Thailand

Beaches, Cities, People, Food--so much to love!

Truly the land of many smiles, it is easy to do just that. The fellowship from Fund for Teachers allowed for a few days in Thailand, but we decided to stay for longer on our own(not a hard choice). We explored the famous beaches (but only the West side) and the mellow South in Trang which is famous for waterfalls and caves. Currently, we are in Bangkok enjoying the city and the bustle again while fostering dreams of living here. We fear there is no time for the North on this trip, but there is always next time.

Our greatest boon was finding a connection to a sea gypsy village and school, hopefully we can start a relationship between Oak Forest in Houston and the kids on Ko Libon. The culture and people are so warm and friendly and the kids really want to talk to "farangs" or foreigners. Our students will love it and can explore and ancient and evolving way of life.

There's been so much to share, so check out just a few of our pictures and adventures. For extra fun, view the pictures as a slideshow!
