The teachers in Thailand every year get a day of celebrations. Instead of organizing activities my school St Louis instead gave all the teachers the day off. We did not have to teach on the Monday and therefore I decided I would use the time to visit some fellow teachers I met in Bangkok while training and have not seen since.
I travelled to Nang Rong a town in the Buriram Province with the knowledge there is not a lot to do there. I was warned although I still wanted to visit to experience the different conditions each of the interns were placed in.
They were correct there is not a lot to do in Nang Rong. I did visit the ruins of a small temple not far from where my friends were living. I also spent an afternoon celebrating one of the teachers birthday which was quite ok.
I am not disappointed a went the bus journey lasted more than six hours each way and took my through some quite spectacular areas of Thailand. It was also great to see my friends and listen to their very different experience of teaching in Thailand.
At the end of the weekend I was happy I was placed at a school in Chachoengsao and went back to school appreciating how lucky I was.
