Hello, สวัสดี (Sa wa dii), Hola

It is unclear what Thai people refer to the last day of Sports Week as but from what I witnessed, I consider it to be nothing less than a finale event. This such event involved Kerry getting picked up at 6:40am (when it was actually quite chilly and the sun was on its way up) and driven to school, where we then walked over to the temple to meet everyone. I obviously had no idea what was in store for me until I arrived at the temple to find my P. 4-6 girl students dressed in what I would call a “dance costume” complete with fishnets and black boots … full hair (including fake hair pieces) and makeup completed the look. There were also students dressed in traditional Thai attire as well. As time went on, it became clear that all the schools had assembled a ‘drum line’ and baton twirlers to parade down the streets of Nong Hee and process into the school grounds … how entertaining!
