Carabao Concert

Carabao are the biggest thing in Thai music since, hmmm well since hmmm, anywayyy. Was quite a big deal for these guys to come and play in Mae Sariang. Carabao are the one of the most popular bands in Thailand - they’ve been on the go for around twenty years.

We heard reports that the kids can go a bit crazy at Carabao concerts, maybe something to do with the fact that they are sponsored by Chang Beer. Was good fun, the only worrying thing was kids wandering around carrying huge water buffalo skulls. It's the band's logo I think. We were well looked after though, it felt like we had our own police guard; one of ninety police officers there took it upon himself to follow us around and the Thai army were also standing by. I’m not sure what they were expecting. By all accounts this is the first big concert that’s been held here in Mae Sariang certainly the first carabao concert, and there looked to be around four thousand people. Not sure though. Was a good night, drank way too much beer Chang, singing along in Thai, oh dear.
