Sakon Nakhon Dusit Hotel FOR SALE

Let's just say, was a bit surprised to see that. Stayed in the hotel for a few weeks when I first came to town in 2003. Always enjoyed the restaurant, but had not visited in a few years

Proceed with caution

Recent economic headlines have not been very promising. 
Rice sales dow, competition up, tourism down, factory production down.
The IMF article suggests the Thai government is planning to spend more money to stimulate the economy
Not mentioned in the article I've noticed a hefty increase of prices at the grocery stores

Detour

 
 
Instead of copying a photo, then loading the ocr web page to extract the text, then translate the text, I'm using translator on my iPhone. It translates text in pictures and comes in very handy when looking at a Thai menu.  
Then of course you have to understand 'TINGLISH.' 
In this case 'cook the traffic surface.'

Even though the photo indicates a main road, the text seems to indicate the walking streets around the main temple. High time for that road, been bumpy since they dug up the roads for underground wiring, also seems like till pending.

Microplastics Have Made Their Way Into Penises. What Can We Do To Avoid ...

It's obviously an attention grabbing headline by Business Insider. 
It does have some valid points. 

I avoid microwaving plastic containers, use glass. Stopped using baking paper  because the silicone  coating is just as hazardous.  
Even canned drinks, the cans are lined to prevent rusting. Probably it's best to avoid hot foods and drinks in plastic containers.

Pope's net worth at the time of his death. ðŸ˜ēðŸ˜ē

There have been seven popes during my lifetime (80), with the eighth pending. 
The shortest popehood in my lifetime was 33 days for John Paul I — Aug. 26-Sept. 28, 1978.

2024 - 2025 REVO League Season ends Sunday, April 27 and Wednesday, April 30

Also known as Thai League 1 and T1, the league has 16 teams. Buriram United in first place with 67 points could be toppled during the final games by Bangkok United which has 66 points.
It's possible, but unlikely.
A few of the games may turn out in very lopsided scores.
