I would love to write a story about a great man I met October 2015, my wife and I decided to travel to Thailand from its border with Burma to Malaysia, and we decided to imagine a place 2 km from Burma, we landed at the airport in Bangkok, I was checking in at a small hotel and the flight to the city of Chang Rai was 7 in the morning, we arrived The hotel is in Chang Rai, the second day we took a microbus for 5 hours and went up a mountain about 200 km because the whole road is twisty.
We arrived at night to a small city called Mae Hoon Sun and the target hotel is two hours away from the city in Ban Rak Tai area, at the bus stop I took a 25 km taxi to the hotel and the story began from here .
The plan is that we hire a photographer, and unfortunately, because we do not know how to speak their language, I used to communicate with foreigners who live there, and their requests are really very large, more than $2000 per hour, plus transportation costs and anything else, so I decided to look for someone else from the city.
The boy from the hotel received me at 9 pm and I paid and took my details, and I explained to him that I only came here for one night.

He said: The city is far away and it is difficult to turn around now. Tomorrow I will come down with you to help you work for what you want.
Me: Ok, in case we don’t see anyone, I can rent a camera and have someone take a picture of us.
He: We have people who are honored to serve you, or we ask permission from the inmates to photograph you.
Me: Ok, in case you don’t have a camera to rent.
He: We will go to another city another day, or we will talk to someone.
Me: Ok, can we take a camera from someone in the hotel for how many hours?
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to ask them, but I have a camera. I can bring you. I asked him to see it. I found a Fuji professional camera, and I swear, I said he will work for me, he said, but this is old and you will not answer what you want. I asked to see which picture he photographed. Because of her, I came from my country to take pictures here. I was very happy, but I held my breath to see the end of the story.
Me: I agree that you photograph me tomorrow if you are overflowing.
He: I am happy, I hope you sleep because if we are lucky, it will be in the direction of the lake and the clouds are close to the mountain, and filming will be at 10 in the morning or 1 in the afternoon.
Frankly, I believed you, and I said tomorrow, I will turn around if he works for me, at 8:30 am the door will fall from the confusion, I opened and said you are lucky.
We finished and changed and he said I wanted a taxi so I could travel in the country and visit its landmarks. He said I will. He told me before you go to breakfast, go back to the office and see the pictures. I took the flash drive with me and went. Before anything else, please show me all the pictures and transfer them to the flash and wait for me. Tell me I want a cam, frankly, the matter was very embarrassing, the same evidence as what foreigners take, but I came out with the equivalent of 700 dollars to start negotiating with him, he caught the money and looked at me and said to me, what is this money, I said check that you worked for me, he smiled and said to me I am the owner of the hotel Ok I want you, I want you to be happy and I am happy that you chose us on a day like this, your kindness, I told him I would only go when you take money, he shyly withdrew an amount not exceeding $70 and told me that I could be the private driver today.
Tell your wife I want to be happy
And because of this man, we, as travellers, advise anyone who travels to Thailand to stay with him.
