Sawadee Kha Thailand!

Hello everyone, back again with me. I'll continue my journey of being a participant of SEA-Teacher Batch 6.

31st July 2018 was the awaited day for me and my friends Hanja, Rendi, Jefri and Cahyo. We were going to Thailand for the first time except for Jefri because he was a participant of Sea Teacher Batch 5. I and Hanja will join the SEA-Teacher program in Pathum Thani with Host University Valaya Alongkorn Rajabhat University Under the Royal Patronage (VRU) while others will follow the Summer Course Program in Bangkok. We had same flight so we went to Thailand together and Yapp I have 4 bodyguards kkkkk~

To go to Thailand firstly we had a flight from Lampung Raden Inten II Airport (TGK) to Jakarta Soekarno Hatta International Airport (CGK) and it took 40 minutes. Then continued from CGK to Thailand Don Mueang Airport (DMK) and it took around 3 hours. As we arrived at 5.00 p.m we directly went to the immigration to check our arrival card by the officers then took our baggage. Then I and Hanja separated with Jefri, Rendi, and Cahyo because we should meet our coordinators from VRU at the arrival gate to pick us up to the dormitory. Finally, we met Miss Nit and Mr. Ton who already waiting for us, I was so happy and still can't believe. Then Miss Nit told us to wait for other participants, they are Upik and Nor from Ahmad Dahlan University. Not a long waited, they came and then we were driven to our dormitory namely "SangSawang".

It took 45 minutes to go to our dormitory from DMK. Along the way, Mr. Ton told us about Thailand and some buildings, he also bought us a bread and water, he was so kind and humble. Finally we arrived in SangSawang Dormitory, actually, Nor and Upik got same host school with me which is VRU Demonstration School near to the VRU so we lived in the same dorm while Hanja got a different school so He just stays in the van. The dormitory also quite close to the University, we just need to cross the bridge to go to University. Arrived in the dorm, at the 2nd floor there we met Nisa and Rizky from Tadulako University who came earlier than us, so five of us will spend our days in the same dormitory and host school. After Miss Nit and Mr. Ton showed us the dorm and the room then they left. Then our Dormitory's owner Phi Poom told us everything about the dorm also Thailand. Gratefully she knew English well because she has been stayed in London for years and had a family there and then she came back to Thailand. I was so happy to meet her, she was so kind and taking care of us very well. I feel blessed met new friends and family there. After that, I got Nor as my roommate and Upik with Nisa while Rizky alone. Then we had rest and prepared for the next day.
