Absolutely fantastic to see the community all come together for this event, this is what the world needs more of, now more than ever 🙏🏽

[@lifeinruralthailand]

I agree my friend 🙏

[@dragonnetmedia]

I am so delighted and humbled by the Thai people's humanity and uniqueness. Being a Sri Lankan Buddhist and married to a Vietnamese wife and also traveling around Indochina, it's the first time I have heard of and seeing this very localized traditional custom. I guess this VLOG deserves a million views! Thanks for bringing unique Thailand to the world. ❤❤❤

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@isanBen]

Blessings to you and yours 🙏🥰🇹🇭🥳

[@gorloff]

It is just fantastic to see, I always tell my family and friends in our village not to give up on their traditional ceremonies. It shows how the community comes together in everything from birth to death.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

That’s right my friend 🙏🙏

[@southpaw1755]

That was one of the most beautiful Thai ceremonies that I've ever watched. I hope that people everywhere will see this. If you experience enough Thai tradition it will change you inside for the better. It has me.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

For sure 🙏

[@johnsingleton1623]

I have been to the Rural area of the Loei Province where my girlfriend lives and they cook in an open kitchen. I admit I was taken back a little at first by this, but that didn't last long at all. Like you said, I was used to the western sanitary standards. I have eaten many delicious meals now of her cooing, her mother's cooking and from the street food venders and have never gotten sick. Spending time in there has changed me, I used to be the person who wanted the have the very best of everything I buy. Now after experiencing the Thai way of life, how happy the Thai people are the sense of community, it has changed me.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

[@masterk5372]

Nice 👍

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Simple life is the most meaningful

[@vassanab4243]

Even in rich home, there are separated kitchen, the Thai kitchen and western kitchen, you can’t cook Thai food with all that spice and heavy smoke in western kitchen.

[@vassanab4243]

And by western standard it may come with high chemical and preservative which are not good for health

[@michaelluxton9179]

I lived in rural Thailand for 20 years and thought I had seen most ceremonies but this was new to me. Great video Ryan. Absolutely love rural Thailand videos. Keep them coming.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Glad you enjoyed it thanks!

[@Tyler_Thailand]

Wow. I didn’t realize how much more there is to learn about Thailand, or Isaan. And the video production is levels above when I first started watching, felt more like a mini documentary.

This brought overwhelming tears to my eyes, the beauty, dedication, honour they bestow on each other is truly magical. We in the West have lost all sense of community & honour towards our ancestors. Thank you Ryan

[@ninettemurk7492]

This surely is one of the best episodes so far, Thai people ar so wise and kind. Blessed to be able to watch such a ceremony for close. I don't think the ceremony only lasts a few hours- when you count all the preparations etc that make for such a good community feeling, it's more like a week. Thank you for this video, Damo and Ryan.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thank you so much 🙏

Been to a few ceremonies now with my Thai wife's family, I too enjoy the monk chanting, very soothing. Seen a different and living a different lifestyle than the west, absolutely love it. This ceremony was cracking! Thanks for recording and sharing 😊❤😊

One of the most amazing events l have ever seen, ceremony or otherwise. The sheer amount of calm, dedicated, beautiful happiness in their work by the villagers was a real treat to see. The traditional dancing and comedy on the stage was just fabulous. l loved your narration and patient explanations of the events, it made this video special.

Great video. Amazing how the villagers come together as a hive mind. We did this for my wifes grandma when we went to Thailand last year. My wife was so proud to finally be able to afford it. When she told me a band was coming with a big stage I was like OMG. I'm not one for big parties but this one was a big party as it was the first big gathering like that in her village because of Covid. I think a little money went into the District Chiefs pocket, lol. Can't wait to show my wife this video when she wakes up, you did one hell of a job Ryan!!!

[@AcD15]

Wow, that was a fantastic mini documentary, thank you Ryan and Damo, - really, very well put together. I remember attending a similar all nighter ceremony some years ago in Buriram but not quite like this (I've not seen the playing dead part before or the construction of an actual pagoda/chedi). Damo's grandmother must have been a really highly venerated lady in the community. I always enjoy a bit of Likay / ลิเก . It's great fun to watch, especially if you do a bit of pre - reading on Thai folklore stories like Khun Chang and Khun Phaen or maybe the Ramakien derived from the Hindu epic the Ramayana + maybe a dram or two of something imbibing. Fascinating to watch the villagers switch effortlessly between at least 3 different languages (or four if you count Pali when joining in with the chanting). Thomas Hardy wrote about a similar way of life here in rural Dorset. Sadly it doesn't exist anymore and only a very few retain natural use of the dialect. I hope the rural Thai, Lao Isaan and especially the rural Upper Khmer and Kuy/Suay speaking people of the lower North East of Thailand are able to retain their unique countryside cultures, dialects and languages long into the future.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thanks for watching 🙏

This was incredibly beautiful to see. Thank you so much for bringing us along to see such a rare, amazing and very sacred site!

[@lifeinruralthailand]

[@audsy017]

Just beautiful and heart warming. I love the chanting of the monks. My husband passed away suddenly in January in Thailand and we had a Buddhist funeral and cremation with the monks at the local temple,(nothing on this scale) we have friends both thai and English who arranged it for me and I found it so calming and peaceful. The love of the community coming together warms my heart ♥

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thank you so much!

[@virgiliod.9436]

The Philippines has the same culture but we call it "bayanihan" which literally mean "everyone willingly becomes a martyr" - everybody works for free for a fellow man. This term is profoundly used to relocating a whole house and all its contents on the shoulders of men to a new location. It is also used when everyone works for a common goal.

[@PierreLyons506]

That was an incredible experience! Such a beautiful ceremony, and the community coming together to help make it happen seems to be a major part of it. It's a much more elaborate ceremony than I was expecting; I was shocked when you said how long the show was going to last 😲 It's so nice for everyone to get to be part of a rare event, and we are lucky that you took us along as well. Thank you Ryan, Damo, Otis, and Hugo. Much love ❤

I share with all of the comments put before me here. I am so overwhelmed with joy and happy tears. Brought to mind how we should all be honoring those who have gone before us. This was spectacular to see and the stage show reminded me of the movie, "The King and I" when Thailand was Siam and they danced with the same body and hand movements. WOW!! Your children have blessings beyond imaginations when they are able to experience these wonderful "ceremonies" and traditions. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. Love to Damo, her parents and her family....Her Grandma has arrived safely in heaven and we can all rejoice!! WOW!! Big Love... 🤗💖🙏🛕

[@lifeinruralthailand]

[@CampBlanc]

I am trying to catch up with watching vlogs you've posted and I just watched this one. Honestly it made me emotional to see the strong bond Thai people have with each other in local communities, all chipping in and helping out to make the ceremony special. Something many people all over the world could learn from. And special it was! In 2019 when my wife and me were in Thailand for a 3 week holiday, we also attended a local funeral in changwat Chantaburi which lasted for 3 days. It was a very special experience because I never attended one before. The ceremony they did for Damo's grandmother was huge and impressive and very to me very humbling to watch, not anywhere near the funeral I've attended. It seems like she was a well known and deeply respected member in your community? Thanks for taking us viewers with you on this special and unique occasion สาธุๆๆครับ​🙏🏻

[@lifeinruralthailand]

yes she was Patrick :)

[@WanderlustReports]

Ryan, you are truly privileged to be able to attend such a ceremony, and Damo, your family organized it superbly! This allows us to know a little more about Thai culture, in particular all those people who lie down under a shroud so that they can also enjoy a little of the honor given to Damo's grandmother.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thank you and i completely agree my friend!

Hi dear boy, good to have you back on form…. I’m always inspired by your vlogs and your outlook on life …. I’m living in rural Thailand not far from Yasothon where we’re currently doing the house up and I noticed in your village walk about vlog at the beginning you walked passed I assume a family house on stilts that had a spiral staircase…..where did that come from cos we quite fancy one. Thanks again for entertaining us with your life style. Keep smiling All the best 🙏

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful insight into one of the dying traditions inan Isaan village. It has been a real privelige to have been taken along on the journey. I just love the whole community joiningt together to make this happen. As regards the show in the evening, my daughter who is just about to graduate from Mahasarakham University Faculty of Fine and Dramatic Arts, oftentakes part in events like this as a way of supplementing her studies. She is an amazing dancer and sometimes the performances go on for many hours and are physically very demanding. I am so proud of her for keeping Thai traditions going. May God bless the whole family at this time of celebrating as grandmother at last finds her way to heaven 😀🙏❤

I've been to a Thai (Issan - Buriram) family dinner and to a Thai wedding. I've been in the rice fields and the tilapia fish farms. But this is an even deeper and amazing insight into real Thai community life. We will be settling down in Thailand in the near future. Seeing these videos just makes me want to make it happen sooner.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

We don’t know haha but in Thai ลิเก 😊🇹🇭🙏

[@My2Baht]

@@lifeinruralthailand found it... ลิเก = LIKAY; Likay is a form of popular folk theatre from Central Thailand. Its uniqueness is found in the combination of extravagant costumes with barely equipped stages and vaguely determined storylines, so that the performances depend mainly on the actors' skills of improvisation and the audiences' imagination.

In reference to your foodborne illness statement. I’ve only been out of the United States a couple of times, Mexico and the Caribbean.

People ask me how can you eat that street food when I take photos when I’m traveling? I am recovering right now from foodborne illness from something bad on a pizza of all things. I’ve literally had the scours for two days now!!! I’m so looking forward to a trip to Thailand and all over Southeast Asia . I definitely will bring my Pepto-Bismol pills lol just in case!!!
