eye-opening lovely and kind people excitement
People in the community are so kind and nice. The perception of Klong Toey slum and 70 rai were portrayed mostly in the news and movie "sia dai" as full of drug addicts and theives and these are not true at all.

Unique Eye opening Humbling
This trip is special because you can understand what it’s like to live in this environment. It also helps change your perception about people from slum areas. Khun Arm was an excellent translator and guide. Kuhn Fai +Tam were gracious hosts to us.
