What to do in a Sisaket village for a week?

[rocket2]

I am committed to spending a week in a sisaket village over Christmas. How to keep one and an 8 year old boy occupied? 
 

I am contemplating buying some fruit trees to plant at the farm  and help shades the mother in laws house. 
 

might borrow some cars or puppies for the week to entertain  the kid.

 Not really my ideal for a week on holiday but probably the most likely scenario.

Sri Saket is about as rural as it gets. Here are some of the options: 

• One day trip to Sri Saket city. Go to Big C and/or Macro, get some higher quality food stuff than what's procured locally in the village.
• One day trip to Ubon Rachatani city; slightly bigger than Sri Saket City. 
• Stay away from Khao Pra Wihan, which has nice ruins, but there seems to be the obligatory annual trouble at the border with Cambodia. 
• Don't assume they have Wi-Fi in the house, get a package with 50-100GB 5G internet data on your phone.

How far will you be from Kantharalak?

Take a jumper it can get chilly in December/January.

 

Nonsense as far as I know regarding khao Preah Vihear - it is not accessible from the Thai side, only the Cambodian side (not for Thais though).

 

One of the best crossings is in the province of Sisaket.....Chong  Sa Ngam.

 

Totally missed out the million bottle temple.... Wat Lan Khuad.

 

Sisaket is one of the best provinces for the supply of fit massage girls.

Could be. Things change. I visited a few years ago, from the Thai side...

Right. That's in Khun Han. Worth visiting... 

 

While in Khun Han, go to Little Bird for some decent farang food...

Does the son speak Thai? Maybe some games/toys that can be shared with the local kids and maybe left behind. Frisbees, footballs, water guns...... The locals here like Uno. A volleyball kit with a net would be popular.

 

You will be stuck drinking Lao Khao with the men while she works. Do not toast individually, only drink when everyone drinks. Try to mix it with soda to take the edge off. 

 

Lots of temples to see. Be careful about getting stuck with the bills for the family shopping excursions though. I let the Mrs. handle the money because she can say no where I can't but that depends on your relationship.

Think they all speak Khmer, maybe not a good time to go with the border war and all.

Get established fruit trees, as large as you can find. Sisaket has good foreign food if you need that, Leos, Hong Kong Garden, Crows Nest. Big C has most of what you need for food to bring home. KFC for kids in Sisaket, and Kantharalak (Lotus). Sisaket Aquarium if the boy's not been there, along with the Zoo. Doing anything that isn't Thai oriented will give him a break from the routine.

I went in 2007, I believe it was closed in 2008.

 

I am not aware, and seriously doubt, that it has opened since.
