Isaan Entertainment: Where is this?

No, this is not Jintara. It is Tai Oratai performing perhaps at the Phu Phrabat National Park.

I have been to the park but do not recognise this part of it.

Can anyone confirm whether this video was filmed at Phu Phrabat or not? The song is, 'Isaan Entertainment', and it was released on 25 June 2009.

Apparently so.

Solly can't confirm your question Tilo, but Fawn seems to know.....

She looks nice, great ears too as i like them, took a while to get going though (1.4minutes)...and the landscape resembles a distant planet, or something similar.
Nice song/tune.
Thanks.

Khun Fawn it is the stretch water that threw me off because I did not see it when visiting the park. But then the very good friend did not want to spend too much time walking around in the sun and the heat, so my visit was limited to about 45 minutes, a few photos, and a short walk.

Khun Beer Monkey, yes, the ears, you are an ear man, how could I forget?!?

Thanks you two, always a pleasure.

The location is not Phu Phrabat. We've been there a number of times and it is not like the landscape in the video. The wife thinks the video location may be near Ubon Ratchathani, possibly at the Mun river.

Thanks for the tip. The river in the vcd throw me off because I saw nothing like that in the limited area i visited at Phu Phrabat with my dear friend.

Now I am curious and want to visit this area as it looks interesting.

There are some other videos on this vcd that do look very similar to Phu Phrabat. I will upload them another time, and see what you and your wife think.

Yes, it MAY be Phataem in Ubon, a little up from the confluence of the Moon and Mekong rivers. Lovely views. The farms alongside the river, underneath the plateau/cliff, looked rather lush.(I was there recently for the Ubon Candle Festival, rather special too.) But it doesn't look QUITE the same as the place we and seemingly everybody made for, appreciating it might appear different at various times of year.

Whenever I view these videos of dancing ladies near the edge of cliffs, I swear one of them is going to fall off in her enthusiasm. :yikes:

Incidentally, one sign which caused me to giggle. Next to cliff edge - "No Poking" . Well, I've heard of 6 mile high clubs etc.but ......! Having a dictionary is one thing; knowing how to use it another! :lol:

Thanks Brian.

I have been googling Pha Taem and discovered there are three national parks in the area, which have unique rock formations and views of the Mun and/or Mekong rivers. So far, I have not seen any photos to be able to compare to the ones in the video.

But, the area sure looks interesting, and apparently one of the parks has perhaps the largest collection of petroglyphs in the world. It is worth a look.

Yes, I'm a silly old sausage. Good job Uncle Tilo wasn't Udon side or he'd be off up the road to Phu Prahbat in his Samlor Krung to go and pay homage to the site where the vdo was filmed.

Take a peek on here Tilo......

Yes and his 'Velly Good Friend' wouldn't be to chuffed to be dragged out to the wrong place either....!!

Yes, Seymour, the song was 'Moon River', and it is forever immortalised in the movie 'Breakfast with the Tiffany Boys'.

No, BM and Fawn, you have it all wrong about my very good friend. Oh, she would be peeved alright; however, it would be a perfect opportunity for her to demand that I must purchase eight or more new handbags in case the opportunity ever arose that she needed one of them sometime in the distant future.

In fact, one time in the Siam Square complex she went on a handbag purchase binge, at my expense of course. Finally, I made her succumb to the inevitable, and halt the spree at six. I made the mistake of asking her why she needed so many. The answer was, 'well, sometimes I just like to look at them'. I have not bought her a handbag since.

Last summer, she went on a flurry of buying shoes...why...same thing, 'nice to see'.

I hope she never gets a taste for diamonds, rubies and the like because they might be really, really nice to gaze at during the day and night.

Anyway, here is another video by Tai, and the scenery sure reminds me of Phu Phrabat National Park. I suppose it could be one of the three parks near Ubon too. Can anyone confirm that this is Ubon, and not Phu Phrabat?

By the way, Tai is from the Ubon area so it makes sense that she would film near her home.

Oh Khun BM, there are ears galore...enjoy. This one is called, 'Flirt First...and then...'.

by **Fawn** » July 20, 2009, 12:23 am

Oh, thank the Lord for that. 8-[

I had visions of pleading for mercy as your very good friend sharpened her Emasculator in the back yard. Never mind, I've been to Phu Prahbat a couple of times as well. Maybe I should reconnoitre Jangwat Ubon so I don't make the same mistake again.
