Just before the firecrackers and drums started.....
Our first adventures in SE Asia. Three months travel followed by 3 months volunteering on an elephant camp in Thailand. We fell in love with Asia and decided to make it a longer term thing. We did a TEFL course and then taught for 6 months in a primary school near Bangkok.
