In the next few days, I shall be flying to Bangkok, and begin a 10 day holiday, travelling Central Thailand. Joining me will be my wife Nok and son Alex, Mary, Stephen and grandson Julyan. Also a Thai family whose son is likely to study in Perth together with my son in 2011. On Christmas day, early morning, we will drive to Phrae, and then westwards to Tak, near the Burmese border. Along the way, we will stay in cool mountain resorts, river houses, and villagers houses. It’s the time of the year, where we visit villagers and give toys and clothes away. <\/p>\n
Christmas isnt widely celebrated in provincial Thailand, but the year end mood just catches on with the rich and poor, young and old. Pently of drinking, singing, dancing and eating. We shall finally reach Korat, North East Thailand where we will head for the rice fields, and celebrate my father-in-law’s 88th birthday. It’s a poor village, where food is mainly leaves from the trees, fishes from the ponds and chickens running around the back of the house.<\/p>\n
I am back on Jan 4, but I shall give you some live commentaries along the way.<\/p>\n
