Every morning, a school bus travelled through the mountainous villages of Tha Song Yang district in Tak province. Inside, a young girl named Kornwalai Chuenmorkchantr -- better known as Mook -- sat with her sisters and brother along with other children.
While the ride was long, Mook was happy; she knew that when she arrived at school, she would have a good lunch and a chance to learn.
"It was a very happy memory for me," Mook reminisced about her time at Ban Mae Ousu Wittaya School in Tha Song Yang district, the only school she attended from kindergarten until she finished high school.
