They are most useful for those who have to get up to start their day early.

The 2am one wakes those who have to go to the wholesale market in the city to bring things to the Amphur market, the 3am one wakes those who.... and so on.

I'll be darned if I can tell the voice of one from the other, but my ears weren't trained in childhood in an Isaan village.

If you can, get yourself a copy of "A Child of the North East" by K. Boontawee (1976) and of "The Thai Village Economy in the Past" by Chatthip Nartsupha (1999). They will give you ideas of what to look for, and how to interpret what you see (and hear), in the villages.

Hi Martin,

thank you so much for this info. So much useful stuff in here! :-) I'm still waiting to see if I can go ahead with my project, but I'd love to get in touch if things proceed. I really hope it does -- Isaan seems like such an interesting place, and it's great to see so many TV members who really love where they live.
