Going Blankeyed in Northeast Thailand

It’s been a fair while since I have posted here, while I have been devoting most of my time to learning about 3G and live broadcasting for the past few months.
First of all today’s Podcast Episode 49 is a replay of a previous post in Udon. The more I travel through Isaan, more and more, the more I see how well Bangkok is doing at corrupting Isaan. Here I speak of the Religion of Retail. People spend hour after hour wondering aimlessly through both outdoor and indoor shopping centers,malls and arcades. University students now list shopping as a hobby.It’s not that there is much of a selection, the same panties, bras, jeans, shorts, socks, geegaws, calculators, locks in stall after stall. The new malls, the Central Plazas are wher people go to cool down on a hot day , No one with bags in their hands, just glazed over eyes from mindlessly wandering the chilled caverns of the modern malls. Bahn Nok from the villages staring at awe at the lifts (elevators) and escalators. Aircon is the God and Malls are the temples in Northeast Thailand
