Jungle aid

» After a few wrong turns on a dusty dirt road and quick rides across shallow creeks, our songthaew full of volunteers from Jungle Aid -- a private charity that provides a medical clinic and community development assistance to people living in remote areas of Thailand -- came to a stop at Pa La U Noi Village. Situated two hours away from downtown Hua Hin in Prachuap Khiri Khan province, the village is sprawled amid the hills, with bamboo houses, children running in tattered clothes, young mothers and stray animals completing the scene.
