Mekong Hotel Page #3

The forest ranger

has a lot of it. They gave it to us.

I wonder how

the people of Bangkok

will be able to build their rafts.

With plastic bottles.

All stuck together.

When I was young, I used

large plastic bins.

A large bin per person

is sufficient.

Where has all this happened?

In Bangplad.

The Laotians came after

the border was closed.

They came here, and then ...

they were stopped

at the police stations.

But police stations...

Did they migrate here ?

Yes, but the police stations

were crowded.

A fund was created

to build

a refugee camp.

They wrote down a list.

Every refugee had a dossier

and received an ID card.

The hill tribes

were separated from Laotians.

They could file an asylum

application in a third country.

It wasn't easy.

Some failed

the language test

and couldn't leave.

- Did they make a test?

- Yes, and interviews too.

Thai people

married to Laotian people

chose to go to France.

Back then I was jealous.

They run away and got to our place...

I didn't know where the

aids had arrived from or how.

I was too young.

There were trucks

who delivered cereals,

dry legumes

and many other things.

They came every week.

It was like a country within another country.

There was a soccer field

and a market.

- Why were you jealous ?

- A school, a temple.

- Why jealous ?

- I didn't have enough to eat.

And they

were so well fed.

There were more and more of them.

I saw them arrive in crowds.

So I decided ...

Mom.

Mom!

Where are you ?

I know you're here.

Please, get out of his body.

My daughter, I miss you.

Please, go back in your vase.

The vase ?

They broke it.

Phon ?

Is this your wandering soul ?

Yes.

You still remember me ?

Yes.

I remember you.

I fell sad.

I'm not sure...

I still love you.

It was a long time ago.

But you said you loved me

by the riverside.

Now, I'm married.

I have children.

I'm old now.

I'm losing my memory.

Believe me, Masato.

Don't go.

I want to go home.

Don't go...

Please.

Can you hear me, Masato ?

I know, I'll reborn into a horse.

And into different species of

insects.

I don't know

how long it takes ...

before returning human again.

I 'll reborn into a child

in Philippines.

And I know

you'll always follow me.

Why

don't you stop, then?

I can't...

for the same reason of yours.

What are you looking for ?

Your spirit can travel

out of your body

while you're still alive,

with this machine.

No one doubts the existence of the spirit.

He knows you're here.

But he doesn't care.

Because everyone

has their own path.

His spirit may wander everywhere...

until the battery is discharged.

Believe me, Phon.

He doesn't care.

What about you ?
