First 12 times of the West... Homestay at Ban Tha Khan Thong, Chiang Rai Province.

The village of Ban Tha Khan Thong is known as the "Isan of Chiang Rai" due to its unique blend of Isan and Northern Thai influences. The villagers' way of life and culture are heavily influenced by Isan traditions, while also incorporating the rich heritage of the Northern Thai people. This fusion of cultures creates a vibrant and diverse community that is truly unique to the region.

This is a small community where a large number of people from the Northeast have migrated, making Tha Khan Thong a unique place where you can experience the cultures of both regions simultaneously.

Coincidentally, I have many foreign friends from diverse cultures, making this visit even more special.

This is a small community on the banks of the Mekong River in Chiang Saen District, Chiang Rai Province.

The previous image was a joke. It was a drone with a broken propeller, so it was tied to the bird.

Now, for this image, regardless of the culture, any woman who sits down will instantly feel connected. She looks truly captivated.

Upon arriving at the rice-husking stage, I was immediately wide awake. There was rice water to drink, and the auntie demonstrated how to husk rice using both hands. For the subsequent images, please refer to the video clip, as things got a bit chaotic.

At first glance, the cloned slider may appear ordinary.

As soon as the game began, they started throwing mud at each other with great enthusiasm.

The more mistakes you make, the more experience you gain. These two threw two mud balls into my mouth. Let me rinse my mouth for a moment.

The energy is still high, so let's keep going with the bikes.

Hey, how does the mud in your mouth taste?

If you're lucky, you can grill amidst the Mekong River atmosphere.
