Did an extra buy of goods to hand out to the families. Tomorrow I will go to the dump at 6am, then leave Mae Sot at 1pm to return to Bangkok.
I bought enough food to separate into 4 bags, for 4 houses. Tonight bought
- 10 kilos of rice (2.5 kilos per donated house bag).
- 15 cans of rice (along with the 5 I had at the hotel)
- 6 bottles of shampoo.
- noodles
Cost 721 baht
To the bags I will add anything I have left in the hotel including toothbrushes, soap and shavers I got from my stay at the nice hotel in Bangkok (everyday was putting the new daily, room change supplies in my suitcase.)
So tomorrow will be last day.
I also intend to buy 10 more headlamps which are expensive, 3500 baht. Everyone is asking me for headlamps so that I would do a big buy the last day. One lady also asked me for eye drops, will see if I can buy those for her tomorrow as well.
Will miss my friends here. I need to pay for my motorbike rental as well. That comes out of my own funds not the donation money. That will be a very reasonable 700 baht ($4 CAD a day).
Met some really great people in Mae Sot this trip. The best part of these photographic journeys for me are the people you meet along the way!
