On Sunday, we went to a local women’s correctional centre for a massage. We had read about it our lonely planet book and decided to give it a try. The women have committed minor crimes and while they serve their sentence they are given opportunities to learn specialized skills such as massaging and crafting. All the money they make from the work is given to them when they are released. Jodie and I both got foot massages and enjoyed the pampering. In the afternoon and early evening we played Songhran which included watching the parade and joining in the massive water fight! We managed to find some buckets that became much more useful than our wimpy water guns. So we spent hours being soaked and soaking others. We also met up with some fellow Canadian along the way. Anyways, thats all for now, my hands are tired from all this typing. We are not sure about Laos yet, so the next couple of days are a bit up in the air.
Sending love from Thailand,
Misty
