    We were there last year and because of a massive fire that burned half the village down, we were unable to visit. We were told that they would have it completely rebuilt in less than a week! Truly, a self-contained community! And a beautiful part of Thailand! Thanks for sharing 😍

      Baby immigrant to Canada, who learned barely growing up thou realized as young adult, trying to reflect more in my forties how much the first persons, natives, Métis, Inuit went thru here
      It’s saddens me at moments watching these amazing worldly cultures because I question the absence of that. How may it look different here in Canada. And like those, what could we learn from them?
      It scary because under ruling of what should be leadership globally there’s many atrocities.. this creates trauma over generations yet I can still see the heart of all being good which has hope

    Wow the tsunami survival story was just incredible. I remember seeing the surge and devastation from the news back in 04 from the Philippines. It's amazing that through reading nature's signs none of them perished. Another amazing video Mark, thank you for letting us immerse in their culture through your videos. God speed. 😊 watching you from Southern California.
