Description:
This is my mother's birthplace. It was where my maternal grandparents lived until their deaths in their late 90's. The area they lived in were all farm land. Quite rural. The village is tucked away in one of section of those lands. For the longest time there were any telephones coming in to the village. There was only one phone available at the Buddhist temple in the center of the village. The monks would announce on the loud speaker every time someone called for one of the residents in the village. They all had cell phones way even way before the local government put in a land line.
My mom youngest sister, my aunt, lives in a more developed area of Kanchanaburi. Another older sister raised her family in the center of town. It was here that my mom spent her adolescent years.
