Wanting to see the sea once, a 70-year-old man drives a Saleng from Ubon Ratchathani to Koh Chang.

Ubon Ratchathani, 70 year old man from Ubon Ratchathani. Driving a trusty Saleng In the evening, sleep there and head to Trat Province with the hope of seeing the sea. I want to see Koh Chang once in my life. This person seen lying on the Saleng truck is Ta Loi Tapila, 70 years old, a villager in Bu Puei, Bu Puei Subdistrict, Nam Yuen District, Ubon Ratchathani Province. The person who came to sleep and park his car to rest inside a gas station on Road No. 24 before reaching the red light intersection in Sangkha District, Surin Province, where the car had a handwritten sign that said, 'Old man picks up traveling garbage. From Nam Yuen Ubon to Trat Province." Reporter inquires The grandfather said that he had traveled from Sangkha District, Surin Province, from his home since March 3, and had 200 baht with him. Which night do you sleep there? Most of them sleep at gas stations. Because there is water to bathe There's light, it's not scary. The goal is to travel to Trat Province because I want to see the sea. Since I was born I have never seen seawater. I think that once in my life I would like to see the sea. So he decided to take his trusty Saleng car and travel continuously. Along with being alone Because he had separated from his wife many years ago and his children had all moved away and had their own families. There was no way to make a living at home, so they lived by collecting bottles and old things in garbage cans on the side of the road, selling them for a living. I can't afford to hire anyone. Because I'm old. Along the way, when you meet people, there are people who take pity on you, give you money, give you food, sometimes even rely on rice from the temple. I think that one day I will probably reach the sea at Koh Chang as I planned. But now I'm worried and don't know if the car will bend or not. But I think I'll keep trying. Until reaching the destination that must be seen once in a lifetime. Source: Thai News Agency
