Well, déjà vu would be the right expression relative to how I’m feeling now. Nuch has her bags packed. Although I’m betting not securely. There will be an ambit claim on any space I have to spare I’m sure.

This year’s trip will have us revisiting the much loved Songkran festival. Our stray family members will make their way from Bangkok once again as they do every year. I am prepared. I have my waterproof housing for my camera and ready for the aquatic onslaught.

First we will be spending some days in Bangkok and environs. My wife has been out of shopping circulation and will need to catch up I’m sure. I will of course remain house bound for the duration until the 11th, when we take off for Khon Kaen. We will endeavor to take in some sights as well. Though I don’t like my chances.

Khon Kaen will be a reawakening of the primal instinct within me as we (I) go through many hours with no sleep. Sleeping on the floor with only a reed mat to cushion the experience. Dogs howling, cows flatulating, and cocks crowing. Hmmmmm, why do I keep coming back.

Love it,….. Stay tuned.
