Mildest cool season in my recollection


You don't need to look at a crystal ball to conclude that the 2023-2024 cold season is probably the mildest cold season in a couple decades
There will probably be a few cooler days, but night time temperatures are expected to not dip below 14 or 15.

El Niño is expected to continue to affect Thailand with drought conditions, impacting all crops.  The start of the rainy season could be delayed.

Global warming is being accused to make 2024 the hottest year on record.
Will be interesting to note how low the waterlevel may get on the local lake

Walking street cables going underground

Truckloads of underground cables arrived some months ago, so it was no surprise to see detours around the north end of road leading to Wat Phra That Choeng Chum  

Expect rodside turmoil and detours as overhead cabeling is replaced with underground cabeling on the street which morphs into walking street on weekends and some holidays

Rumors Gone Wild


It's had a few name changes over the years. 
I first knew it as Esarn Kitchen, then Champions. 

After an almost three year closure, spiderwebs have been cleaned, someone spotted floors being moped (Sunday). You can see the property had a bit of a renovation. 
 
Information is "very tight lipped," according to a number of persons. Tiger bar?
