I try to get down and rural at least every other trip. Last time was a trip to a village about 30 miles ish east of Nong Khai. I helped out on my friend's folks rice farm. Night time's were spent frog hunting, snake hunting, sitting around with all the (extended) family eating, drinking, listening to the local cuties with guitars playing and singing, dancing. Much better than staying home and watching TV.
My guy's mother insisted I sleep with her son in her bed (which was the biggest in the house), while she slept elsewhere and wouldn't take no for an answer.
All the other locals were great and included me in whatever was going on. It took a bit of getting used to however when all the under 12's would hang around waiting to get a look at 'the Farang'. I was told that other than TV, it would have been the first chance they would have had to see a Farang in the flesh.
Looking forward to the next time.
