Re: Sleeping in the villages...
I have on several ocassions the past ten years. Usually two to three days at a time. And yes, I adapt quite well, sleep on the floor, shower by throwing ice cold water over myself and urinate in the open.
I eat the same things everyone else eats, and drink beerlao all day, just as everyone else.
In fact, I just got back from a two day visit to the inlaws.
The reason why only two to three days is sheer boredom. There is nothing to do short from drinking, and believe it or not, but my Lao telecom sim has a working internet connection about two kilometers south lf the village and again in Song Hong, four kilometers north of the village. Maybe next time I will get a Unitel sim, as they do seem to offer internet in the village....
Re: Sleeping in the villages...
Why do you want everyone's photo?
Leo can see them, but as Moses has already pointed out - you can't.

Have you ever gotten sick? No upset stomach or anything like that?
And what about the water? Can you drink it?
I'd love to go bush - only for a very short time - but I'd be too afraid to eat or drink anything. Even in Bangkok I'm very careful.
Re: Sleeping in the villages...
Ah for fuck sake a447, Matt has posted a picture, as have I, how are we believe your posts about nights in the bars of Pattaya: What more do you want him to do:? Who can tell if your reports about nights in Eros, etc are genuine? Truth is we can't, we believe you. I could have saved a couple of thousand Euro by posting from memory - my few beers in the Beer Garden, my night at a bar in /sunee which name I;ve never bothered to learn?
I could write a trip report right now and you would have no way of knowing if it was fake or true

Unless, of course.......
Oh goodie, I've joined the list of posters you love to hound, what an honour. To confirm your suspicion, I've been around the gay boards long enough I can assure you. And before you quote with undiluted glee an earlier comment of mine that I am 'a relative newcomer' to the gay boards I would remind you that 'relative' is a relative term.
Re: Sleeping in the villages...
a447, they do have bottled water in the villages, you dumb muppet.
Re: Sleeping in the villages...
Never got sick, and yes I drink the water.
That reminds me:
The first time I visited my boyfriend's family was in august 2006 and after the first night when I woke up at around 6 am, my father in law offered me a beerlao !
I drank water instead :)
Turned out my boyfriend had told his father that I cannot drink the water, so that's why he offered beer instead !
I can drink that water just fine of course.
Personally, I find the tent idea ludicrous and disrespectful towards the family. Why can't you just adapt, I'm sure you will gain more respect.
As to Internet, be warned Lao mobile internet is much slower then Thailand, and coverage is spotty. It pays to ask Leo beforehand if there even is coverage and which provider. Then do a search online how about what codes to use to apply internet packages and how to activate data, and what APPN to use.
Bottom line, you would be lucky to even have coverage. My second Lao boyfriend (the one I no longer talk to) always had to walk ten minutes to what he called "internet area" just as everyone else in that village...

Exactly. Not sure which one, though. Narrowed it down to two.

Easy. I write in great detail - too much for some - and mention the name of the bar and the number/name of the boys. If they aren't happy with being identified on the internet, you can always pm me, as many have over the years. Then you can go and check with the guys. No problem.
And yes, you could write a report, but if you visit the same bars as me, then I'd know if you were bullshitting or not. We are all well aware of what goes on at Eros and Goodboys.
What more do I want matt to do?
Nothing, really. I'm just waiting for your report after you have met him.
Re: Sleeping in the villages...
Sorry a447, but considering how much you've hounded me over the past year about going blind, doesn't cut it.
Either post a photo proving your existence, or shut the fuck up, and never post another negative word directed towards me.
And I am actually blind, you inconfident dick.
