Kanchanaburi paarrty!

August 9, 2012

Two weekends ago most of the English teachers here at the school decided to go to Kanchanaburi to visit some of their friends and to party and so we set out on a 6 hour bus ride through Bangkok and onto the town getting there Friday night at about 10. I thought we would lay low that night since the big party was supposed to be Saturday night and a group of 6 of us were going hiking to check out waterfalls, ride elephants, and see the bridge over the River Kwai. Well…that didnt happen…we partied until 4 something in the morning…got up at 7…lugged our hungovers bodies into a van and went hiking! It was something out of the books for sure…beautiful sites but it poured the WHOLE entire time we were hiking trying to get from waterfall to waterfall…we only made it to the 5th because it got so dangerous to get up and down the mountain that we just couldn’t risk going up anymore. I didn’t get into the pools by the waterfalls because the fish were huge and they are the type that like to nibble on you…It was a fantastic time and I am so glad that we did it. Since the weather was so bad we weren’t able to go river rafting(which was FINE by me) we go to ride elephants and then we took the death railway train and checked out the bridge. Then…we partied some more. needless to say the 5-6 hour van ride home was awful…i am pretty sure I was convinced I would puke all over everyone at some point because I was so hungover…


and now…..

Those are the fish…huge! 

This happens to be my boss 

getting dirty 🙂 

Thats right…4 buckets of 4 different drinks

Bridge over River Kwai
It was a pretty great weekend! Then we had 3 days of work and were off to an island…I’ll have to post those sometime this week 🙂 

Hope everyone has a great Thursday!!

Friday Friday!

August 3, 2012

Welp as it turns out waiting till last minute to book things because your roommate is broke is a very bad idea! We couldn’t find a flight, bus or train to the city we were supposed to go to this weekend 🙁 after being super pissed for about an hour I calmed down and we headed to one of the islands I visited before so here I am on the beach again…just not the beach I had hoped to see. Yesterday I laid on the beach all day…got a foot scrub & manicure there before it started raining and had an amazing oil massage last night…guess I’m just going to spoil myself until I feel better 🙂

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!!!

Its the weekend!

August 1, 2012

Well for me that is…. had a wonderful weekend this past one and now I am on my last day of work this week. It is a Buddhist holiday so we have Thursday & Friday off of school! Unfortunately that means I might be kinda quiet on the blog front this week but I hope to have some quiet time to relax and read blogs by the pool or on the beach if there is wifi. I am heading to Koh Phangan for the Full Moon Party. What is that you ask? It is a giant beach party held every full moon where tons of people come to an island and party the night away.

These are some pics from the internet: 
Its going to take us a 12 hour train ride to get there because the flights were just a bit on the expensive side since it’s a holiday weekend. I am excited to get there and get some sun and relaxation. Next week is my last week at the school in Thailand then I have two weeks to travel and relax before I am off to China to teach some more kiddies! I actually kind of wish this had been my plan all along because now I am getting to experience two different places! 

Anywhoodles! I am very excited to be going and I hope to get some pics posted of last weekend and some more Bangkok photos and pics from this weekend up soon!
