Hi Bob, we are just back from out home in Isaan. And miss already khan niao gai mot daeng and all our warm and hearty relatives near Khon Kaen. Indeed Isaan is different from the rest of Thailand and to be honest, it‘s also the lack of farang which is good as shall remain as long as possible. Let‘s leave it like this and keep the original, clean and real world of rural khmer lao Isaan people. 🙏 And I am happy that not everyone understands Bo pen Yang 😅
I agree with you and let us keep Isaan a secret, for as long as we can, as we do not want to spoil it. However, some things have changed since I first visited over four decades ago, some for the good and some, maybe not so, but that is my opinion as a grumpy old man.🙏🙏🙏
That is wonderful to hear! Isaan culture is vibrant, with unique traditions, music, and cuisine. It is great to see such pride in your heritage. What aspects of Isaan culture do you love the most? 🙏🙏🙏
Really enjoyed this video, it took me a little while to figure out the language was something different and learning Thai will do you no good, I think people enjoy speaking a secret language here
No No No stop the lies. Where do you get your history from? Issan is Lao people. During The "Lao rebellion of 1826" When Vientian(a principality of 1 of 3 Lao kingdom) and King Anouvong was over thrown by siam, the Lao people of Vientiane were moved to now modern day thailand issan region (khorat plateau) Siam rulers made sure to differentiate Lao from Thai by tattooing numbers on Lao people and using Lao people as free labor. With this vacuum population loss in Vientiane. The Hmongs began to migrate to Laos and fill that vacuum in the late 1800s. 25 million issan people in thailand today and Laos a population of only 7.5 million was once one of the greatest kingdom in ancient southeast asia known as Lan Xang did that with only the stats of a 7.5 million population of today? You can call what happened to the issan people thaification by thai rulers only allowed approved by the french when they decided to draw their borders for the French indo china colonization.
Thank you for your comment and for sharing your perspective on the history of Isaan and the Lao people. It is clear that this topic is deeply important to you, and I appreciate the opportunity to engage in a meaningful discussion. The history of Isaan and its people is indeed complex and multifaceted. The Lao Rebellion of 1826, led by King Anouvong of Vientiane, was a significant event in the region’s history. After the rebellion was suppressed by Siam, many Lao people were forcibly relocated to what is now northeastern Thailand, including the Khorat Plateau. This relocation and the subsequent integration of Lao people into Siamese society did lead to significant cultural and demographic changes. The process of Thaification, where the Siamese rulers sought to assimilate various ethnic groups into a unified Thai identity, did influence the Lao people in Isaan. This included measures such as tattooing and using Lao people as labour. The demographic shifts you mentioned, including the migration of Hmong people into Laos, also played a role in shaping the region’s history. It is important to recognise that historical narratives can vary, and different sources may emphasize different aspects of these events. My goal is to present a balanced view that acknowledges the complexities and nuances of this history. Thank you again for your comment. I hope my response helps clarify my perspective and encourages further discussion on this fascinating topic. 🙏🙏🙏

One question: where did you get these awesome pictures from? Never saw that much people in these costumes… is it from Sukothai?

Glad you enjoyed the video and learning Thai would help, as it is the common language of Thailand, however, the Isaan dialect is different!🙏🙏🙏
