So today we had to go to a Wat near Nong Khai about 40kms away to see a monk who for 1 baht (about 3 cents) will tell your fortune and who we hoped would tell Rat who had stolen her phone. Unfortunately the Wat appeared to be abandoned so we didn't find out who stole the phone. I tried to help by looking into the past with the aid of the silver side of an old CD but I could only identify the perpetrator as being dark and having black hair, which applies to almost everybody in the village so Rat would not reward my efforts.
Today I frightened several babies. Its really strange as soon as they see the huge white bloated farang they burst into tears. Obviously they think I am a pii (ghost). Maybe I am.
