There are many rural areas in Isaan, Thailand, where you may be the first white foreigner they have ever seen.
There will be plenty of excitement, fascination and older folks just wanting to touch you.
The real fascination is when Isaan kids see a white person for the first time.
Some will be terrified and hide behind their parents.
Other’s will just give you their stare of disbelief at what they are seeing.
It is quite fun and harmless.
To them you are nothing short of an alien.
