Part 5 of my time back in the Isaan, July 2009/2552:

Erawan Cave

On the way back from Phu Rua, Ajan Boon Long sprung a fast one on me and took me to a cave site I've wanted to see for almost a decade...

Invited by Wat Nong Soong Pleui Head Monk Ajan Boon Long to visit Phu Rua, who were we to say no...

Continuing the video series of my month in the Thai countryside, July 2009/2552... This short video (shot with Hi-8 tape) features our 17 Rai of rice land across the road from Wat Nong Soong Pleui. My brother-in-law Sawt and his wife Nui are cameo'd, as well as Tah, Khun Paw (my wife's father), my wife Thip and family members and friends planting rice... Initially, the rice is seeded in large beds and then, when at a certain height, redistributed throughout the rest of the rice beds. This video shows this later stage.
