Here is my contribution to the thread: http://sqdnguns.com/...d/thailand.html

These pictures were taken in November during a visit to my fiance's village, Lamduan, about a 15 minute motorbike ride from the Krasang train station. I am heading back there in February for good, tired off the business world!!  LOL

I know it's not from Isaan.  

But now it's 60 days until I go back to Isaan.  

Here is some reason why I can't wait to go.

From my house i Denmark the 22nd of february this year.

See what Issan is really like. Seeing is believing!



I just spent 2 weeks travelling Issan on a little Honda 100 (Korat to near
Cambodian boarder).
I met many fantastic people who welcomed me into their lives.
This little video clip shows what it is really like travelling on the road,
the Wats that you pass, a monk initiation ceremony, a primary school sports
day, somtum making, rice farming, fishing in a dam and village kids playing.

As I say, this is just a small clip and I'm new to all this. I just used a
small cannon digital camera on video clip mode.
I'm new to videos, new to web video, and new to this part of Thailand on a
motorcycle. (Taking videos whilst ridding a motorcycle one handed is also
new to me!)
Maybe the important thing for those of this NG who haven't had the chance to
travel Issan that can see what it's is really like.
Sorry if this is boring for you who actually live there.
Thanks to all the Thai people who welcomed me into theirs lives.
I hope you like my contribution.


========================================================================

Hi Maytin
Thank you for an really great reminder of why I long to return home to Surin,Issan.Your road trip was great and I will show it to all the sad b*****rds in the UK, who think N.E. Thailand is a horrible 3rd world country.Happy New Year and thanks once again.  

I empathise entirely with peter (and other posters) (tear and everything) I miss the place (Nong Khai) and my girlfriend     so much, it is good to see the photos and video.  

Can’t wait to get there and stay there (next year).

Thanks guys  

Steve

Great photos quemlum and from a local too, I'm stuck in Hertford at present  

[monsieurhappy]

I've got to disagree with your use of B&W. In this case the use of colour would have made your pics. far more interesting!  

[Guemlum]

Cheers Glenbat, are you in Hertford with the Missus? and Mr Happy, I'll see what I can do about posting some colour pics.

[Guemlum]

Well here they are again but in colour.

How many lakes are in Surin? I speak to my TG everyday and she doesn't understand what I mean about what a lake is or if there is a natural place in Surin to go  swimming. This lake that is spoken of in Surin, is this a place someone could fish in or is it just a lake for water usage? I look for maps detailing the rivers and lakes around Surin and have never found much of anything. I figured I would find out when I get there in 3 weeks.
Thanks for any replies,

Thanks guemlum, much more interesting IMO. I particularly like the one of the Naga (hope that's right) the colour makes it really stand out! Pity you didn't move that pile of bricks LOL!

[Guemlum]

[glenbat]

quemlum no I'm stuck in Herts with work, wanting to be 6000 miles East with a missus (preferably of Isaan origin   )

Love the use of B&W personally, really set the scene like you said timeless photos.. Could of been taken 50 years ago or yesterday love it

[Bicko]

Hey thommo46 I love your pics. I live near Lam Plai Mat and just  30 mins drive from Phanom Rung and Muang Tam. Can you please give me directions to get to the lake near NR (Korat).
Cheers,
Bicko
