Good stories
Rune is wondering why so many people like to read Nan and Rune blog. I think one reason is all those bad stories about thai-farang relationships. Scams, cheating, lies. But this one is very good story. I don´t say Nan and Rune is the only one, but one of the best. I want more stories like this. Bravo neighbour.

Two bloggers in Isaan
It is very well known fact that many farang men are interested in dark skinned Isaan girls. It is no wonder many of them live in Isaan with their girlfriend or wife.
Several of them are blogwriters. Here is two I read regularly. I think one of the best is Nan and Rune. Rune is from Norway and his wife Nan from village near Buriram. They are now living in Nans homevillage. I am addicted by this blog, waiting new posts eagerly.
Isaan Style! is another one I look almost every day. English teacher, Brunty, from Ubon Ratchathani writes nice stories about his and familys life in Isaan. Blog has also lot of photos.

Water Park In Surin
In Surin you can go to swim in Vaninnusa water park, near the Sezglat Radio station, apartments and beauty school. In September they were open only during weekends. Open 10 am. Maybe it is good idea to call first 044-520885. MAP
Children liked the place very much and me too.
Lifting Buddha
I was visiting In September Ubon Ratchathani in Wat Maha Wananaram temple. There you can see and experience something special. Lifting Buddha is little (30-40 cm) Buddha image. Amazing thing is you can and you cannot lift it up. Make a wish while you pray and ask Buddha to guide you if your wish can come true. Then try to lift the image, use both hands. If you succeed first time put Buddha back down and ask same thing second time. This time you ask Buddha to make image so heavy you cannot lift it up.
I saw many people try, nobody could not lift Buddha up second time. I tried mymyself too. First time no problem, second time I really tried very hard but no. Amazing and confusing. My wish - yes it has come true.
Here is Youtube- video taken in BUPPHARAM THAI BUDDHIST TEMPLE in Malaysia.

Best in Surin
Travelling three weeks in Thailand, mostly in Surin, Isaan. In surin I stayed Hotel Majestic, in centre near the bus station. Service in hotel is wonderful, rooms are clean and very cosy. Roomprice is reasonable, 800 THB/night, breakfast included.
Hotel has swimming pool, little fittness center, karaoke bar, lobby bar, food restaurant and meeting rooms.
In the lobby you can use free Internet-computers.
Hotel has wireless wi-fi, it works in lobby and in some rooms too. I can recommend Surin Majestic Hotel for everyone visiting in Isaan and Surin.
When you like to eat delicious thai food in Surin go to
Chantong Thai Food restaurant near the bus station opposite The Farang Connection. Also Thai karaoke in the evenings.

Isan
Isan, also written as Isaan, Isarn, Issan, or Esarn; (Isan/Thai: อีสาน) is the northeast region of Thailand. It is located on the Khorat Plateau, bordered by the Mekong River to the north and east, and by Cambodia to the south. To the west it is separated from Northern and Central Thailand by the Phetchabun mountain range.
Agriculture is the main economic activity, but due to the socio-economic conditions and hot, dry climate output lags behind that of other parts of the country. This is Thailand's poorest region.
The main language of the region is Isan (which is similar to Lao), but Thai is also spoken by almost everyone. Khmer (the language of Cambodia) is widely spoken in regions near the Cambodian border. Most of the population is of Lao origin, but the region's incorporation into the modern Thai state has been largely successful.
Prominent aspects of the Culture of Isan include mor lam (Thai: หมอลำ) folk music, Muay Thai boxing, cock fighting and Isan food, in which sticky rice (Thai: ข้าวเหนียว) and chillies are prominent. Sticky rice is a staple of Thai Northeastern cuisine, and accompanies almost every meal.
