Samut Songkhram

I was going to Blog about today but I have decided to keep things in chronological order to here's what I was up to Sunday afternoon and most of yesterday.


It was work related but like so much of my job, it really does have a lot of very interesting moments. I drove down to the town of Samut Songkhram Samut Songkhram Province after meeting 5 teachers from England who are going to spend the week there as part of their schools' and Satthasamut School's linking activities that form part of the Dreams+Teams project.

Upon arrival, we were taken to our accommodation which turned out to be a very lovely wooden bungalow each set in lush surroundings in the 'Nam Yen' resort, about a kilometre from the school. Nam Yen means 'cold water', which is very apt as the shower was indeed very cold as we found out in the morning.

We were then taken out for an excellent meal of fresh local seafood, washed down with a few local beers and, after a quick discussion about the following day, we all retired for the night in our comfortable lodgings.

More about the next day in tomorrow, yes tomorrow's post so for now I've put up a photo and here's a link to a little tour of the path leading to my room, the room and back to breakfast!
