Mike, I’ve experienced some of the same. Little brother came to visit us in the hotel once and used the bathroom…when I went in after him there were footprints on the seat

All in all the visit to the village and staying there was good but I am very happy to be in a hotel in Nakome phanome now.

Wait till you hear about my farming experience…family couldn’t believe I was shoveling shit…kept saying “Falang pee baaa.

The cold shower in the morning is an eye opener but this afternoon it was wonderful considering how hot it was.

Almost as in At Samat, I’m usually there.

Talen what a great selection of photographs. I hate cold showers and dread visiting MTF’s home.

Mind you it also always makes me laugh when relatives visit here. They won’t use the electric shower, I have to put a large container of water in the bathroom so they can do it Thai style.

The flush toilet was also a novelty when they first visited especially for the kids, I will never forget finding Doy squatting on the seat.

Now you’re hitting the right spot with me, village life. I remember the cold bucket shower when we used to stay at Wi’s mothers house, the shock of the first slash of ice cold water was the nearest to a heart attack I ever hope to feel.

April time in the stifling afternoon sun the shower was a welcome relief but early morning and late evening it was a heart thumping experience. I used to stand there for a minute maybe two with the water bowl in my hands trying to summon the courage to chuck it over me….shhittt…..aaahhhh…bloody freezing cold.

I have always said that it’s an experience everyone should try once. A freezing cold shower in an outside bathroom full of mosquitoes. Wonderful stuff.
