Chapter 1 The Route

Many times, we saw a big bike passing us while we were on the side of the road or take a passenger in a car that is being driven. I think many of you who love wind, sunlight and speed would imagine that someday we would be in that state. That is, the big bike lover, driving along the way he intended. Especially when seeing a group of big bikes come together as a team of Big Bike. Even more stimulating the imagination of the desire!

However, I am talking about a Big Bike that drives in accordance with the law and social rules, not encroaching or harassing fellow travelers. There are also many groups with volunteers who are ready to do activities together to create a better society for various purposes in many areas across the country of Thailand.

Some of you might think that the people who ride those big bikes have a lot of money in their pocket can do it, Yes, but not always, like one friend I knew. He don’t have a lot of money, work of living for a small salary, he have an old big bike, but the maintenance itself is excellent. He have the strength skill, the good mind ready to help and ready to do for others. You have knowledge and understanding of construction. He went to join the Big Bike group to build a toilet, classroom for a school in a rural area. Bring food and clothing to share where the car is difficult to access. In my personal opinion, when we have enough in term of money or have ability to do something for others, We wouldn't need anything more than sharing. Share what we can do physically, mentally and emotionally if we can.

I've also heard the story of a doctor taking a little time off of his personal life. Set off with a big bike, to help and diagnose various ailments for the poor in remote areas. It only aims to improve people's quality of life. Once, the doctor had the opportunity to travel to the forest, a deep forest, Thung Yai Naresuan, go to check the patient with group of big bike and cars. He traveled to Thung Yai Naresuan at Sakae Village adjacent to the Burmese border to the deepest. If the weather is good It takes 2-3 days to travel, approximately 100 kilometers distance, but the journey is quite difficult. The doctor have to sleep in the middle of the route (in a sleeping tent) and then continue the journey for about a day which from here it can be clearly seen that His medical care was very scarce. Both long and difficult roads including unpredictable inclement weather when the doctor arrived, he went to check on the villagers. After that he can continue to plan that next time to come again which drug should be taken for treatment or help the villagers because sometimes they go to check and find a disease that has not yet been treated by a doctor or the drug has not reached.

The doctor will plan the second step, which is, if he come back next time, what will he have to do? What to prepare Or what medicine was given to the villagers? Time of each trip so it came back to homework. He will go back and extend the treatment to be more complete. It is an important question. How to keep the villagers as continuous as possible?

The doctor said that riding a big bike is tired or not? Tired. Prepare everything, Are these tired? Tired. Sometimes when you get there, you don't have the energy to check, feel like to get rest But when I saw the villagers standing and waiting full of hope, after talking with the villagers seeing them is hilarious with friendly and welcoming smile that made the doctor recover from his tiredness. The doctor coordinated the villagers to come and take the medicine for a checkup. They were smiling and having fun. It gave the doctor the strength to continue immediately. The team of doctors set up the pills, set up the unit, and chatted with the villagers all the time. It was a very fun atmosphere. In addition, it is another wonderful impression. I saw them excited Everyone's eyes sparkled with hope.
