towels.

Khon Kaen is sitting this weekend out

Even though 10th Yasothon lags behind 9th Sakon Nakhon FC, they could well overtake Sakon. 

Yasothon has played two less games and has an opportunity to overtake Sakon Nakhon.

Isan Potato Cool Season Harvest

The cool season in Isan allows growing some vegetables which are not native to the area, nor would they survive through Thailand's hot and rainy season.

The cool season normally runs from November thru February

Where's the cameras

Thailand slipped in the standings of best places to retire, used to be in the top ten, now it's eleven. 

Also slipped a bit in the corruption index. I'm not a big believer in these reports. I always look at accompanying advertisement.

Thailand may slip a bit more statistically in the near future. There's a discussion of raising minimum wage. It would be a huge increase, somewhere around 40 to 50%. Every time that happens prices go up. 

 

Changes to traffic laws are expected around midyear. Big push is on after a recent accident in a crosswalk where a doctor was killed by a speeding motorcycle.  Pictures on social media seem show a nationwide push to repaint crosswalks.

A few places around town are posting speed limits with pictures of speed cameras. I slowed to the posted speed limit and vehicles passed me estimated 20 to 30 km over the posted speed limit.

On the net I get the occasional 'forbidden' because of my Thai IP address.  A VPN solves that. Find that with news outlets in the US and Europe.  Thailand still seems to have a 'reputation.'  I even have to use a VPN when I want to visit German orphanage  where I spent a few years in.

If you have a corruption complaint, think twice. Even if true and documented you can still be sued for defamation.  They can drag on for years.+

Sakon Nakhon FC from easy street to . . . Challenge ahead

All scores within the first twenty minutes of the game.  I really had expected a few more goals. A win against Surin Khongcheemoon FC was anticipated. 

The real Challenge for Sakon Nakhon FC is ahead this Wednesday on the road in Nakhon Ratchasima, a 400 km drive. Nakhon Ratchasima is in second place in the league
