The Sakon Nakhon Morning
. | - | There was a long period, almost a year, when the public address system had been silent. Recently it again became a daily morning broadcast. Starts off with Isan type music, sometimes as early as 5:30 am, generally at 6:30. Then comes the announcement, in Thai of course. At times there is a lengthy pause, then the speech continues. As if the announcer was looking for something more to say | - |
Many of these cats are inbred and have caused quite a bit damage in attics.
One of my neighbours had two simultaneous litters. All of which found new homes in the neighbourhood and are multiplying.

Sakon FC vs Mukdahan FC
Fight for the Bottom
Start of the game was delayed by close to half an hour.
At the start of the game there were more Sakon FC fans than Mukdahan fans.
Mukdahan fans sure were a lot more vocal, loud enough you'd think it was a sold out game.
It was a see-saw type of a game. Both teams seemed equal for most of the first half.
Sakon Nakhon scored first.
After Mukdahan evened the score it was very obvious that the tide had turned.

After Mukdahan evened the score it was very obvious that the tide had turned.
Both teams have had only one win, two draws, and seven losses. The only factor that Mukdahan stays at the bottom is the number of goals allowed.
Mukdahan 32, Sakon Nakhon 28
- Sakon FC Next hosts Kalasin FC, seventh in the league.
- The following week Sakon Plays at Loei FC, third in the league.
- During the final game of the first half of the season Sakon FC hosts Nakhon Phanom FC, fifth in the league.
Rules enforced in league football really stifle team spirit.
Fans are not allowed to use megaphones, musical instruments, excluding drums.
Obviously the team is in a serious situation.

Do I need a reminder at a Football Game
Soccer Jersey worn by Thai Teen
At first I thought it to be real INAPPROPRIATE (ไม่เหมาะสม)
because it made me think of things like this
On second thought that's old generation morality.
Durex is sponsoring teen football in Thailand, very appropriate. It will make some people blush

Visa Runners:
Three Times and you're stranded
The law has been around for years, you can only get three extensions on travel visas.
Apparently it hasn't been enforced uniformly.
A recent crackdown along the Cambodia border has now been expanded to all border crossings
