What For Christmas For A Good Issan Girl

[Khutan]

As 1 Baht of gold and a Buffalo are about the same cost, I am trying to decide what is the better gift for my wife, who after all was born in Issan, a Baht of Gold or a Buffalo ?

Don't be cheap , get your wife a BMW

A personel butler for a month!

Along with the other domestic staff - I don't think so

Bambi, those Golden looking Buffalo's aren't they locally called "Kwai Farang" ?

Without a doubt...... a buffalo:

So, what are the factors deciding on such choice?

>She can boot it, kick it, stick it's head down some toilet and it's value wont be affected.

>No potential swag-wag of a thief is simply gonna swipe away while riding a motorbike.

>Yer wife, after a fight, wont simply be able to pop down the local shop, sell it off staright away and disappear on holiday for the next week.

> Companionship, what one baht of gold can give you the intimacy and feeling of affection as the beauty of the buffalo?

> And, after another fist-fight - what kind of girl in her right mind is gonna be seen dead, doing a runner with a buffalo on the over-night bus to Phuket??

Gold will be around long after the buffalo falls sick and dies. (unless she sells gold)

Funny, the last time my wife sold her gold it was because I wanted to borrow some money from her

I am not sure if I have repaid it yet

Nothing can be as easy to pick as the gift of a Buffalo....it will bring back all those joyous memories of working the fields for next to nothing to support her fathers lust of laoCao! Not only that the Buffalo is much bigger therefore it will be easier to show off than a scrawny 1 baht chain.

Oh yes it has to be the Buffalo!!!!

Ms B's exact reaction....

[OlRedEyes]

Just be sure to get medical insurance for the buffalo too... else there may be some further expenses down the line for this gift of love

[Kringle]

Why get anything, not a Thai holiday anyway. He11, I'm to old for that BS anyway.

[The_Moog]

A nice big tin of biscuits, or 'Quality Street' chocolates.

A buffalo, the gift that keeps giving...illness after illness after illness....

Hi friends,

My girlfriend has a better idea, she says, why not give Ferrari, look very nice in Esan. And after that, maybe a gas station, to get the best quote for gasoline. java script:emoticon(':rolleyes:')

Buy her a CD with this song on it. Let me know if it works.

Not too sure if the wifes neck could support the weight of a buffalo,I could see problems arising trying to get into shops etc.

So for the sake of all ,I say a bhat of gold will do
