Many of the children and their families donrsquot own a single photograph of themselves. We underestimated how excited the children would be with this new and strange activity. After the morning http://www.travelblog.org//Asia/Thailand/North/Samoeng/blog-235186.html Does your mom drive a motorcycle Do you own a helicopter Do you have an elephant These are just a few of the candid questions children in the village of Baan Kew Sua ask of Westerners. They would not be at all shocked if we answered yes to any of them theyrsquove seen how Westerners live on TV. Anyone remember Hart to Hart The kids are adorable and hungry to learn. The staff at Kew S http://www.travelblog.org//Asia/Thailand/North/Samoeng/blog-228029.html THIS is how it should be. 20 hours in transit our bags prechecked through seamlessly passed security smoothly and with no glitches. Our seats were comfy no squalling babies around us and we earplugged took our Benadryl and slept about half the journey away. Only 3 people ahead of us in the immigration line and we were checked into room 2412 of the sumptuous Peninsula Hotel Bangkok 2006 http://www.travelblog.org//Asia/Thailand/North/Samoeng/blog-221761.html
