Village trekking in Tana Toraja

After a few days in Rantepao, in the South Sulawesi uplands of Tana Toraja, we asked a trekking guide to come by the guesthouse to discuss an overnight trip. Under five feet, barrel-chested, chain-smoking, and pushing 50, our prospective guide extended his hand and said in a deep baritone, "My name is Yatim." Fatherless. He wrote out a string of villages he wanted to take us to, and told us to bring water, rain gear, good shoes, a flashlight. The next morning we stopped at the vast market held near Rantepao every six days. Men in batik shirts hand-fed their buffalo. Pigs lay bound in rows, or were carried on bamboo poles. We had a lunch packed, and bought some snacks and kreteks to share along the way.

Thailand Travel Guide

Country and People
Tucked between Myanmar, Laos Cambodia and Malaysia, Thailand is a bag of surprises, thanks to its varied topography. Thailand's northern and north eastern districts are rugged, enjoying pleasant weather, and home to an amazing collection of orchids. The land slopes gradually towards the Gulf of Thailand towards its famed sandy beaches. The peninsular arm of Thailand almost wraps the gulf on its western side, creating long, sandy stretches rated amongst the best in the world.
