Fourth Week of Evaluation and Relaxation

 September 9th, 2023

   The week of evaluation and relaxation before the final presentation in the Sea Teacher program is a much anticipated time after an intense three week long journey at Lampang Sports School, Thailand. Together with my Sea Teacher friends, I decided to celebrate our achievements with an exciting trip to several interesting places around Lampang.

    We started our day by visiting Wat Phrathat Lampang Luang, a beautiful temple that is a historical icon in Lampang. We were mesmerized by the ancient architecture and serene atmosphere inside this temple. We took lots of photos to immortalize these beautiful memories and also bought some traditional Thai clothes as souvenirs.

    After that, we tasted one of Thailand's famous foods, namely noodles, at a local restaurant. The food was so delicious and had a variety of flavors that satisfied our taste buds. This was a moment that made us feel like we were truly experiencing local culinary delights.

    Our next visit took us to an elephant conservation in Lampang. Here, we witnessed a magnificent show put on by well-protected elephants. Seeing the intelligence and skills of these elephants is truly impressive. We also learned about elephant conservation efforts there and how they play an important role in protecting the species.

   We continued our journey to a local cafe, tasting the famous Thai coffee and chatting with the locals. This gave us a deeper insight into the culture and daily life of Thai people.

   Our original plan was to explore Kad Kong Ta Street Market, but fate had its own plans. When we arrived at the market, it suddenly started raining heavily. Lastly, we decided to end the day by visiting Central Plaza Mall, a large shopping center in Thailand. We explored the shops and enjoyed the evening atmosphere there until 8 p.m.

    When we finally returned to our apartments, we felt satisfied and grateful to have had the opportunity to celebrate our achievements so far. This week of evaluation and relaxation gave us the opportunity to reflect, celebrate the journey we were on, and recharge our spirits for the upcoming final presentation. This experience not only enriched our education but also forged strong bonds with our friends on this extraordinary educational adventure.

The funny thing is that when checking my luggage, the immigration officer told me to take out the contents of my bag because I was carrying 3 bottles of drinking water was my own mother. Finally, we boarded the plane to continue our trip to Thailand.      When we arrived ther...

  September 20th, 2023      The final presentation day in the Sea Teacher program was a very meaningful closing moment in my educational journey in Thailand. This is a time where we have the opportunity to share experiences, celebrate successes, and enjoy local culture and cuisine.      When I presented about my four-week teaching experience in Thailand, I felt proud and grateful for this opportunity. I talk about the challenges, achievements, and lessons we learned throughout the program. This sharing session allowed us to interact with students at Lampang Rajabhat University, providing additional insight into Thai education and culture.      Then, we continued with cultural performances from each of our countries, namely Indonesia and the Philippines. We present our own dance, music and cultural aspects. It's a beautiful way to celebrate the cultural diversity among us and share bits and pieces of our culture with an audience.  ...
