Rural life in Korat :D
What are their jobs?
By. Seoyoung, Lee
What kind of animals do they keep?
Where do they live? - 2. Picture of the king of Thailand
Photosor pictures of the king is fairly easy to find in Thailand. I knew that Thai people respected and loved their king. However, after visiting the village, looking at tons and tons of photos of the king, I realized how much they cared and regarded their ruler. - 3. When I arrived to the village, I was shocked by how much
lack of technology/ electricity they had. I wondered how they took
shower, or kept their foods. However, people said thatthe pits were
where they stored their water and used it when they were taking a
shower.I was astounded by the creativity and the intelligence of
the villagers.
- 4. Looking at this old woman made me feel guilty and bad. Her
house was filthy, messy, and weak. She had to collect the boughs to
heat up the fire.I realized how contenting and pleasing my life
was.
- 5. Since people in the village dont have a technology or other
entertainments (internet), some of them enjoytheir time by playing
with their pets. Although it might not seem so entertaining, it
looks better than urban citizens getting influenced by the
technology.
- 6. In the village, most of the snacks and candies are sold in a
reusable plastic container. I didnt know whether they used these to
help stop the pollution or because they didnt have enough money to
buy good ones, but it made me realize that there were lots of
things I could do to help the world.
- 7. The foods the villagers ate were not so different from what
urban people eat. They usually eat Thai noodle for lunch, with lots
of chilies. In my opinion, the reason they eat spicy foods so
muchis because of the hot climate they have to endure.
- 8. Most of the babies in the rural region of the country are
raised more freely and differently than babies raised in the urban
region of the country. I felt really bad when I saw the little girl
sweatinglike a soaked up towel.
- 9. The body of water which looked like a river is a big part of
rural life.People often spend their time swimming in the water or
bathing. Also, lots of animals and plants depend on it.
- 10. Spirit houses are very easy to find around the village. I
think this is because the villagers pray and ask for their gods
help to keep the village safe.Since the village is small and not so
developed, they often rely on their beliefs and
religion.
- 11. Toys, and other extra stuffs are normally kept outside of
the house because there are not much space s inside. However, even
if the stuffs are outside, they are usually unorganized and spread
around unevenly. I could feel how difficult and uncomfortable their
lives would be opposed to ours.
- 12. In order to decrease the amount of time working and to
increase the convenience, people use this transporter in the photo
to transport large quantity ofburden (plants).
- 13. At least 2 types of animals are tamed by each villagers.
Such as cows, ducks, chickens, dogs, cats, turkeys, and etc. Most
of them are used for works or for peoples foods. Unlike animals
raised in farms, these animals are rather more
inartificial.
- 14. The place where they keep their surplus (such as rice
sacks, toys, tools, etc) is usually under their houses. Its very
messy and dirty.However, I could still notice the intelligence of
them by looking at how thoughtfully they made their houses bottom
higher in order to create an extra space underneath.
- 15. Unlike some animals that are healthy, some are very sick or
dead by not getting enough foods to eat or eating foods that have
changed because of the temperature. Looking at this dead chicken
made me feel sick. I wondered why they kept the dead
thing.
- 16. One other difference we have opposed to the Korat villagers
is that they wash their cloths by their hands but we wash ours
automatically by the laundry machine.I once again felt how
convenient and important the technology we had was.
- 17. The transportation villagers use (cars, motorcycles,
bicycles) are very similar to ours but they are much older and
broken. I dont think people really care about how their cars/
motorcycles look likeor how worthy they are because they dont move
around for a long time and only go short distance.
- 18. Weavers in Korat, country side work on the ground the whole
day without air conditioner. When I saw this skinny old man weaving
with no shirt, I was both impressed and guilty.
- 19. People in different regions in Korat all have different
jobs. And a big part or them are farmers. Farmer is the most
important job in Thailand. There are many hard working steps to get
a rice we get in grocery stores , and I was amazed and impressed by
how well the farmers could work under the burning heat walking on
the mud.
- 20. Another common job people have in Korat is making
potteries. Huge amount of effort, long period of time, and advanced
skills are required in order to make one pottery. Every single one
of them are delicate and hand made.
- 21. This Korat trip taught me many things I wouldnt have
learned in school.
