Interview with my grandmum

My grandmum is 75 years old. Her parents were famer and her family has lived in the remote area of Thailand. She was born during World War II and became an orphan after that occurrence. Thailand was considered as the undeveloped country at that time and was also affected by war.

Normally, people lived their lives simply and mostly depended on nature especially her, my grandmum, hometown which still relied on ancient wisdom.

For energy;

-          There was no automobile or any vehicles that employed petrol or gasoline. All they used for transporting was cart pulled by cows.

-          For farmers, they used buffaloes to plough and manpower to harvest.

-          There was no electricity, they used candle and lamp instead.

For resources;

-          People consumed water from river and also keep rainwater to drink. Obviously, they dug wells for public consumption too.

-          They used herbal medicine to cure any illnesses. So, they took a lot benefits from the forest and natural resources.

Comparison
