Uncle Beer Visits Nong Ja, Isaan Thailand.

The other day, Nong Ja’s uncle came to visit us for a few hours. Beer is a funny little guy and sadly I don’t get to see a lot of him. He is cheeky as hell, but so lovely. When Ja and him are together there is never a dull moment. It is 100mph, full steam ahead for hours.
Nong Ja, Beer and Benjawan
Kids love to play, Ja is no exception and she has so many toys, too many toys. They are so cheap here so we have gone a little overboard you could say. What is scattered on the floor here is just two boxes of five. The other three are in the spare bedroom. Plus we have given Beer a heap as well that stay out in the village.

For some reason the two little monkeys wanted to tip every toy out onto the floor and climb into the box, maybe they thought they were in a boat, no idea.

They happily played while Benjawan tried to start picking up toys and put them away again, but this was just met by the two cheeky monkeys in throwing them back out again. Finally Ben gave up and decided to just wait until Beer went home.

Beer calls me “Jay” as does Ja, each time I took a few pictures they wanted to see themselves in the viewfinder and would giggle and laugh at their picture.

I don’t mind Beer visiting for a few hours at a time, if it was more than that I am sure my hair would turn white and fall out. I don’t get a moments peace when Ja is home by herself, and when Beer arrives it is double trouble.

Jay look at this, Jay come here, Jay lets go outside, Jay lets go to Big C, Jay lets draw a picture and on it goes.

Thai girls usually eat, talk, watch dreadful Thai TV and just hope the kids entertain themselves. Give them toys, put on a video and they will be right, right?

Ja and Beer know I am a big kid and will fool around for a few hours, so I am the go to man. I actually like acting like a clown or the fool, but again that does come pretty naturally.
