Trip to Thailand and Myanmar

[L.L. Heim.]

I got back February 10th from three plus weeks in Thailand and Myanmar teaching basics of neonatal resuscitation and participating in medical clinics. I got time in for lots of photos so here are some highlights of the temples. The first is the over 150 foot long Reclining Buddah at Wat Po. The second is the White Temple at Chaing Rai made of white glass. The third is a temple along the banks of the river running through Bangkok. The Fourth is a modern temple on the grounds of the White Temple. And the fifth is the temple outside my hotel room in Chiang Tung, Myanmar.

Here are some photos of people. The first is a Lahu woman with black teeth from chewing betel nut. The Lahu women view black teeth as beautiful- they said white teeth look like dog teeth. The second is of some young monks relaxing at the temple where they live. The third and fifth is of children watching us at the medical clinic. And the fourth is at an elephant camp in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
