Farang friends


When you are an outsider in a city you tend to stick together with the other outsiders. It is the case in Chachoengsao where all the English teachers have formed a group who spend time together. It is a group Tim and I were invited into after a chance meeting at the Big C.
We were both invited to dinner and we met at least 15 of the English teachers who work in the city. Some of the teachers have been here years, others have just arrived. We were taught about life in Chacoengsao and invited the following day to swim at a pool. The pool was part of a golf club resort and it seemed only the most elite Thais were able to swim there. It was a great day out and I actually felt like I could have been anywhere in the world.
Karen, Lindsay and Jenny all returned from Phuket and we made plans to get to Ko Samet an island off the south east coast of Thailand.
