Another day of homestay in Ban Nam Phre. It was already 4 pm when I reached here, the sky is threatening with a thunder storm looming anytime. Doesn't want to get caught, so I rode into one of the house to try my luck for a stay. No disappointment with my first attempt, I was invited to join the owner and another 2 friends for some sticky rice and Lao whisky ( Samsom ). I was reluctant but to show my goodwill, I drank 3-4 round and feeling high , straight I went to the bed to rest. But later I was awakened by big noise of shouting and kicking, I saw 3-4 people trying to keep the owner calm by carrying him by the hands and legs. The owner was not in his normal self after too much Samsom, I was spared luckily! While the owner was put to bed, I join his wife and daughters for dinner, shower in the open tap and went to bed early.
