T.K. House Cha-am

... I have no other choices.

The flight was on time (this is the only leg we had to purchase as the rest of the ticket was frequent flier award) and we arrived in Bangkok with our driver holding a sign with my name on it waiting to transfer us from Bangkok airport to the Hyatt in Hua Hin.

Hua Hin is where the Thai King live most of the ...

... todella lystikas juna. Ne jotka ovat menneet Viipuri-Pietari valia venalaisilla paikallisjunilla saattavat tietaa mista puhun. Puupenkit 90 asteen kulmassa seka puulattia, ikkunat auki koska ilmastointia ei tietenkaan ole, pysahdytaan jokaisella mahdollisella pikkuasemalla, myyjia kay valilla myymassa safkaa ja juomia ja paikalla kannattaa olla aikaisin jos haluaa loytaa istumapaikan. Hauskaa siis oli ja neljan tunnin matka maksoi hurjat 38 bahtia eli alle ...

I like the WFFT center, I really do, but there are several things I can't let myself think about, otherwise I'd go nuts. 1. What the mysterious, multiple, large blood-like stains on the mosquito net are from. (I never found a mosquito net to buy--I just used one that I found leftover in my room). It's strange. Too large to be insect blood stains, to oddly-placed to be human... I don't even know. 2 ...

... tell when it's naptime. The caged animals also get sleepy. The bears lie in funny positions, asleep in the shade, and even the primates are quiet. I did water rounds today--filling up the water buckets of the gibbons and langurs--three times today, at 11:30, 1:30pm, and 5:15. Both the 11:30 and 1:30 had very quiet, sleepy animals all around. I was able to successfully water all the buckets without being grabbed or ...

... the city. We saw amazing things! 1. Wat Mahathat Worawihaun, a temple. This is one of 4 royal temples in the city and it was built 800-1000 years ago. We went inside and also looked around outside. 2. Phra Ram Ratchaniwet, a place. This is a 'summer palace' that was built in 1916. King Rama V began the construction but died before it was finished. It's now a national heritage building and the grounds are used by the Thai Army. The ...

Compared with last week and the troubles adjusting to this new way of life, I have really started to get into it and enjoy it! I feel really at ease with my job, things are much easier now that I have been doing it for 2 weeks. We have 2 outings this week, one to Cha-Am for Sadie's 23rd Birthday, and one to Hua Hin for dinner and to see the nightmarkets. I love Hua Hin, there is so much happening there! It's a very ...

... were wondering, yes I did end up doing some karaoke, I kinda got pulled into it when looking for a song, I'm a little ashamed to say it, but I did karaoke with some friends to, "Like A Prayer" by Madonna. I know it was my first pick either. Strangely though I kept up with most the words and matched the notes and harmonized with everyone. Haha. That was totally made up, I sounded awful probably but who actually sounds really good on karaoke. This past week was the mark of ...

... story, though. Every day, the elephants are taken to the lake for a bath. It's really cool to watch the mahouts (owners/handlers) stand on their backs as the elephants immerse themselves and take a big drink. That's the fun part. But the problem is that elephants poop. A lot. Big floaters. Are you guessing what comes next? Yep, the chore comes in fishing them out of the ...
