Children interview an old lady about the life in the village before. Nowadays farmers only grow rice species giving harvest in 3 to 4 months and use a lot of pesticide. A man is selling the house in which his father is still living as it is made of old teak, so it has some reselling value. A man has family issue as his wife left him. His car runs of petrol and stops by near a Buddhist temple. Nobody from his family is willing to help him as he calls them by phone. Only the temple abbot gives help, i.e. allowing him to sleep, preparing a bed for him, giving him food for breakfast, giving him petrol for him to continue his journey. A teacher is dedicated to his job despite the children seem not to care. In parallel he needs to manage his own kids.

Youngsters are not willing to cook by themselves anymore while their mother is working in Bangkok. So a vegetable merchant has poor business as most people are buying cooked meals. A father is sending his daughter to the bus station as she is going to work in Bangkok to pay debts.
