Been there done that
, for me it was in Loei (Isarn) , with my ex gf her family. I went there to visit them second time, but now it was because my ex her brother was getting married. So a huge diner and drink party the day before the wedding started. Sam song and the Lao Khao was the only drink I got served. Next morning 5 am the whole family was chopping vegetables and meat for the wedding and me still drunk with such a hangover. Few hours later I walked still drunk to the wedding, in Isarn it's a tradition that the family walks with the broom to the bride house where her family is waiting.
About 40 degrees, dehydrating and people offering you beers again at 9 am. Those crazy Thai people
.
Anyway it was a nice experience, saw a traditional marriage. All local people watching me how I was walking with them. Very scary in the beginning, but after I got used to it.
Ow yeah about the Lao Khao, only when I smell this shit, I almost have to puke again... They put some wood inside also, her dad sad it was good for health... I think they call it Yadong or something ...
