The Real Thai experience Mae Sot (Border of Burma)
oops wrong stop
01.12.2007
Well i sat on the bus to Mae sot at 21.00 on 30 November 2007, there were no tourist on here i was not a\sure why, though maybe they will all be there when i get here? uhhmm wrong.
I arrived in Mae sot at 5.00 am 1st December and got a Tuck Tuck to the a guest house recommended by the nice young man at bus station. this was a lovely guest house with very clean and nice rooms, a young girl about 11 years old took me to my room, then i slept again for about 5 hours. When i Finlay got up went out on the porch are to use the Internet, i expected to see lots of English European backpackers, but no there were non. Fortunately the man who owned the place spoke good English and told me they dont really get backpackers here, so that's when i realised i was at the Wrong place. But still very nice hostel. The man call Bun took me to the local villi age in his car and let me shop around the markets for an hour, i was the only White folk in sight everyone was staring at me like they never see white skin before ah ha, Were the market was i could actually see Burma, it was the border were they occasionally open it for people to cross, dangerous sorry if your reading this dad but never the less it was safe enough. Once i got back the the hostel i took a ride a\on a push bike to the local bus station to get a ticket out of there. On my way there was many vans taking refugees to the local camps ah, they were all laughing at me, white girl on a push bike in the middle of this place very funny.
Any way i left Mae sot at 5.30 the next morning to arrive in Chain mai.
