Host family in Huay Hee

Adorable Huay Hee host family.
The paved road through the village.

Huay Hee, seems a lot more metropolitan than the others (probably because it has a paved road). Still our bathroom has no door and drainage was obviously not taken into account when the concrete bottom was installed. I had to take a bucket shower in my pasin (a wrap around piece of cloth) in a puddle of cold water. Our host family is adorable and very young. Our host mother is 27 and our host father 23 (only 2 years older than me!). They have a three year old son who is an absolute terror. He played with us when we first arrived by showing off with his ax and then pretended to shoot with a piece of wood that he used as a gun. His redeeming quality is that he is possibly the cutest kid I have ever seen in my entire life. He has big bright eyes and an endearing smile. He’s too young to go to school, so he doesn’t speak any Thai yet and we don’t speak any Backenyaw (except for hello/goodbye/thank you, which isDa bpluegh and incredibly fun to say), so we communicate through facial expressions and actions. Words aren’t really needed to play.
