From Karen 23-Feb-2007 Bangkok
We're now back in Bangkok for a brief rest before beginning our final week in Thailand. Since visiting the Karen village we have been to two Lisu villages, an Akha village, a lowland farmer near Chiang Rai, stayed by the Mekong for two nights, had a boat ride on the Mekong and talked with Uncle Sao (77 year old wise man of the river), visited a Lahu village, two community forest projects in the Mekong catchment.... back to Bangkok last night then straight to a small monastery 2-3 hours north-east, talked with a Buddhist monk this morning then back to Bangkok to our 'home away from home" at the Phranakorn-Nornlen hotel. We've met some wonderful people and done a lot more filming. I'll be writing a more detailed update and sending some photos to post tomorrow once I've had a good sleep!!

Bangkok
We safely arrived in Bangkok last night and were brought to the peaceful haven of the Phranakorn Nornlen Hotel (www.phranakorn-nornlen.com) where we are being very well looked after. The owner, Vasiraran Mahakayi (Rose), and her husband are very dedicated to the environment and have established a foundation (see www.rabbitinthemoon.org) as part of this comittment.
We spent today visiting the Grand Palace, the reclining buddha, visiting part of China town and a few other sights. We did some filming along the way.
Tomorrow morning we're on the train to Chumphon Cabana.
