39:44 In the footsteps of a monk
The Burmese regard their country as a beautiful sleeping girl. Today she opens her eyes a little but wakes him up hard. The country lacks everything, the infrastructure has been neglected for many years. But the Burmese keep smiling. In the North West, in the most mountainous region of the country, getting around is an adventure. The mountains reach 3000 meters in altitude and some roads climb to more than 2000 meters. With his truck, twice his age, Khampi struggles. Despite everything, man faces the roads or rather the tracks, with courage and coolness. Khampi never gets angry, he keeps a smile at all times even when he misses to tip over. The word “fear” seems to have disappeared from his vocabulary. The state of the roads is a serious handicap for the populations, but it has enabled the country to retain its beauty, its authenticity and its traditions. Young Sokna carries on an ancient ritual, the Kiss of Death. Legend has it that by kissing the head of a king cobra three times, the women of the village will quickly become pregnant. In Naypeedaw, the megalomaniacal capital erected by the military junta, highways hold a sad record. One of the least frequented on the planet. The country also holds another record, with the most terrifying train in Asia. It crosses a viaduct more than 100 meters high. Without any security. Barely a few centimeters separate the travelers from the void. Travel to the heart of Burma far from the tourist trails.

In one part of the world, people are riding 4x4 as a hobby, while these legends are driving for their living. Hats off

I live in Thailand. I sympathize with the people of Myanmar. May they be safe.

It was 4 am in California, after watching some Russian 4x4 videos, I clicked on this video and I really enjoyed it, my wife woke up like around 4 45 am and I had to watched almost the whole video again because she also liked it. So thank you ,and we need to smile more, I really don't smile much and I'm negative all the time but I have to change.

The Burmese are real warriors and hardworkers.. Be it in Thailand or Malaysia.. Their hardwork is evident from beautiful gardens till tall skyscappers.. Hope the new democratic transition brings prosperity and happiness to them

Love and respect to this extremely honest and hardworking nation. I am proud being an Asian that Asian people are very very sincere and never have tears in their eyes inspite of all this unimaginable hardship every day of their lives. The world must see and understand what lesson it teaches to all those who seek money, military power based imperialism, and attack countries just to invade for power. Myanmar I love you and am proud of your culture. Extremely useful piece of documentary. God bless this great nation. 🌹👍❤️🇮🇳✌️💪🙂🙂🙂

I greatly admire the truck driver. He has an amazing invention based on a WWII era CMP truck modified with bits and bobs, balls of steel, an amazing sense of humor, and a sunny outlook on life. How does he do it?
