We're in Mae Sariang--mid-way to Mae Hong Son. Our team stands as 22 students, 3 student helpers, 2 teaching assistants and 1 professor at the moment, and we'll be further split into smaller teams of 3-4 once we reach Mae Hong Son to work on our respective research topics on a particular community.
We took a 5-6 hour song taew ride up North yesterday, and I had to put up with a queasy journey for more than half of it--not a pleasant journey at all. So nothing much happened yesterday except for travelling and dinner at a little eating place which sold pork ball noodles and wanton mee (Thai-style).
Saying our goodbyes to Smile House, and posing for a shot with the lady who took care of us for every single day we were there.
Herman and I among the trees. Pardon the messy hair--it was the long song taew ride!
On the song taew!
Our convoy of red taxis!
Song taew uncle on the song taew helping us with our bags.
Little old lady selling coconut desserts outside 7-eleven for 10baht a pack. We got the one on the left which tasted like agar-agar.
The Thai PM! Haha, missing out all the action from the Thai elections.
The sign says either Welcome to Mae Sariang or Bon Voyage. Apparently, Mae Sariang is a border town, so you need to walk around with a passport because you never know when there'll be a spotcheck.
Our dodgy bedroom with a squeaky ceiling fan, dusty floors and a variety of pesky insects--including an invincible cockroach.
The lobby of our guesthouse (Mitaree). Jacintha and I gave it half-star. Ha.
