kittyboy,, if you were a proper Catholic, you'd know the term "ex cathedra" from the age of 7. And Original Sin, and wanking is bad, unless it's being done by a priest or a Christian Brother (other brands of Brother are also available)

Hitchhiking's more of a challenge on the road less travelled.
A few years ago I visited a small thai village with a guy. It was very very basic accommodations. I stayed one night in the family home. It was hot, noisy and full if insects. The next night I rented a hotel room which was about 15 KM away. I asked the guy I was with if I was insulting the family and he assured me that they understood I was a farang and was not used to living in the country..etc.. It did not seem to be a problem..face wise for me not to stay in the family home.
The main problem I had with staying at the family home was I felt like a zoo attraction. Lots of people coming by to get a look actually to stare. It was an interesting experience and I did get to check out lots of hot farm guys. If I ever do it again I would rent a hotel room.
Matt..I think you are off a bit to want to sleep in a tent..but that is just me. I like my climate controlled sleeping environment and the privacy.
Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, and they all stink.

Sounds like Stalker-Fountainhole. Sent me love letters from the second or third day after I made my first post here - even booked a hotel and suggested an itinerary for us to travel up to Chiang Rai. I gave him no encouragement whatsoever and I think I replied to his PMs only once; it was all in his head. He went berserk and waged a campaign against me here (and later on GT under the name PeterRS) when I politely told him that I wasn't interested.Originally Posted by cdnmatt
It was all in his fucking head.

Isn't going into the bushes for very short times what has got you arrested multiple times?
Live geriatric porn of which your name appears above the marquee?
Which proves yet again that life can be stranger than fiction.
This is rich coming from Fountainhole's tampon and bobsaigon's asswipe.

kittyboy, I had much the same experience when I visited my friend;s family in 'Si Saketl They had no problem with me staying in a local hotel.

Yeah, shouldn't be a problem at all and for all you know, they might even appreciate it as accommodating a farang guest can be a burden for some although they'd never say it. If you have to, make an excuse like you snore or are a late riser. Try not to refer to any of the facilities or lack thereof. Make it sound as if YOU'RE the problem and your not wanting to impose. If they insist, you insist harder - it's just a politeness game.
Of course, it all depends on the village and the individual house. Some village houses are quite comfortable with great ventilation and with all the mod-cons you'd expect in a more urban home. Some village houses have great ventilation and with all the mod-cons you'd expect in a more urban home. I stayed with a friend in Chantaburi for a few days during summer break and it was great. His house was in the middle of a fruit orchard and I stuffed my face with mangoes, rambutans and durian, which his province was famous for. There was even a stream nearby where we went skinny dipping - well sort of.

@Justaguy and kittyboy -- Thanks for your proper responses. Discussed with Leo multiple times now, and camping it is! I guess there's a basic hotel about 4km away, but even Leo still thinks camping is a better idea, and so do I.
This isn't just going to be a one-time excursion, eh? Especially if we take those kids, which sounds more than likely, then we're going to be living in Vientiane for 10+ years until they're finished high school. That means we're in the village probably around 30 days/year for 10+ years. Leo says we'll only need to visit the village once a year, but I already know that's not right. His parents seem to be getting on in their years, because one of them seems to always be in the hospital nowadays. Then the kids will need to go back to the village once in a while to spend time with their mom and friends.
So that village is going to become enough of an integral part of my life to go out of my way, and make myself comfortable. I don't currently have the resources to build the father a house, and even if I did, I still wouldn't do it. Leo's told me stories of how his father used to punch him with a closed fist, so as far as I'm concerned, fuck him.
Then the father and myself I'm sure won't get along very well. We'll be polite and respectful towards each other and everything, but we'll have absolutely nothing in common. So I don't really want to intrude on his personal space, and without having to say it, I can tell Leo agrees with that sentiment. As long as his father and myself leave each other alone, we should get along just fine.
Plus this just works. I can be there from 6am when breakfast is getting started, until 10pm when everyone is stumbling home after a few too many beers. Leo can take off during the day to do his thing -- forrage for food, hang out with friends, or whatever, and I'll be totally fine. Just make sure there's lots of money on my phone so I can tether it to my computer for internet, and make sure the cooler is full of ice and beer, and I'm good to go. Leo can head out without having to worry about me, because it's not like I can go anywhere by myself anyway.
Then when we roll into the village, I'll have a large plastic container hidden away for me with the tent, air mattress, tarps, lawn charis, etc. I'll have my little fire pit already there, will probably get a picnic table or two built for me, etc. Yeah, it's actually a good idea, and Leo agrees with me. Besides, I love and miss camping.
