Well, I started this thread with a pig feast and reckon my recent pig feast is the way to finish it of

^ Lovely little suckling pig done "Moo Hun" style in Bangkok - only about 6 weeks old it was

^ The crispy skin on the back was feckin delicious - just don'yt tell my wife I was eating this

^ Getting the sucker ready for some chillie and pepper

Great thread Wayne.With all your traveling, posting and photos,when do you get any time for any work?

**tiswas** · 12-06-2007, 03:56 PM

I'm about 140 clicks from Nakhon Rachasima & am thinking it's high time I paid a visit to the place....is it worth a visit as Mr Kerr suggests cause I'm not sure if he's on a wind up most of the time.

By the way Mr. K...Cracking threads for all your trips..

Drop Mr Buadhai a line. I'm sure he'll give you the full tour.

Great post! Very interesting. The worms almost made me barf. Was hoping it was some sort of animal penis, to make it more interesting. But, I've seen worms eaten like that on the 'survivor' tv show.

Well at about US$500/kg I can assure you they won't make you barf ... they are the delicious

. Glad you enjoyed the story.

No wind up at all ... I really like the place. Friggin envious of the chaps that have retired up around there. I guess my chance will come 30 yrs down the track with any luck

. Can recommend the Ratchaphruek Hotel - they do the best club sandwich I've had in SE Asia.

I showed this sentence to Ms. B who works at the Ratchaphruek and she laughed out loud. She doesn't think much of the food there. But, she's probably never had the club sandwich. I'll give it a try.

I have just found your trip report and enjoyed it very much,also the photos

**cisco999** · 29-07-2007, 12:50 PM

guess one has to give up the concept of a pet of any sort...........

**Mathos** · 23-10-2007, 01:49 AM

Good post all round with some brilliant contributions!

Keep it going lads.

The lady looks hungry.

**bedtime** · 22-12-2009, 04:00 PM

Excellant thread, many thanks, I have been to Phimai and Korat many times, I love the area. I think you are indeed a lucky guy to be able to live and work in Thailand, I hope to be able to retire to that part of the world fairly soon. Once again thanks

Well spotted mate

yes it's bloody awful

**Wayne Kerr** · 11-01-2010, 01:53 PM

^ I'll have you know that shirt cost several thousand from an exclusive store in west Kalimantan, Indonesia

... several thousand Indonesian Rupiah

**kingwilly** · 11-01-2010, 03:10 PM

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Besides, a decent Batik shirt will cost you millions of Rupiah now...

**Wayne Kerr** · 11-01-2010, 03:31 PM

Aye ... come to think of it can't say I've seen too many folk wearing batik shirts chopping up roast pig

**XTC** · 11-01-2010, 05:14 PM

Wayne, that is not really your name is it?

Anyway only joking about that double or nothing thing. Jock Itch picked em fair and square. Was just trying to push this thread out to 100 posts

WOW, those are amazing photos of Teredo navalis. Wikipedia has an article about that mollusk, but the only pictures are of wood with holes in it, none of the animal itself. Wayne, would you consider uploading one or more of these to Wikipedia? The catch, as you may know, is that to post a picture to Wikipedia you have to give up all rights to it. But you would be greatly improving that article. The shot of somebody holding two of them in their hands does a particularly nice job of showing both their size and their texture. And the one of a guy chowing one down while looking into the camera is great too. (Appetizing? Disgusting? Somehow both!)

Anyway, please consider it. And either way, great shots!

4 year bump WOO HOO!
