Staff party in the mansion I'm staying

I was invited to a staff party of the people who are working in the mansion I'm having an apartment. Most of these people are coming from Isan, the north-east part of Thailand. They come to Bangkok for work, so they can make a living and support there families.

Most of the time they speak "Phasa Isan", which usually is a Thai dialect of the Laos language. It's difficult enough to understand Thai, but when they talk there language, it's impossible to understand... :-)

It's not uncommon, that people in Isan earn less than 1'000 Bath per month, while in Bangkok they can earn about five times as much.
