Hitchhiker Pro

Back to Mae Sot!  I was running out of time on my visa but still wanted to do a trek in Umphang and do some shopping in Bangkok for supplies I'd need for Cambodia and the rest of my trip.

It wasn't tough getting a ride.  The two men who picked me up were not Thai nationals but I knew they had something to do with the resistance fighting across the border.  I had to buy the both of them lunch in return for the ride.  I'm not complaining but don't they know the primary reason for hitching... free ride!  I guess that day they did get a free lunch.

I thought of hitching to Umphang but changed my mind given the heat of the day.  I stayed in Mae Sot and had a delicious curry dinner.
