Smiles

Left out of the post below regarding a recent excursion to Isaan, I was looking at these two photos and really feel they sum up a couple of deep ~ though unrelated ~ emotions regarding the overall Thailand experience (whatever that may mean to you).
This first shot was taken by my guy at his home. Three of his (thousands!) of nephews (and one neice) popped in from around-the-corner-or-up-the-road-or-across-the-rice-paddy and did one of those totally endearing poses for the camera that only kids can carry off without crossing over into the maudlin.
How many times have you seen Thai kids on the beach ... sat beside Thai kids playing bloodthirsty computer games while you are trying to concentrate on answering emails ... walked passed moms interacting with their 5-yr olds ... watched Thai kids playing in a dusty school playground ... etc etc etc
Same same faces here:

And then, crudely, yet desireously ... the Thai-guy-you-last-offed for an over-nighter lying there the Morning After on a white sheet, blanket 'just covering': sweet as a peach ... lickable as all get out ... "don't wake him up, fuckhead!"
But not to burst the bubble . . . this is in fact my guy collapsed ~ as dead ~ at a quite pleasant hotel in Prasart in the first morning light after the last a day of the rice harvest. He was finally finished, and exhausted. And useless as tits on a bull, I should add.
