I took the day to explore the area around Mae Sariang. Mae Sariang lies in a flat valley obviously dominated by agriculture. There are a lot of beautiful views and equally beautiful people. I spent about two hours chatting over lunch. The lady that runs the food stall was very curious and interested in trying to talk with me. Because of the language barrier what could have taken a brief twenty minutes was drawn out into a Thai language course, all to my benefit. The patrons that came and went joined in the conversation and added their insights to the topic at hand.
We settled on agreeing that clothes in Thailand are cheaper than in South Africa. And much cheaper than in Japan.
I told Kitti I'd volunteer at his village that evening.
