Legacy Letter October 2012

22 July 2017 – Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, FOURTH OF JULY IN THAILAND – Thailand does not have an independence day, since the kingdom of Thailand never broke away from anyone.

Here is what Seng Pan wrote to me: “Thaungoo to Mandalay 8 hours, Mandalay to Kachin state Hopin town (18 hours by train), Hopin to NaMawn 1 hour by motorcycles. It takes two nights and two days long. We can go by bus too, more quick one and half day long but, more expensive.”
