Mae Sot Trip: Day Three
Last Friday morning I woke up feeling lots better. Once again, we headed off to Casa Mia for breakfast where I had the fruit, yogurt, muesli. I also purchased one of the painting that were on display for my father by ‘Oliver’. A local artist and photographer, Tim, organized a series of art classes for six of the local migrant schools and final competition. He hopes to expand the program soon to include more schools.
Afterwards we headed of for the new Hsa Thoo Lei Orphanage School construction site to check on it’s progress. Things are going quickly, belly man kicks ass. Then we headed out of town to Huay Nam Khun Nursery School to deliver clothing and toys. This was by far the most entertaining part of the trip—the children were lots of fun and we took many pictures which you can see in the picture gallery.
Needing to get an early start for ‘home’ because Daniel does not like to drive the Volkswagen in the dark on the Thai highways, we left shortly after noon for Chiang Mai. Along the way there was a farang VIP bus that we took some pictures of. He he he. The people on the bus were pretty funny about it all. At sunset I also took some interesting, blurry pictures.
