Over the weekend, I attended an English Camp put on by the Sarasit School, a private, all-boys Catholic school about 45 minutes away from where I normally teach. My host teacher at Pattarayan connected the director of the English Camp with me. Prasit picked me up after I finished teaching on Thursday and brought me to his school. The camp was a great opportunity for 90 select students to practice their English in a fun environment of 'music, sports, and performances' (the weekend's motto). The students practiced interviewing tourists in Hua Hin before we arrived at the campground in Ao Manao ('Lemon Bay'). The beach setting was beautiful. We enjoyed playing tug-of-war on the beach, risking our lives on a terrifying speed boat ride, performing skits, singing camp songs, eating spicy foods, and body surfing during free time. We also went to a very cool aquarium that was about 15 kilometers from the Myanmar border (don't worry, Mom, no border hops). I was treated like a guest of honor, which was very nice and flattering.

Another great update, Thai Bubba. And yes, I'm glad you didn't do any border hopping! Mom
Kind of reminds me of one time at "Camp For Echoes" when some Japanese exchange students were visiting and we had a big mud fight...they had some incredible techniques (walk up behind someone with tons of mud in your hands and rub it up & down their arms and legs!).
