12th October: Fireballs in Style...

If you are coming
to Nong Khai to
see the Maekong
Fireballs on Tuesday, 30th of October 2012
why not travel down to Phon Phisai (where the Fireballs can be seen) in style. Cruising on the Maekong River on our boat, "The Nagarina", Pao, my wife, is organising an elegant afternoon lunch and a banquet dinner on the way back. On the silent river at night Fireballs may be visible.

There are places for just sixty people to sail the 55 kilometres from Nong Khai to Phon Phisai along the Maekong River. During the approximately four hour trip you will be served a beautiful late lunch. We shall leave Nong Khai at 1.00pm and arrive in Phon Phisai in the late afternoon .We will pass some of the wilder parts of the Maekong where few people live.

Pao is organising wonderful meals on board featuring a range of international Asian dishes together with some local Isan recipes. And she loves making sweets, so there will be a range of delicious desserts too. Moreover, we are planning to set up a bar down on the lower decks for you to purchase our classic Maekong cocktails. There can't be a more fun way to arrive at Phon Phisai to see the festival!

We arrive in Phon Phisai in the late afternoon, in time to see the crowds and the stalls of the festival along the riverbank. The Fireballs usually first appear around 7.30 pm after dark and shoot up once in a while until around 10.00pm. Around that time we will start the journey home.

And on the way home we will offer a beautiful banquet on board the Nagarina with everyone sitting down together on one long table. After this comes a very long night's cruise when you might get a chance to spot a fireball on the silent river. Now the tables will be packed away and you can lounge on cushions, or go down to the bar for a cocktail.

So come join the festival in style, and put your name down for a touch of elegant fun! Dress to match the occasion if you wish! Just send us an email to mutmee@mutmee.com and we will send you instructions and place your name on our list!

The price of the trip including, boat trip, late lunch out and dinner back, one glass of wine (but excluding cocktails from the bar), and lounge trip snoozing on the boat to Nong Khai is 2700 Baht per person. Payment to be made in advance. For further information write to the email address above and Julian will reply quickly.
