WARNING: Don't swim alone in the canals

	Recently posted an article regarding swimming in local canals. Special emphasis needs be made regarding the hazards of canal swimming.This is rapid moving water. Stay near safety ropes. Swim with friends, there's no canal guard on duty.  Not recommended for non swimmers Probably the first canal casualty of the season.  The young man who drowned looks to be in his early twenties.

I'll be in the pool for the next few days, rain likely after midweek

Get wet and stand in front of a fan  Eat light meals, heavy meals increase body temperatures  Eat spicy food.  It makes you sweat without raising the body temperature  Wet towel or ice pack around your neck, or on top of your head  Ice water footbath  Place a wet towel over your fan, CAUTION make sure the water does not drip on the electric motor  Drink plenty of water  Rubbing alcohol has a short term cooling effect on your skin.  Visit airconditioned places

Close game no cigar. Sakon Nakhon 0 :: Sisaket 1

In the beginning action was back and forth, a bit boring at times. Yet there where many thrilling moments. Unfortunately they were all near misses by inches

Thailand today

I mentioned this some time ago, expect taxes to rise in many places, i.e. alcohol, tabaco, etc.	Government no like foreign media
They looked suspicious, so they were hauled off for a lecture	No height restrictions
Bus crashes are too frequently in Thailand	No meters, no taxes?

Most often get thumbs up and an occasional cop dancing in the street.

I've had a number of bluetooth speakers. None of them lasted for more than three month on my motorcycle. One with a weak handle lasted less than a week when it fell on the road.This one is the loudest and the handle is sturdy.  When it rains I hang a plastic bag upside down over it.The  control buttons are located within easy reach while driving. Of all speakers I've owned recently, this one was the cheapest, 550 Baht (US$ 15).

Weakening of the Thai Baht was predicted, dependent much on the strengthening of the US$

Don't stop now

After the Rain, while temperatures are still cool, it's a great time for a motorcycle road trip

Two days of tropical rains have added some water to the pond at Wat That Dum. The pond, which had been bone-dry, generally overflows during the rainy season. I've traveled these roads many times on a motorcycle, makes for tricky driving.  At times legs outstretched to keep balanced.  Destination Waterfront
