Christmas Is Not Over in Isaan Thailand.

Well Christmas in Isaan Thailand just cannot finish yet. Nong Ja has decided that the top part our Christmas tree must stay up for Santa. Noot had pulled the tree down when Ja was at school but it wasn’t put away

Benjawan and Her Self Portraits, Isaan Thailand.

I was getting ready to upload some pictures and came across below. When I was out and Benjawan was obviously bored as she decided to take some self portraits.

Beautiful Thai Girls and Christmas in Isaan Thailand.

I had complained the other day about my decorations and lights going missing, but my star for the top of the tree returned as did the reindeers. But that was it and I could be bothered asking about all the other things. Nong Ja, she isn’t into wearing girlie clothes but we bought her a nice dress from the Thai cartoon movie Khan Kluay and she happily wore it to the temple for Father’s Day the other weekend

Christmas in Isaan Thailand and a Qantas 380.

Well not a lot to report as we run into Christmas. I do have a funny story to do with Christmas but to that in a minute.

Ben 10, Spaghetti and Mashed Potato, Isaan Thailand.

Well life has been so exciting of late, not. The most exciting thing to happen this week was have Nong Ja wander into my room and ask me to cook spawetee or something like that, how she pronounces it. I think the larger two monkeys had put her up to it, so spaghetti was on the menu.

Happy Birthday to Nong Ja, Isaan Thailand.

Well today is my amazing little niece’s birthday. Nong Ja has turned three and we headed across to one of our favourite restaurants in Ubon Ratchathani being Krungtep. I arrived a little late and the girls had already started the birthday dinner.

Beating the Heat in Isaan Thailand.

The other afternoon Nong Ja awoke from her midday nap and was a little grumpy. It is starting to warm up here. It is getting humid and even with the fan on, you still sweat.

Home Alone Missing My Girls a Little, Isaan Thailand.

Well things have been quiet the last few days; Miss Noot and Nong Ja have gone away. Noot is visiting her mother and then off to see her relatives a 150klms away. So the two girls in my life gone makes the house very quiet, but not such a bad thing every now and then

Thai Baby Rabbits and a Young Photographer, Isaan Thailand.

The other week I wrote about our rabbit having babies . How time flies as that was two weeks ago already. The rabbits grow really fast and in a week they already have plenty of fur and you can see traces of their colours. My amazing niece Nong Ja, she loves them.

Nong Ja’s 2nd Birthday, Isaan Thailand.

The other night, on the 13th of June we were off to celebrate Nong Ja’s birthday. The two years have seemed to fly by. So Ja was dressed up in her pink number as this is what she grabbed

At Work, Dreaming of a Holiday, Isaan Style.

There hasn’t been a lot to report of late. I am back in the grind of working again and most of my day is taken up at school. I arrive each day around 6.30am a good hour before any other teacher. This is simply because it is so peaceful and there are no interruptions of students and so forth

A Trip to the Seaside, Thailand

I was at home the other day when my mate called me and asked if I would like to go on holiday with him and his family. He has his son and daughter over here with their partners and kids. After a few weeks in Ubon Ratchathani they needed some seaside rays it seemed.

It’s So Quite, I Miss My Girls. Isaan Thailand.

I am really missing the two girls of my life, it is so quite in the house and I thought sitting around for 5 or so days by myself, being able to watch the football (Rugby League, Australian Rules, Premier League, F.A Cup and The Masters Golf) would be great, but it isn’t. It’s only been a day and a half. I do miss Noot, but my niece Nong Ja who usually has me going here, there and everywhere also away with Noot makes the silence eerie.

Nong Ja My Thai Niece, Isaan Thailand.

We have the pleasure of looking after our amazing little niece Nong Ja. She has been with us for at least 3 weeks straight now and will be staying with us until who knows when. It will be at least until mid May of even fulltime until she goes to school.

Thai Niece Nong Ja, Isaan Thailand.

Last Sunday was Valentines Day; I had a very nice offer to attend a party that would have had very pretty promotional girls and silly games taking place. A local company were going to have fun with condoms and then head to the local park to hand them out to the locals. Apparently many young Thai girls lose their virginity on Valentines Day and also many get pregnant.
