 Travelling on the roof of a truck down the death highway near Burma My knuckles turn white as I grip the bar on the roof and nod to the three men standing beside me. It’s a cool January morning as we slowly drive past the Mae Sot Police Station. I look down at my feet to make sure I’m securely standing on the tailgate. The sawngthaew (a covered pick-up truck with two lines of benches) slows and we turn south towards the village of Umphang. I bend down to stretch my back and see twenty-five woman, children and old men sitting or laying on two small bench seats. Well what can I say about Thailand? A land of contrasts to be sure. From the Burmese border in the north to the islands in the Gulf of Thailand. Every place has its own unique feel. Hot and dusty to humid and wet. One thing that remains constant is the friendliness of the people.  It's the best way to keep warm right? |
