I went to an amazing fishing village that usually floats on the river but since it's the dry season, there isn't much water meaning the houses are on stilts.
It was amazing. I went to a school and gave out books pencils and notebooks, met with local monks, learned how the village functions and also went to a fishing village where people live 90% on boats.
This was insane. I have never seen anything like it. The houses were built so high off the ground because of flooding and the rainy season and it took my breath away. The village runs completely on fish and fish farming. There were 4 small schools and everyone was very open to meeting foreigners.
It killed me when I was handing out the notebooks and there weren't enough for all the kids so I gave out more. I want to help these people as much as I can. They need people who want to help. They need people willing to work to help others do something with their lives.
After a long hot day in the villages, I was taken to a local pool hall and met some locals and dank some local beer and food. It was a long hot day which came to 99 degrees.
