If you only see one movie this year, see "Den Kamons Winning Chiang Mai Championship Title Fight." Outside on the tiled tabletop, bottle tops slide from square to square to play checkers. Games are played quickly, but pass the time in the heat of the day. The heat is interspersed by heavy rain and thunderstorms that threaten to come and stay early this year.
Spectators feed on ripe mangoes from the two trees within the camp. Hunting the mangoes is as time-honoured as the offerings of food, water and incense to the Buddhist spirit houses that protect the camp and its inhabitants. A long bamboo cane can be employed to tip the ripe fruit from the branches, but more flamboyant hunters prefer the slingshot, with startling success.
