We're in Chiang Mai!
After spending Sabbath in Bangkok we were going to go to visit a place on sunday where they help victims of child trafficking. Sunday morning the vans we'd hired didn't come! So we put it off until Monday. Then Monday we went on the 3 hour trip to visit the children's home. We didn't get to see the kids very much because they were in school, but it was amazing to see how God has been working there.
Then Tuesday morning we took a bus from Bangkok to Mae Sot. We stayed the night in a guest house and then the next day we took a Songthaew out to Sunshine Orchard. A Songthaew is like a pickup truck with a rack over the top and seats on the sides of the truck bed. We got on one that was half full already. We got all our luggage and a total of 21 people on it! (I'll post pictures later.)
The time at Sunshine Orchard was good. The time flew by and we couldn't be with the kids much because it was during exams. But it was great to see friends and the place that my parents were in Nov. (click Here to learn more about Sunshine Orchard)
We left Sunshine orchard at about 5AM sunday morning bound for Mae Sot. (about 2 hours) We got there in plenty of time to get the 8AM bus that brought us to Chiang Mai. We arrived at about 4PM and have been here since then visiting the TV studio here.
We're headed back to Bangkok tonight on the night bus and hopefully I'll update more there with some pictures.
