text: After a short welcoming drink we turned towards the village and while the column moved on ahead we looked at the village and visited Chingmak's houses. He in fact has two and one of his two wives living in each. The two houses stand opposite each other with their gables facing. At first we were lead into the one of the older wife where Chingmak himself also seems to live most of the time.
