We left Friday for a local reservoir for a swim test/time to swim and kayak around the lake (very brown and very warm, but still very refreshing). We ate lunch at these little thatch huts along the lake- so scenic!
Next, we took our ritzy buses to Mok Fa, part of Doi Suthep National Park, where we stayed in big bunk houses/cabins for the weekend. All of ISDSI staff came too, and we spent the weekend learning about wilderness safety and rescues and exploring the park. Less than five minutes walk was a beautiful waterfall where we spent a lot of time swimming. Waterfalls are top notch and it was definitely a key component to the weekend. Between mini lectures, badminton, extreme ring ball (a game like capture the flag), hiking, and swimming in the waterfall, the weekend was definitely fun-filled and a wonderful getaway.
Now back to classes- this week focusing on Thai politics and culture.
Thai Thai for now!
