This past weekend, all the Fulbright ETAs were set up to stay with Thai host families. My family treated me with so much kindness and by the end of Sunday, I really felt like I was one of the kids. My host family along with my host father's sister and husband went on a trip to Kanchanaburi province, a highly forested area west of Bangkok. It was about a 1.5 hour drive altogether. I fell asleep sometime during the drive and woke up to vast expanses of green that gently reminded me I wasn't in Bangkok anymore. It was rejuvenating to be among trees again. We visited the Allied War cemetery, the Bridge over River Kwae, and stayed on a resort right on a giant lake/reservoir (Si Nakharin). Here are photos from the trip:
