Sawadii ka from Thailand

Hello!!
We've been living in Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan for 3 weeks now and are loving the craziness of life. We have experienced so much~ chicken feet curry, feeding an elephant on the side of the road, sleeping in a bamboo hut on the Burmese/Thai border in the home for students for Karen refugees, we have met so many amazing and courageous people and learning that road rules are non existent!!
We have visited both homes for students (BPDN 1&2) and tomorrow will head out to BPDN 1 to do an English camp that happens once a month. Khaila and I are doing a group on animals which will be fun but interesting as our Thai is quite minimal.
Our tutoring is going well, the kids we are with are amazing and really on top of what they are doing. We are really enjoying being a part of their family and getting to know them on a more personal level.
It has been such an awesome experience for us so far and we will keep you up to date in the months to come!
Until later..

Goodbye Oz, Hello Thailand!

Today is the day! It is amazing how quickly time has snuck up on us. We are all packed and counting down the hours before we put rubber to pavement and begin our little adventure. We have been so touched by all the love and support that we've received since we started out, especially by people that we haven't known for long or only have casual relationships and yet they have gotten behind us and been a huge support. It is so wonderful to know that we are being thought of during this time by all our amazing family and friends! It still seems quite surreal that in under 24hrs we'll be in Bangkok via Brunei. Thailand is such an amazing country, with so much culture and we can't wait to jump in and experience life in this beautiful place!!

So we'll be in touch soon with our first tastes of thailand Xo
