not for the monger, but its got to be there.

can hear the "phuu thai" dialect being spoken, not a language in real decline yet, but difficult to recognise it being spoken if issan/lao is hard for you.

home of the best beef i have had in thailand, it is quite good and very expensive.
stronghold of the dog meat market, so tell your local "tour guide", if your willing to try it.

Thanks for your description Fun.

It gives me a feel for the place.

Whats the climate there compared to Bangkok & Phuket?

Is it more temperate, or just as hot and humid.

I'll be traveling in April/May 08.

Don't know about the dog meat though.
If my friend goes for it, I'll try, but she sticks to chicken and sometimes fish.
