elliss Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I am fully accepted in my village. After a good afternoon at the local Mom 'n' Pop store getting myself fully "Leo"ed up, on staggering home the children coming running out from their houses and, as a mark of respect, throw pebbles in my direction and shout "Lung Kee Mao", which i understand to mean "Pillar of the Community" or something similar. I can't head into the local amphur as I haven't (or can't afford to) paid the tax on my 2002 Honda Dream, which my wife appreciates as she doesn't want any of those horrible Farang to give me funny ideas about family life. She, by the way, handles all my financial affairs including my pension from overseas. Bless her; she's investing for our future .. in something .... what a Gal Life is good!

sabang Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Seems to me, after meeting many people that settled down in Isaan, you can divide them into three groups. Those who moved there because the wife/GF said so. Those who have limited financial resources and need to stretch them out. Nutters. Can't you be all three? Anyway, it still beats pattaya for this isaanite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottdoo Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 "If you find yourself in Hell, keep going." Winston Churchill. This is beginning to remind me of the evening news reader who starts off by saying "Good evening" and then goes on to explain why it is'nt. I would just like to say that the original post was a really nice sentiment from someone who seems comfortable in his own skin and happy in his surroundings. Maybe not what all of us have but something to aspire to. I enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostinisaan Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 I can do about three days and climbing the walls, surrounded by rice fields, insects a dodgy water supply and no internet is not my idea of fun at all. The main pastimes seem to be drinking, catching fish and incest I don't see any rice fields when I look out of my windows. There's no dodgy water supply and fiber internet is pretty fast. You must be a real perv who's drinking, never catching a fish, but into incest. I've made some good Thai friends in 15 year being here, know where to go to when anything breaks down and I really don't understand your bitterness.

Odysseus123 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 At the risk of being a trifle too anarchic for the moderators.... Are there any foreigners or Thai here who play chess or backgammon and who may want to discuss a book or two or (just possibly) the international news? Rather than their pensions and how many baht one spends on a cup of coffee? Please note the word "foreigner" here rather than "farang" and I will leave it at that. I would like to start by mentioning Louis de Bernieres' splendid novel "Birds Without Wings" set in a small town in Turkey between 1912 and 1923 and how a community of Muslims,Christians and Armenians falls apart under the continuing stress of war, to the ruination of all three. Any other books that one might care to mention? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odysseus123 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Splendid, A book by Ken Kesey,I believe, written in the early 1960's and still going strong. Did you find the character of J.P McMurphy very interesting and if so,why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLCrab Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Wherein Kesey often used the word "poozle". In the book, The Chief is a much more complex character and serves as the narrator which upset Kesey when such was not the case in the movie. BTW Kesey's Sometimes a Great Notion is a less well-known but also a great book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thai3 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I like a game of chess, never met anyone here that plays, gave up books- the type got too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odysseus123 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I agree. The movie was much more more simplistic then the book but is that not ever the way? J.P McMurphy is caught in a situation from which,for all his rebelliousness,he cannot escape whereas we assume that the chief in one way or the other, did somehow attain freedom. Mind you it is over thirty years since I read Kesey but I did find him very interesting. Have you read any William T.Vollmann? Have you any thoughts on Pres.Obama's visit to the region? By the way,I am not looking for a fight as I am a newbie and merely seeking out people on this area who might like to discuss such things.I guess I just had to start somewhere.. Cheers.
