Khutan Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 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 ?

Stephen Cleary Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 (edited) 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??

britmaveric Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Gold will be around long after the buffalo falls sick and dies. (unless she sells gold) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khutan Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 Gold will be around long after the buffalo falls sick and dies. (unless she sells gold) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDH Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 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 ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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!!!!
