Putahracsa Hua Hin

Yesterday we negotiated Bangkok public transportation and found our way to Hua Hin via a 3.5 hour "air conditioned" bus ride. We're trying to meet up with our friend Dawn, but so far no luck.

Last night we went to the night market and went wild; I'm going to have a hard time not bringing all of Thailand home with me in my ...

... a teacher for just Saturday and Sunday. $16k B ($480) a month but a house and electricity provided. To be honest, this is the offer I'm considering.

I was called to another interview in Bangkok for AYC, which subcontracts teachers to government schools and businesses all over Thailand. 32,500 B /month, has some positions up north but none in Chiang Mai which would be my ultimate destination.

I was 6 1/2 hours on the ...

... insane when they asked all the Sukhumvit campus to leave to their buses and almost the entire gym became empty. They have about 20 students in each class, but don't get the same ESL support we get so it is very intense. After spending the day with that class, I'm a little glad I don't have them! ;-) Thursday night I went to the park to play volleyball. NIST had a week holiday and so we didn't play at the school. It was fun to get ...

Sometimes we lose power, by we I mean Webster University. Without notice, the lights will go out, but the computers stay on thanks to generators. The air-conditioning goes too. The longest I've waited for the return of power is maybe three minutes. One time, I lost a video project, but all the others have just temporarily postponed my Facebook activity. I leave for Chang-Mai next Thursday (5/9) for the Songkran festival. I was told Chang-Mai is the anti-Bangkok and it is the place to ...

As we had about an hour and 1/2 before our guide was to arrive yesterday, we were sitting in the hotel lobby watching the airport-world go by. All of a sudden, one of the bellboys walked by carrying a sign with bells hanging off each side, and the words "Mr. Peter [Last Name ...

... makes me an "ajarn" (say ah-jawn). According to my friend and colleague Kit Jenkins, the campus rector, ajarn fits into the the hierarchy of respect like this: (ascending order, of course) ajarn, monk, King, Buddha. I'll take that. I have so much to share -- from the trip over to the first week of class. Given that I have daily internet access, I'll try not to give into the temptation to write in excruciating and boring detail. When I was ...

... had simply continued to govern under the guise of a caretaker government but without a clear mandate. There was no democracy in Thailand to overthrow on Tuesday September 19, 2006. The coup d'etat in Thailand is more like a counter-coup. Also in the Bangkok Post this morning is a story about the address to the UN General Assembly by President Hugo Chavez of ...

... well for. £2.50 per dress. The dark work suits forgotten now, I'm going native again in loud coloured fabrics covered in hibiscus prints. Flower power never left s.e Asia. Real Thai food again fantastic, although when there is one chilli on the menu indicating how hot the dish is, this does not mean the same as in London. It really means that the roof of your mouth will be burnt off. What can three chillies be like? We met up with several of Kerry's ...
