Trips & Expeditions
Pam: I really liked the trip to Sukhothai because I didn’t only get to learn about Sukhothai architecture, also got to touch, feel and experience. I now know more about my country and myself. The activity that is the most important for me is cycling in the history park, because I get to see many priceless artifacts. I was very impressed and I will never forget the feeling. Baitoey: I like Sukhothai because we get to go biking in the historical park because we get to see ancient things like temples, play games in the function room and also I really like going swimming at the hotel swimming pool. We also went to ride water buffalo and grow some rice and play in the mud. We went to Sukhothai Museum and Dinosaur Museum. The Airport is very small but it has almost everything the bigger airports have (Example: Suvarnabhumi airport). There is even a Zoo in the area. On Wednesday we had Kantok and on Thursday we had country style food: somtam, pad thai, fried chicken wings, cotton candy, old style ice-cream (so yummy), etc. On the last day we watched the movie “Howl’s moving Castle”.

DouDou: This was my first week without walls trip and also the first time I ever been to Sukhothai so I was really excited. At Sukhothai, I learned a lot about the history of Sukhothai. Also we got to spend more time with our friends and we got to work together as a team. My favourite parts of this trip were the biking and rice planting. I really like biking because we get to exercise and we got to see different types of architecture from not only Thailand but also from Khmer. At first I didn’t want to bike because when I was at grade 5 I fell when I was riding my bike. But, at the end I did ride a bike it was really fun. My favourite one only the biking trip was the Wat Si Sawai because our group (the pink and grey group) found a cave that we explored but we didn’t find anything but we did learned that themes of the caves connected to the inside of Wat Si Sawai. We also learned that Wat Si Sawai was gilded for the 3 gods from India. I also really like the rice planting trip because we learned about rice planting and we got to cook too. We cooked fried chicken and eggs it was really good. After we finished lunch we got to rice plant. At first I was really scared then when I first stepped on the mud I thought I was going to sink in but I didn’t. Instead, suddenly I felt something I realised that I haven't been in mud seen I was 6 and now I am 11 years old. In an instant I just started planting. For some reason all of the rice I planted most of them fell in the mud. Then when I turn back some of the boys were swimming in the mud, I didn’t want to do that so I just sat in the mud, it felt nice and I felt like a little kid again.
I was really sad that we need to go back. But I learned a lot of thing not only about Sukhothai but also about teamwork. I think that this is a really good experience for me and also others. I can't wait for the next week without walls trip!
