Rice harvesting... the traditional way.

cdnvic, trying to upload from my PC, hope this works.

cdnvic, I have managed to upload a photo but I think I need to compress the file first? New to this, please bear with me....

Here is a shot I took out of the 6th floor window of the hotel. I visited Korat for 2 days in December and stayed here with my girlfriend. Apparently the hotel was not too memorable, because I cannot recall the name of it. Or possibly my memory is fading away.

Maybe someone will recognize the view and identify the hotel?

Isaan, not realy, it's now Sa Kaew province, the government changed it in 1992. Wang Sombun.

Thai kids encountering and eating toast and strawberry jam for the first time in their life.

Odd, for them, pretty much like farangs kids and a rice soup..

Look how 3 girls are watching the smallest one and what she does.

The brim of the bowl at the bottom is my thai breakfast - rice soup. All that at "my" porch.

The smallest one is a champion at the school.

My child was still to be born when the pic was taken.

Oh, the car in the back was a Qcars rental. Not mine.

Pics of Prasat Phanom Wan.

Sorry have no pictures of Isaan as never been yet but heres one of the girls at home in Buriram

by the way, is it ok to post pictures found on the net of Isaan? I've spent hours lately browsing and found some really great photos

Here's 2 of my favourites, first one is the fountain in the park at Ubon Ratchathani.

Cyclo Taxi Man near the lake in Surin.

See what Issan is really like. Seeing is believing!

I just spent 2 weeks travelling Issan on a little Honda 100 (Korat to near

Cambodian boarder).

I met many fantastic people who welcomed me into their lives.

This little video clip shows what it is really like travelling on the road,

the Wats that you pass, a monk initiation ceremony, a primary school sports

day, somtum making, rice farming, fishing in a dam and village kids playing.

As I say, this is just a small clip and I'm new to all this. I just used a

small cannon digital camera on video clip mode.

I'm new to videos, new to web video, and new to this part of Thailand on a

motorcycle. (Taking videos whilst ridding a motorcycle one handed is also

new to me!)

Maybe the important thing for those of this NG who haven't had the chance to

travel Issan that can see what it's is really like.

Sorry if this is boring for you who actually live there.

Thanks to all the Thai people who welcomed me into theirs lives.

I hope you like my contribution.

Hi there Maytin: Thanks for sharing your Issan motorcycling holiday with us.

Some of those images brought a tear to my eye. This to me is the REAL Thailand. Not a bar in sight. Just real people.

Thankyou

Peter

Here are a couple of pics in the sticks.

Thanks to kalasin for the 'how to add an attachment'

I empathise entirely with peter (and other posters) (tear and everything) I miss the place (Nong Khai) and my girlfriend so much, it is good to see the photos and video.

Can’t wait to get there and stay there (next year).

Thanks guys
