TEAR OUT AND KEEP AS A HANDY REFERENCE
James H. Currie writes
Bangkok, Thailand,
Feb. ' 4th, 1968.
Dear Sisters:
• Arrived here on February 1st
at ° night. Next morning at 5:30
we started our tour. by bus, 65 ..-
miles to Sriraja. The road fol-
lows the canal By ,morning
light we could see little skiffs
fishing. Their shacks were built
on the edge of the canal, two
or three feet off the ground.
Some have little wharfs jutting
into the water. A complicated
arrangement of bamboo poles
and, nets are .used to catch the
morning breakfast, while they
. sleep. Poles `with muscle -power
propel the skiffs. Most shacks
have ''a dog, chickens and many
children,
Rice is grown here. Just now
is the dry season! The rainy
season is from August to Oc-
tober. Twenty inches is the av-
erage rainfall: Rice , is sown in
April and tw+�qq crops 'a year are
harvested. The work . is mostly
done by hand.
WFlowers and trees are every -
here.
We had breakfast. at Sriraja,
the end of the bus trip: After
breakfast we boarded a real
Toonerville trolley. The front
section, contained a motor of
some kind, and seats were be-
hind with wooden sides; then
tied to. that chain was . a sort of
coach' on wheels with seats_
along the sides. I rode in the
front part and there was a
lovely 'breeze. Temperature 75°'
with .a hot sun. Had a fine '.
View of the country. We were
going south in the dryer part
of the country. The , main crop
is tapioca. It grows 3• to 4 feet
high. The roots are •dug up,
ground and spread out in the
open to dry, then bagged and
shipped to market.
AIong the railroad seems to
be newly used land. It is own-
ed by the lumber companies
and is rented. There are many
stumps and much `debris around.
Water buffalo is used for
ploughing but 'X see -steel
mouldboard ploughs and one
tractor, discing, A bulldozer
could do a real job.
Some places banana trees are
planted with crops between the
rows, These bananas are smaller
than the ones we get in Canada'
but they. are tastier. I'm living

Then pushed until it rolls up
the skids onto little flat cars
that take the logsmto the milt.
These logs had been brought
out of the jungle by truck, were
;dumped off the, truck by the
elephants then loaded onto the
'ears: The elephants work these,
logs in .groups: Two, three, as
many as are needed. This is 'a"

roads.

I' had a ride on an elephant
She . kelt down to let us on

After lunch, rice, chicken,
much cures, fish, etc,, bananas
and oranges, we Were loaded
into jeeps with rut cushions
which took us for a ride
through the jungre. Tl3at was
some experience! Someplaces
hardly room to get around the
stumps and corners: We saw.
many big trees 60' feet . high
and 4 to 5 feet through. They'
are banyan, used for plywood
and building. No teak in there.:
When we got back from the
jungle, the Toonerville was
waiting for us, with the Same
driver .and' four Thai women for
company. I rode' with ' the wo-
men up front. This time the.
' motor end was front and the
seat and coach attached were
at the back: '
' We stopped at four stations
each way where attendants "
poured oil into the wheel box-
ing. The tracks are about 18"
apart. The wheels are driven by
a crank shaft running from
front to back. The ballast is in -
