This morning was our orientation walk around the village. Really really interesting to see the thai people in their own surrounding doing their everyday work, fishing, wood chopping, cooking for the family or just chilling outside their homes. We are on the river and walking along we passed some houses which were like shacks on stilts and then some which were more elaborate and made from brick!! They seem like very simple living people and everyone was so friendly smiling at us, the kids are on holiday from school so they were following us around, they must have all been thinking 'here we go next set of mad english volunteers'!!! We crossed the river on like a pulley boat to see the village temple, only one monk lives here but masses of buddahs to pray too!!! All along the road was wild chillies growing, fruit trees, coconut and banana trees. Back across the river and walked along to the local shop which had fresh produce to buy and what ever else you could want really so Im not as far away from civilisation as I thought. We passed the only public phone in the village which sometimes works so we will see ha ha!!!
Back at camp and thai cooking was on the agenda. Papaya Salad and Noodles and kale stirfry. Chillies are the order for the thai food and to be honest I hated chillies but Im gradually building up my resistance. It was great fun using large outside wok to fry everything, no meat for us cos we have a vegetarian and a girl allergic to nuts so our main meat source is soya meat or tofu!! Hey I might loose the weight Ive gained !!!! Next was our Thai lesson, this was so much fun, it seems great when you have it written down in front of you but about 10 mins later I had forgotton the lot!! Defo need to do some learning before head into the school but we seem to have plenty of free time so swotting it is!!
Swimming this afternoon in the local baths, really good to get in pool again and do few lengths then chill out in the nice sun reading the book, its a hard life. We went for dinner in town and had thai style bbq. This was gorgeous and again the chillies are getting eaten ha ha!!! Afterwards Mr Ben took us to the Singburi Palace Hotel singing lounge. Well there was three other people and us eight but we made the best of it and yep your right after a few bottles you couldnt get us to sit down!! Thai karaoke was fun for sure!!!
