The north of Thailand is beautiful and there is a lot of poverty. They are close to Myanmar. I taught Chinese at Datong Middle School in Thailand, northern Man Xingdie. This area has many Ethnic tribes living in high mountains.
Once I went to the border of Myanmar and Thailand to visit an elementary school of Chinese. We passed 4 borders check point to the school. One for Thailand inspection station, the other for the north of Thai inspection station, Myanmar inspection station, Dai national minority inspection station. The school is controlled by the army of Dai national minority. The people who live here are simple and happy to live there.
Facing poverty is shocking. I have seen it on TV or movies but this particular opportunity let me see it and live in the middle of it to experience it. This was a wonderful trip to experience God's compassionate love. Thanks and Praised The Lord!
