Khun Kitti now has a rice paddy near Khon San, about an hour outside of Tung Ka Mang. Some of Team Macaque and Team Langur took an adventure there last week. It is more than a little off the beaten track and it put the four wheel drive vehicles to the test (See the picture of Rich and the macaque mobile- too bad it had just been washed!). Khun Kitti, Sebastian and I opted for bare feet for our tour but Carola and Rich had a great time in their wellington boots. Khun Kitti has built a small, open-air pavilion where we sat and enjoyed the sunset despite the rain. He has also dug two swimming holes and has other plans for the site. We’ve made plans to go back for the rice harvest in a few months so I’ll post more pictures then!
Ok. Now I know it is all "native" or whatever to go barefoot in a rice paddy. But seriously---aren't there crazy snakes. Not to mention your "invisible leech socks" don't work in rice paddies!
