After Ice 2012 Thailand Trip

---

I had believed I had Thailand out of my system. There are far to many new places to visit in the world. However, I have returned again. This year I spent just over 30 days in Thailand. The first two week I was at the Saiyokyai school helping the children with their english. What is really amazing is that the children are all Bilingual. They learn English and Thai at the same time. They do there school work in both languages from their first year to graduation.

For my third week, I traveled south to Patong Beach, where I spent my days relaxing, walking and swimming in the warm waters.

My last week, I spent exploring Bangkok. Never ever, leave your city map in your hostel. The day i did, I got lost some where in China Town and it took me hours to find my way back,
