Day 24

Chiang Rai, Thailand


Walked to forest center, like a tea house. then to a Lahu village -- Jaelae -- to watch a man smoke opium. Had to cross river then to the Mae Sai waterfall and back to the forest center for a long afternoon nap. Then steep hike THROUGH jungle (what Marc calls a Viet Nam experience) to Akha Village called Adu. Two fireplaces, one for tea, "people" the other for drying meats, etc. Had to pass through gate - evil spirits. Children spoke English and French, sang row, row, row your boat adn Frere Jacques. They sang for us after dinner (Oot gave candy) and we taught them 99 bottles of beer (starting with 10). then massages -- different style than Yao -- into coins and silver.
