Isaan Update 30.09.11

Well after today only 3 months left in the year and only 2 in the Buddhist liturgical year. October an November are 2 of my favorite months, not too hot, sort of, and plenty to do and see.
Isaan has more than 30 golf courses and I have mapped and visited most of them and will be talking about them in the next Isaan Live Podcasts.
So lets hope the rains abate and the sky clears.

Cheers
