Surat Thani, Thailand & Host #3


Today started out with the group meeting for a North American style breakfast. We had a great chance to talk to our hosts in Chumphon. We had a tearful and emotional good- bye as we loaded up in the two vehicles for Surat Thani. We had roughly a 2.5 hour drive to get to the next town.


We were met with hellos, traditional Thai flowers and a North American style lunch. It was really good. Once the meal ended, Lee was able to check out the kitchen. The Rotary Clubs had a welcome banner in which we took some pictures.


After lunch we went our separate ways. Brandon and Kim ended up having yet another Thai massage. To date, this is our fourth. This one was especially awesome because it lasted 2 hours. We can now move in ways we never thought possible. Thai people really take us out of our comfort zones.


For those of you keeping up with the blog, our itinerary continuously changes. We were unable to plant the mangrove trees in Chumphon but we were able to tour and learn about the mangrove reforestation.


Well, for now it's time to say good-bye. We will keep you posted !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:-) Kim & Brandon.

What fun, I'm jealous of the massages. So glad to know that you're all having a great time. I was at Madison Heights Rotary and they are so excited for you all. This little club has two exchange students, two GSE team members (in the past two years) and a former GSE team leader.
I look forward to continued reading of your site.
Thanks for posting.
