This is a strange story of someone defying heavy odds to her disadvantage and then advantage! Just read it.. amazing story.<\/p>\n

\n

A woman who boarded the wrong bus on an attempted shopping trip from Thailand to Malaysia<\/a> has returned home after 25 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jaeyana Beuraheng told her eight children she accidentally boarded a bus bound for Bangkok instead of Malaysia, and once there she boarded a second incorrect bus because she could not read or speak Thai or English, The Times of London reported Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Beuraheng, who speaks only the Yawi dialect used by Muslims in southern Thailand, said the noise and traffic of the big city confused and disoriented her, leading her to board the second wrong bus to Chiang Mai<\/a>, near the border with Burma.<\/p>\n

The woman said she spent five years begging on the street in the city and was often mistaken for a member of a hill tribe because of her dark skin tone.<\/p>\n

She was arrested in 1987 on suspicion of being an illegal immigrant<\/a> and was sent to a social services hostel when authorities were unable to determine her origins.<\/p>\n

However, last month, three students from her home village arrived at the hostel for training, and they were able to communicate with Beuraheng and help her find her way home.<\/p>\n
