Crocs and Sonkran

As you well now already, my brain is not connected quite right. I have always blamed it on the incident when I was about 3 years old, when I slipped on some wet grass and had the back of my skull whacked in. I still have the scar back there. Anyway, me and Nan where […]

April 29, 2007 | 3 Comments
Why am I awake at this hour on a Sunday morning? Well, of course it has to do with Nan. It would seem that Isan country folk, Nan included do not give a hoot about my traditional sunday sleep in. So today I received my usual wake-up SMS message from her, complete with I Love […]

A Busy Bee

That is what she is. During my stay in the village Nan was high and low from morning to evening. Always with something to do. I felt quite guilty at times sitting in the shade under the mango tree, drinking something handed over by Nan and generally being lazy. My single duties consisted of driving […]

Well, it looks like my plans to stay long term in Thailand is starting to fall into place. Me and Nan where talking a lot about it during my last trip. That is, I was in constant “yak-yak” mode, while a slightly amused Nan listened, asked a few questions here and there, and steered me […]

And today we would finally retake our old fortress that had been under siege for days now. I was carefully studying the sentries guarding the perimeter, while the rest of the patrol was busy […]

Strings had just been bound around mine and Nans wrists, and her entire family or so it seems was busily making and end to the Song Sam bottle and the beer. Luckily for me I had only slugged down half a can of beer Singha, when Nan told me that auntie, mom and a few […]

The Drive

Finding a pick-up truck to rent in Pattaya only 3 days before Songkran was proving difficult, with all the expats and their Issan girlfriends desperate to get out of town before the watery madness started. But we finally found a Chevrolet in Jomtien that looked like it may get us up country without breaking down.
