The more the merrier, but I forgot to mention that for me, the next trip probably wont be till next year unless a small windfall comes my way

Bummer I was hoping to meet you and the Mrs.Butcher

Well like I said, there is still a chance for me to win the lottery before october, so i'll keep me fingers crossed, if not though, i'm sure we'll be able to fix another date up next year

I am hoping this year will be a good one as last year was a very poor showing.

Oh no could the floods on the Mekong hurt the chances of the show this year

No chance of the Mekong flooding at that time but you still get some big storms,one of which washed out the festival a couple of years ago.What a mud bath.

Just firing up is thread again to remind any others wanting to brave this event. I know I'm hell bent to go see this

Don't get too excited.

You need some patience while you are waiting for them to appear.You'll know when the first one goes up cos the crowd on the riverbank goes nuts.

The good thing is that they appear in two's and three's so follow where the crowd is looking and you will catch the second or third one.

Well if my 6 numbers come up in the next few saturday's i will happily pay for the lot of you to travel up and stay in luxury, it's a mighty big if though

BB. That sounds like a fair shout, so i will do similar.
There, that has halved in odds of it happening in one go. If we can just find a way of halving the odds about 500,000 times more then we are on to a winner...

Hmm, time for a syndicate maybe

, would be tricky to run with 000's of miles between the members though....ah well better just keep me fingers crossed for next week.

Chok Dee with yours Bob

Post by **BobHelm** » September 19, 2005, 12:26 am

Thanks BB. If it is the 6 then I will see you at Heathrow....mind you 3 would almost convince me to go at the moment...

The local Thais like the number 9 and the Chinese 7 and 8 so try a mixture of those three numbers.Good luck.

Post by **Thai_1_On** » September 19, 2005, 11:22 am

Hmmm speaking of mixtures another thing I will be doing is getting with my wife's uncle to build my own bung fai rocket

I know I missed the party in Yasothon but I could get some good practice in building and mixing my own gunpower with Lum Compon looking on

Talking of rockets,you do get children running around with them at the festival so it does pay to be alert.

I'm going to fit right in

Post by **businessman** » September 20, 2005, 11:39 am

You will be able to spot me by the fact my children will be screaming blue murder as i wont let them throw the rockets around.

As for you,i guess i look for a yank with a big grin and a arm full of chang bottles containing lit rockets.
