Hi

Has anyone ever been to the village of At Samat? It is just of Roi Et. I would be interested to hear about?

It is 30 km south west of Roi et. A very sleepy Isaan village. Next shops, restaurants, accomodation etc etc in Roi-et.

Sorry to be pedantic Roi-Et local boy, but more like 35 kms southeast from Roi-Et, as wouldn't want Oyster to go off at a tangent. On the road to Phanom Phrai, which has the next best rocket festival after Yasothon, so I'm told. Usually around May or early June.

Atsamat is a bit on the sleepy side, but then so are most Isaan amphurs (districts) for most of the time, but they come to life during festivals and when there's a new farang in town. If you throw too much money and booze around on your first visit, then you will have set the benchmark for all future visits, so go easy, smile a lot, let the old ladies pinch your armhair, suss out the inlaws and enjoy!

I don't have a Thai wife but I did come close to it with a lady who was from At Samat. She has returned to the village(forever?) now and I cannot email her as there is no internet there. I was hoping someone might have some pics of the village or knew any falangs who might live in the area.

Thanks
