Ohhh yes - do it. If itтАЩs your first time in rural Thailand, maybe a stay at hotel at first and get used to it all might be wise. From there you can visit boyfriendтАЩs family and choose what to do. Places to stay are the Ploy hotel (900 TBT) or the Grand Hotel (do not pay more than 800 TBT) or at the more basic but friendly Hua Nam Hotel near the bridge to Laos for around 350 TBT per room.

The friendliness of locals is sometimes breathtaking. Mukdahan is a lovely spot which can be overseen at best from the high rising TV tower south of the city centre.

Night time temps are not all that bad now, I was up-country a few weeks ago. It's the dam early morning noise that gets me. That friggenrooster, with all the other cocks answering him. Then everyone gets up at the crack of dawn.

They also stay up very late. I then noticed that naps are taken druing the day, anywhere and everywhere.

Try one night and see how it goes, then if you can't sleep go the hotel route.

Have you decided how to get there? I flew to Udon and rented a car. The roads are very good.

Its a small and quiet town - especially for nightlife. Good for cheap shopping if you need gifts etc. You might want to take a ferry across the mekong for a day out. Loads of temples and ruins in the area - but you will need a car for that.

do nto hestitate, go and visit, i made my second visit to a thai b/f home this new year. a great experience and you will treated very well indeed. let your b/f handle the money and agree before you visit how much you will spend.

Well done. It looks lke you've found the key into real Thailand.

I visit my bf's village in Sukhothai a couple of times a year. It is always a great experience. His family always goes out of their way to make me feel welcome. My only regret is that I don't yet speak enough Thai to have decent conversations with them. Visiting the village does give an entirely different and special perspective. The only bad part for me is the roosters...I was raised to believe they crow at dawn...the bastards in Sukhothai start at 3:30 in the morning. And go on and on and on.

In Sukhothai they probably speak Thai but in Issan and the far NE, they speak Issan or something closer to Lao. They don't learn Thai until they go to school. Some learn more than others and some are too old to remember.

Yes, The all night cocks. I noticed that he had 4 roosters, all seperated in cages. These were not breeding cocks, but fighting cocks, I suspected. Maybe they crow more when in sight of another cock? I have no experience with cocks......ah well you know what I mean.
