Thought you guys might like to see some of these pics. I've been living way out in Isaan the last 6 months with the gf getting my grind on, not a whole lot to do but sometimes see some cool stuff, and obviously ridic cheap. They have these rocket things on like everywhere now for the next few months apparently and everyone goes and bets like crazy on if the rocket will stay up for a certain time or not. Teams of people build the rockets and then typically bet their own rocket heavily, if they are pretty established then sometimes they will rig their rocket to fail and take the other side, or someone else will bribe them. Thais are such sicko degen gamblers, i'd wish I could start a casino here...., theres actually some serious money changing hands and apparently some of the bets are for 1 m baht or more, my gf knows some woman who pretty much bet all her land and lost it all. A new rocket will go up every half hour and they drop all over the place when they come back down, i think they cause quite a few accidents. A few of the rockets i saw just broke apart a couple seconds after launch and everyone scurries under trees, tables and puts chairs over their heads, the plastic chairs should save us
. I picked 5/6 rockets I bet on correctly, but then my gf blew my winning listening to randoms and buddha or whatever and betting on others
