Not sure this is a subject for the blog but I wanted to show you all how very very basic everything is for the families at the dump.
On all my previous trips to Mae Sot I never saw where people go to the bathroom at the dump, this trip I have. As would be expected they just walk off to an isolated area squat and do their business, no paper, no drama. The young children of 1-2-3 years old just walk outside their shack squat in front and deficate. I saw the bride today use. a garbaged CD and a piece of thin cardboard to clean up two droppings by her young son. She took it all and threw it into a nearby less traveled area.
