Place: Village of migrate Karen people in North Thailand
17 th Oct 2013
After one night terrible journey, I finally arrived Hauy Xai and leave Laos to Chiang Kong!
I was so excited to went north Thailand, and this place really make me felt great. After passing Thai border, i was looking a budget way to Chiang Mai, a tuk tuk driver there was friendly and has clear explanations what the different for a direct Van to Chiang Mai and public bus. They really tried to make you a day.
Another nice people was the van driver, who was passion to all guest. One Laos family were not really clear where the location they want to go, the driver was try to help get another transport make them easy to get way. Although this make the journey slow, but we really understood and enjoy it.
After 5 hours journey, I met others group members in Chiang Mai finally. Funny things was happen! Bro Chung cant reconige me, just because I was so dark after one month travel :P haha, but this never make us down, we keep follow bro Chung to pick up others member, shopping and dinner.
I was so thankfull to met up these members and had a fine vegetarian style dinner together. Bro Chung was nice to share his life experience and make us had some good advice for coming trip. The night still young but I was tired and bed early with my roomates. Yeah, we look forward for the coming trip!
notes:
1. Please try get a real sleeping bus which can lay down From Luang Pranbang to Hauy Xai, or you will only seat a bus whole night with all local. The company also will lets as many as passager into bus possible with their on chair, but is not really much different price ticket via the travel agent，so ask before buy.
2. The bus from Luang Prabang not stop on the border, but Bor Keoy where still need to transit with tuk tuk( cost 10,000kip)/ walk maybe 30 minutes.
3. The boat ticket from Laos border to Thai border can pay with Thai bath，the journey only 5 minutes.

We had departure from Chiang Mai to south west border at 9am，and the journay was taken time around 7 hours. We bought a lot vegetables along the road, and it was fun with these members，they were funny and kind , I really hopefully join them in same car, but unfortunately i was seat with another :P
The most hard way was going up to the villange on the mountain, was really make a good challenge to our bro Chung, but he did a good job and prof he was a really experience driver. Just use few minutes, we were in the village.
This was a real local village, which almost no torism visit. No power supplies, no water supplies, a real village life begin officially. We cook before sunset, and really wanna thanks for the village children who help us to take water from rivers, if not we maybe no water for showers...
I really fall in love with this lovely place. I could see my shadow just in moonlight, amazing! I really hopefully you were there and i could share the awesome to you!
notes:
1. If you wanna join this charity group, just make sure you can be a vegetarian at least 4 days, cuz only vegetarians food provide/ or you can bring your own food.
2. Be respect what the group leader do for the peoples, if you feel unconfortable just walk away.
3. This not a leisure tour, that is only basic life supplies, so think twice before join and take care yourself before you can take care others.

I woke up around 6am, and the people was start to work. We had a quick breakfast and join them. We separate to 2 parts, one group to help improve class room and another one was distribute the clothes we bring. They never complaint and said anything for what we did, they just look and appreacite what people did for them. Most of time, they still join us to build the school. We really never did too much, but learn a lot from them.
Actually, they can make their beautiful own clothes but they never disgusted with the old clothes we given. They plant their own and eat what they plant. They know how to appreciate natural and used natural given. They also very sincere to their religion, and welcomed us to join them.
They allow us to visit their temple, and lead us to there. The night was come early, and a lot lovely children tried join us and lead us to there. We need to take off our shoes before entry the gate of temple. we really felt we were fortunately, was a festival celebrate there. I could feel the warn energy in these cold night, and maybe this was the reason every people looks felt great there.
Warning: be careful to leech, a lot there.

We done our project around afternoon, and after that bro Chung lead us to visit others village. It was first time, i sat on top of car. It was first time, I played with a pigest. It was first time, I saw a kitchen with a pig family sticky together. It was a great memories to me...
We move up to top of mountain, and had the first camping in my life. Was pleaty cool here, we had a simply dinner and start to share our life experience and story for this trip. I enjoyed and felt great with these crazy fellow!
Bro Chung has some ideas on how to create communities and help raise living standards for the villages. He hopefully to wake people caring about healty issues, so he always share the healty knowledge what he know.
It is not just a charity or volunteer events we given but a good chance for us to learn from here. I really appreacite for the oppoturnity to join this trip and make some good friends here. Before this trip, I still worry about is only the government job to look after the poor or that only rich people can make a different but now i understood that, there's always something i can do. I cant direct make them rich or good substance given but I can help through everthing what I know.
