Shocking for no one but the RUclips algorithm! 🤣 Just trying to get more views! 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you too, and so glad you enjoyed it.🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for your lovely comment, Christian! 😊 Isaan truly has a special place in many hearts, including yours and mine. Whether it is the vibrant culture, the rich history, or the warm hospitality of the people, there is so much to love about this region. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you, I am glad to hear my observations about the unique aspects of Isaan culture resonate with you. The food can indeed be an acquired taste, but once you get used to it, it is hard not to crave those bold and vibrant flavours! Please stay tuned for more insights and stories from Isaan! 🙏🙏🙏

Haha, you nailed it! 😄 Isaan cuisine is definitely not for the faint-hearted, but that is what makes it so unique and exciting, from the pungent (pla ra) fermented fish to the adventurous dishes like your cow’s afterbirth, there is always something new to try. And yes, it absolutely has to be ‘Isaan spicy’ to get the full experience! 🌶️ Thanks for the comment and for appreciating the bold flavours of Isaan. 🙏🙏🙏

@IsaanFlicksThailand absolutely love the nice little facts about the region, I hope to visit there some day.

@@sybrenmaat6261 Thanks and I hope you make it to Thailand's Isaan region one day.🙏🙏🙏

Thank you very much! We have received a little less rain than last year; however, we shall wait and see what happens next month. 🙏🙏🙏

Steve, navigating social customs in Thailand can be a bit tricky, but it is manageable. Here are some tips for both of your concerns: If you are offered alcohol and you need to decline, you can do so without offending anyone by simply saying, “I have a health condition that prevents me from drinking alcohol.” Most people will understand and respect this. Alternatively, you can ask for a non-alcoholic beverage instead. Saying “I would love to join you with a soda or juice” shows that you still want to participate socially. Acknowledging the gesture by thanking them and explaining you appreciate the offer shows respect for their hospitality. The idea of providing financial support to your Thai girlfriend or wife’s parents can vary widely. Traditionally, it is not a cultural requirement for a Farang (foreigner) to provide a monthly allowance. However, unfortunately, it has become more common, especially in relationships where there is a significant economic disparity. Nevertheless, if you decide to provide support, it is important to agree on a reasonable amount that will not strain your finances. It is best to discuss any expectations openly with your partner to ensure that both parties are comfortable with the arrangement to avoid misunderstandings. Remember, every relationship is unique, and it is important to find a balance that works for both you and your partner. If you ever feel pressured or uncomfortable, it is more than okay to set boundaries and have honest conversations about your concerns. Furthermore, if the question of no money, no honey arises and you do not believe it to be a joke, I would suggest you rethink your relationship. In any relationship, one always has to start as they mean to go on, however, what do I know? All relationships are different, with that said, in Thailand there is always a choice!!! Hope all this helps. Due diligence. In simpler terms, it is like doing your homework before making any big decision! Best of luck.

@@IsaanFlicksThailand Khop Khun Krup Bob, i like the idea of just asking for a soda/soft drink to join in, thats a win - win. Money is a necessary evil in today's society, in the future i can see it going back to the barter system, but thats a long way off, a few massive natural disasters to go through first.

You are welcome, Steve, money can be evil but as you said, necessary, and I do believe digital bartering already exists! 🙏🙏🙏

Glad you enjoyed it, Steve🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for your insightful comment! Comparing King Taksin to Napoleon is quite fascinating. Both leaders indeed rose from humble beginnings to achieve remarkable military and political success. King Taksin’s efforts in unifying Thailand and his strategic prowess are truly commendable. It is nice to see comments highlighting the rich history and achievements of such influential figures.🙏🙏🙏

@@IsaanFlicksThailand glad to contribute some humble insights, sir. Legacy of the sole Thonburi monarch might eventually reshape Southeast Asian geopolitics until this day even lthough he is not considered a global influencer like the French Emperor. But to be fair, his short reign marked one of the most extraordinary lives in Asian history

@@pierreiiidenormandie625 Well said!

I used to meet some Chinese businessmen from a town named Shantou (Guangdong), King Taksin's paternal hometown. I heard a story that their ancestors fought under the King, whom they considered a countryman, to oust the Burmese force from Siam. They even built him a tomb after his death. And now there have been many efforts to create the cultural link between the town and Siam, by reviving the Thonburi King's legacy in Chinese soil... long story though. So it is hard to say it in just a few words

Under his rule, as many said, everyone was equal. No matter, if you were Thai, Chinese, or Khmer or Vietnamese, under his lordship, they were all Siamese. No doubt why there is no significant critics against him across the Southeast Asian mainland

It really is and that goes for most of the Isaan region, in my humble opinion and thanks for viewing the channel.🙏🙏🙏

Thanks, shall do my best.🙏🙏🙏

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your support.🙏🙏🙏

Thank you too!🙏🙏🙏

That is wonderful to hear! Isaan culture is vibrant, with unique traditions, music, and cuisine. It is great to see such pride in your heritage. What aspects of Isaan culture do you love the most? 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for your confusing comment! 555 🤣😂🙏

So nice of you and thank you for your support.🙏🙏🙏

Glad you liked the music.🙏🙏🙏

Justin???

Please find this song for me 😭​@@IsaanFlicksThailand

Your love for Thailand truly shines through your words! It is wonderful to hear how much you cherish your visits. Thailand’s beauty and culture have a way of captivating hearts, and it is clear that it holds a special place in yours. May your future trips be filled with even more amazing experiences and memories! However, just remember to save some mango sticky rice for the rest of us! 🙏🙏🙏

​@@IsaanFlicksThailand I'll visiting Isaan in the middle of Jennuary. I'm not sure yet when, but it'll be on Jennuary for sure. My girlfriend/soon to be wife, she's from Isaan. Thanks for your reply. I really appreciated it

@@simo78it That sounds like an exciting trip! Isaan is such a vibrant region with rich culture and history. January is a great time to visit, as the weather is usually quite pleasant. It’s wonderful that your girlfriend, soon-to-be wife, is from Isaan - having a local connection will make your experience even more special.🙏🙏🙏

Thanks, enjoy your retirement long stays, mrlongtime🙏🤣🍻

Sorry, Sumeet Ghai, but I do not have that information.🙏🙏🙏

@@IsaanFlicksThailand nevertheless its really upbeat and funky

Yes, they are Isaan Icons and good luck with your livestock.🙏🙏🙏

One question: where did you get these awesome pictures from? Never saw that much people in these costumes… is it from Sukothai?

I agree with you and let us keep Isaan a secret, for as long as we can, as we do not want to spoil it. However, some things have changed since I first visited over four decades ago, some for the good and some, maybe not so, but that is my opinion as a grumpy old man.🙏🙏🙏

I cheated and used AI to generate them! 🤣

So nice of you, glad you enjoyed it.🙏🙏🙏

My neighbours farm and all the local water buffaloes are well taken care of and always look nice!🤣
