If this ain't Thailand...

Me and Hasse (my father-in-law) just came back from the dinner that one of the local security guards was proud to serve us. I was hoping it wouldnt be any thai "specialities", so I was saying CHICKEN out loud many times before the dinner. He was saying KAI, ok chicken its gonna be, but when we found the place it was all raw octopussy at first. And then came the chicken, about the same time. Cool thing was, that Hasse wasnt really sure where to turn so suddenly there was a guy behind us beeping and waving to stop. We stopped and followed him and got to the right place. They had changed the roads, so they placed a dude there to wait us to drive by and then show the right way the dinner. Ps. We heard that the whole village was talking about the dinner, SO, it was more like an honour for the man than anything else. We brought a small whisky bottle just as a good cause and they took it as a nice sign, even though almost being affended by OUR genereousity. Go figure. Anyways, there must have been the buffee´´ee of a lifetime just made for us, cause after we said we were stuffed they still kept coming with all kinds of dishes.
There was talks about maybe marrying somebody but I quickly dissed that by showing pictures of MY kids and Sandra.
The outside toilet was a place that was worth to see. It was located like 20meters from the house and to be honest, skansen workers would have been VERY excited about he crawling walls. So, the son of the family is a Thaiboxer, 7years, very busy with armwrestling with Hasse, hes gonna show me some local tattoo place. Im not sure if he wanted me to (machine)tattoo him or for me to get bambu tattooed by the locals. He said theres a proper studio here, right..... At least a place with a MACHINE and a bambu option.
However, the dinner got done with very little english words and more body language. Also helped that Hasse was making more "scandinavian" drinks for folks so, they were kinda blurry.

Btw, its really overwhelming what kind of noise the jungle makes at night, its all quiet during the day and when the sun goes down, KABOOOOM! they turn their amps on.

Anywayzzzz, its vey exiting to see what the thaiboxer will show/want me to do/want me to get from the locals. I'll try to post later of that.
Pss. It looks like theres more people reading this than Sandra but I dont think there is. I just write it like there was a few more.... And still having a BIGTIME FLU at 33degrees...
