My work here is finished, and I return to Bangkok tomorrow afternoon. The students go back by bus, their holiday is over, school begins may 1.
We did a lot and saw many historic sites while here. We took in two world famous Buddha temples,
Wat Doi Suthep, and Wat Kam, which is white, and over 1200 years old. Most images are gold coloured.
One morning was spent an Royal Gardens Rajapruek, which are over 500 acres of plants from all over Asia. My favorite area is the orchard garden which has thousands of different types of orchids.
My holiday is just half over, so I fly out tomorrow, on a flight called Nok Air, and the kids go back by bus. There are many smaller airlines here, and Nokair is a subsidiary of Thai International. The flight back to Bangkok is about 80 dollars.
While in Bangkok, I will be staying in a private home with friends that I have been working with. They do not have wi-fi at home, so each day after they go to work, I will go visit Mcdonalds.
I will do some site seeing, and relaxing. On May 15, I get to do that "day twice lived", and depart here at noon and travelling via Hong Kong, for a two hour stop, then to Toronto. I should get into Ottawa about midnight same day.
I hope to do an update from Bangkok, but am having computer problems, so may not get to do so.
My computer keeps jumping into the middle of what I have written, and it just erased the first paragraph of this page.
