I am not Thai not of Esaan or village community. Their culture continues often reinforcing poverty. The green revolution possibly US stationed there impact adversely on the culture also the enterprise of local girls in bar culture. when education and sufficient food happens.

I live in Phuket now four years. Take bus songthell to old market Phuket town. Pink bus 2 or pink bus new bus station or blue songtell north bound. after Phuketa resort alight seven 11 blue songtell will stop at $1 shop pink bus 711 from 711 walk back five minutes.
