Adventure in Thailand: Part 14 and 15

January 28th, 2017

SATURDAY! FREE DAY!

Finallly weekend! We struggled quite hard this time! Because I need to finish everything that day (thesis, lesson plans, worksheet, materials, etc!) Huaaa that's so many things to do! But it's okay! We can do it!

In the morning, we went to Kho (kho means Island in English) Lamphu by walk. Almost 2 kms away from our dorm. But it's worth it!

Kho Lampu Island

Ta Pi River

That island is like small island with sports and recreation spots. Where citizens can do picnic and etc with their loves one. There are a lot of birds in Kho Lamphu. You can also feed them, but you need to buy the seeds from seller here for 10 - 20 bath.

Nok a.k.a Bird

After exploring the island, we went to the riverside. Turned out there are several boats that sell food. We bought ice creams, fruits, and water!

At noon, we went back to the dorm but we stopped by at Fresh Market to bought some veggies (not for me, but yeah, hahaha). The market kinda similar with my market in Banjarmasin (the smells especially LOL).

You know what, Mutiara and Zahra are basketball players. While we walked near SRP, we saw some students were playing basketball. They're tempted to join and we asked them if they can join, and the students allowed us to join. They even had a 2 on 2 game. Maybe I won't meet them again, because I'm not assigned in their level. But I really hope we can meet again (because they're lovely!)

SRP VS SEATEACHERS

At the night time, we went to night market near the river (I wonder why Surat Thani has a lot of night markets!). This Saturday market only sell clothes and shoes and casual things (not foods bazaar!) I bought Jeans Jacket for only 150 bath (cheap LOL). We also met Kru Daa (Kru means teacher in English) from Suratthani School (Muti's mentor). She treated us with foods ! Thank you Kru Daa!

SUNDAY! FREE DAY! BUT NOT REALLY FREE!

Most of us will start teaching tomorrow, so we need to prepare everything since Sunday! We're not going anywhere (except 7-11 to bought some foods to eat) and stay at the dorm doing things! I know maybe all of you that read my blog feel we didn't explore the city too much, but the reality is, most of good places in Surat Thani are far from the city (like you have to drive or ride a boat to go there) and we don't have the time and money for that! Hahaha, ya, but I love this city so bad !
