Two days ago I visited a village that was tucked away in the mountains along the Laos border. It was 1.5 hrs away along a very windy road that went through a couple of mountain ranges. This place was the most remote Thai Lue village I’ve been to. Since the mountains were so close by, cell phone coverage was non-existent.
After arriving I met a man who was very helpful in telling me about his locale. Most of the people there were farmers. Lychee and Corn were the main cash crops. It was a poorer community (at least compared to our area) with no walls or fences marking the borders of each property.
