TYT Festival TYT is the Thai Youth Theatre that is organised by peace corps volunteers. Although we didn't know this when we arrived. The secondary school has been practicing Mama Mia pretty much since we arrived. The students involved have worked so hard on it and it is now really quite amazing. The TYT festival allows all the schools involved to have the opportunity to show what they have been working on. Sadly, we only go to stay the morning but the othe...

School Trip We had a weekend trip to Ubon which is probably the nearest big city. It was just the three of us, me, Fleur and Clara. It was a mostly uneventful weekend.

It was located at the top of a mountain in some kind of pa...

New Year Possibly the best new year I have ever had. After an exceptionally long day and night and 22 hours after leaving Lerng Nokta we arrived at our hotel in Koh Chang. It was described to us as a prison and thats basically what it was. The room was a box with two mattresses on the ground and that is it. But didn't matter because we were hardly in there and it only cost £2 a night so whatever. We arrived on new years eve at about 4 so we went straight to the...
