Life in Bangkok- a pictorial
















A couple of favorites- I love these girls!




















They were so excited to show off a project they had done with a previous CCS volunteer. What are YOU thankful for?





















They warned us....the Thai children get SUPER excited when they see a camera :)





















The Marching. We think classes rotate through it- almost like a gym class. If you could only hear the eeriely creepy music that accompanies this, though....





















Tom and I after signing the guest book at the hospital the King is being treated in. I'm laughing watching Chuwanna (the teacher we assist) try to figure out my blackberry. Mind you, the phone is actually bigger than SHE is...




















There's our little lady now. She takes us on lunchtime field trips and buys us iced coffee and dessert, too. I love her. And have decided that from now on, I'm always eating lunch in- and going for 1pm coffee and dessert breaks. Every day :)


















Tom setting up the students for the human clock game.
















Thai massage workshop! A-MAZING. So excited to try and become a master of it.

















The Thai people really respect and pay homage to their king. He's been in hospital for three months, and there's an entire reception area to sign one of the hundreds of guests books. There's also signs, banners, and don't worry- there's marching children here, too.














Erawan Falls. Somewhere there's pictures of four or five of us actually standing underneath this waterfall.















I go on international trips and immediately start dressing more like Jamie Leithead. It's some weird phenomena, I just don't know.










Bridge over the River Kwai- we had an incredible lunch on a floating restaurant just below here. I paid $1.50 US for the best pineapple shake of my life. And everyone else had pad thai at a whopping $3 American. This country is something else!


























Stacey and Tracey. Just riding elephants ;)




























Floating market outside of Bangkok. You don't get out of the boat. Brings new meaning to the term "bumper to bumper"....
























Paddling through the lotus farm, and below, a view from the docks.




































Boat trip down the klongs outside of Bangkok.



















Just as I expected to find in Thailand....pashminas, and Philadelphia jerseys.
