Co Pang
walking about in the rice fields
planting. They do most of the
work & their men are idle x
weak muscled compared to
their wives. The country
further inland seems much
directed by heavily model
small hills, valleys narrow x
evenly rice fields, forest
scenery. Then, as now we
stopped at a station for lunch.
After Ben just before reaching
there we passed through
three plantations on the
hillsides growing on hilly ground
roots of Me. Beyond this
point, the bush is dense
jungle of bamboo trees grow-
ing on small hills with slits
narrow rice field between.
At Trai Hut station beyond
the rice fields are few & the
road winds between small
woods covered with that dense
jungle of bamboo forest as
thick as any I have ever seen.
Wild bananas & cocoa nut tree
& tall cane grass abundant.
