partying in Isaan

[Moomin]

Hi guys

Could write a book about my last 30 days in Thailand, mainly Patong, but require eye witnesses, can anyone help? Just heard 2 days ago I fell of a stool in Mai Thai bar with a BG on my knee, no recollection of this or 2 broken ribs.

Anyway just back from Khon Kaen area after going to smoke the peace pipe with my GF, who had to return to her sick papa (genuine) and leave me in Patong to take care of our business. My strategy for this of course was a major PR exercise for 2 weeks.

Got a major surprise on my visit to Khon Kaen city, the nightlife I found to be quite excellent with a multitude of FL's on show and little or no farangs, with prices at non commercial level, lots of bars and discos really good. Also attended 2 parties at GF's local village to celebrate coming of rain and another for some Thai guys making monk. They were truly memorable dancing in front of a mobile disco to thai music with about 2,000 people, getting pissed up, soaked and covered in cow shit and mud, never had such a good time as this.

Anyone else experienced anything like this?

ps 2 you guys who know me, think ive just about managed to win GF over after many untrue and undeserved rumours (i think) about my acitivities in Patong.

pps anyone who goes to mai thai bar please please do not drink black death - i need say no more nicke!!!

Sorry Eric

diddnt have camera with me, guess what I lost it!!!!

Khon Kaen was really good, only gripe was closing at 2am

Hotel 450 baht for room
night out for 10 people 4000 baht, so thats 400 baht per head
Watch for usual thai practice of whisky by the bottle and not great choice of drink thereafter.

Went to 1 live thai music and 3 discos, 1 like a cross between a go go and disco

All Thai orientated but ive noticed far more farang than 1 year ago!!!! Girls look really fresh

Definately worth a visit!!!

regards Geespot

ps loook out for my mate Tommy, he will be running love bar with my GF sister permenant in 3 weeks as my GF now stays home and thinks about babies, oh f..ck!!!
