Tonight we leave the bustle and relative comfort of Bangkok, and taking a 10 hour night bus to Chiang Mai. From there we spend another 5 hours in the back of a pickup truck driven by our friend Jaya untill we get to the small town of Om Koi, which is surrounded by Hill tribe areas and Thai countryside. We'll spend at least a few weeks up here helping the local community in the school and probably visiting the hill tribes, teaching English and doing what we can. We dont really know what to expect, but we're excited nonetheless. Om koi is a small town so we dont expect to have that much access to Internet and phones- I have a feeling a little isolation could be good thing right now...
If we dont make it back, its more than likely that Quinny has become the leader of a pack of wild bores, Ali is a Hill tribe chief with seven wives, and I've opened a stall selling iced coffe's to the locals.
Peace to the south east
Boc, Ali, David
