Isaan Entertainment: Where is this?

Yes, we can climb the hills and get a good view of Laos and Cambodia and then make our dash to freedom whilst the ladies are in Ubon town stocking up on useless items. There is less to purchase, in one of those two countries, so our new...forget this.

Anyone could have made that error in regard to Phu Prabat, and I am certain my good friend would have forgotten the miscue in about 5 years. Wait, women never forget do they? Last year, I got one of these....'remember two and a half years ago in the morning of December 12 at ten in the morning when you said'....the result of this one-sided exchange was a seven hour marathon at the Fairy Plaza in Khon Kaen. Or was it? Maybe it was at MBK in Bangkok. I will have to ask the expert, "she who never forgets a word I say that upsets her".

Khun Paul might find there are less drawbacks to disturb his mind about Thai wives on those sides of the border too.

They would hunt us down like the dogs we are. And you would miss your Jintara Poonlap, Me and Tai Oratai CDs (cos you won't be able to listen to capitalist pop music in Laos) and then you'd get homesick for the North American blizzards.

Yes, the ladies would hunt us down like dogs and then we would be cowed into purchasing truckloads of useless material things that Buddhists are supposed to avoid.

It is true that one gets attached to those -20 degree temperatures with high winds in January and February.

An interesting point is that half of the subscribers to my youtube channel are Lao, and they 'claim' Isaan singers, Jintara and Tai as their own.

One of them went a bit overboard, and by the end of the comments on a video was claiming Isaan for a greater Lao nation. First, he began arguing that the Thais stole the Phra Kaeo (the emerald Buddha) from the Viang Chan (Vientiane) kingdom, and then pronounced that the recent yellow/red shirt, economic troubles in Thailand can all be linked to the taking of this Buddha image. He concluded by hoping the Isaan people will rise up and join Laos.

I did not want to provoke him too much in case he gives my Jintara and Tai videos a low rating, but I did point out that the image was first in Chiang Mai and then the Lao Luang Phrabang King took it to his home capital so that the image rightly belongs to the old Kingdom of Lanna. He has not contacted me since. In fact, he thought that I was Isaan Thai until I told him that I was a old Canadian guy with a passion for Thai/Isaan music and a lady who forgets nothing I say, and punishes me accordingly.

I cannot see the post I made about the rice farmers, where did it go if not to one of the outer gas giant planets?

Well, when I click on your link, there it is like magic; however, it is not on this front page of udonmap. And, it still is not there. This thread is here, but not the rice thread.

My head hurts thinking about this weighty problem. It is time to listen to some Isaan music, and to plan the great Isaan uprising to join Laos to achieve peace, prosperity and happiness.
