This uninvited guest is moving at a snail's pace

The eye of the present storm is moving north of us, along the Lao border, and is about to cause some problems in northern Thailand.

6:30 am 17 July 2017
6:30 am 16 July 2017
The peak of the rainy season in this area is when weather patterns shift and weather arrives from the east.  Expect real feel temperatures to rise slightly daily, starting with a low 30's and ending next sunday in the low 40's.

 Experienced two power outages this morning, both lasted about half an hour, one at 3 am another at 6am.  Some worldwide websites are unreachable at the moment. USTVNOW, BBC weather, NOOA are a few of my dailies I'm unable to reach. 
Expect further power outages, have battery devices charged and at hand.

One step forward, two steps backward




The best performance by both teams. So many near misses. Action was constant and intense. I left the game a bit disappointed because of the loss, but not disappointed  by the action I just witnessed.
A final game of the season this Wednesday.  This must be a win

Swamp Football, bring a raincoat just in case


A brief moment of glory.
With three games played Saturday, Sakon Nakhon FC lost the third place position to Loei United.

A win today is a must to regain third place.
Don't underestimate Buriram. They've improved quite a bit from their not so great start of the season.

Nearing the 1 million mark
