As I understand it, they take them to a "holy" tree, a Monk gives the blessing/o.k. and they are burned...I think on a particular day, but not sure... That's how forest fires are started ! Smokey The Bear wouldn't be pleased. Nevertheless, interesting. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Scrutinizer Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 HH, I have some pics of this spirit house cemetary stuff, with the burn scarred tree as well! Broken ones are taken to a 'holy' tree where they are later burned. Have many at one tree on the highway to the village house. Cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Scrutinizer Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Pete, Sounds like you are healing up well! Great. Glad to hear it. We will be celebrating the New Year in the village this year with family. Decided against the long drive down to Patters or Bangkok. Will avoid all the drunk drivers. We'll hole up in the village house with family and get smashed! :: I also have quite a few people coming up this way the next few weeks. ND says he may be around this way, and another friend and his lady as well. Dum Soda is supposed to drop by soon as well, and Suadum too. I'll probably head to Pattaya/Jomtien in late January or early Feb. Leave for Boston on March 15th for a few weeks. Back after 15th of April. Do the taxes and stuff like that while over there. Then back here until September some time. We'll see you soon Pete. Have fun in the sun and in the waters of Jomtien! Cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous_Dog Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 We'll also be drpping in somewhere between XMas and New year, will let you know closer to the date, but keen to replicate some of the places you pointed Old Poof at.

Central Scrutinizer Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 ND, No problem. Let me know when you arrive as I said on the phone. We'll be here. Looking forward to it. Wife was excited when I told her. Should be fun! Cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limbo Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 So I'm gonna win a contest with no prices. Just great. Ah, well, participating is more important than winning or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaad Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 exactly And (once again) I'll try to put my money where my mouth is and come up with 2 pics for the upcoming contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
