As we were driving to the restaurant, they casaully mentioned that that day was in fact our last day teaching at the school! Again, no previous warning! We were flabbergasted! We knew school was going to end soon, but not that soon! We didn’t even say goodbye to the children. However, later they invited us back again for a goodbye ceremony at school (serge posted about it) so we did get the chance to see our children one more time.
And even though the dinner party was a bit long (3.5 hours) it was very worth it. We had the chance to meet some other directors from nearby schools. But also – the FOOD! It was the tastiest Thai dinner I’ve had so far in Thailand. Thai foods can be a bit strange, but this time I loved every single dish. I’m not a soup person but Tom Yum Gung soup was out of this world. It’s a spicy/sour shrimp soup with coconut milk.
Below are some other great dishes:
Fish with vegetables and nuts
Steamed vegetables in broth
Spicy dipping sauce
Ribs with herbs
Shrimp fried rice
Below I’m saying a little speech about my experience teaching in their school. They also love karaoke in Thailand and nearly every teacher sang. They really wanted us to sing something too, but the best they got was my speech :)
