Learning Thai

This morning, while Candice and Claire did the grocery shopping, Eliza and I did a little exploring in Pak Nam. This is a town at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River and it's around 10 kilometers from our place. We don't know much about the town, but we're considering it as a possible location for future team members. They have a fascinating market along the river and also have many large ships passing through on their way to and from the Bangkok port. I think that it could be a great place to interact with a lot of Thai people. Since it's outside of the city there aren't many foreigners, so someone living there would likely get a lot of attention and many chances to practice speaking Thai.

We met a group of friendly men sitting near the dock where a boat had just unloaded a bunch of small fish. Eliza enjoyed watching the workers sort the fish and enjoyed the cookies and soda that the men gave her.

We also came across these men making a huge Thai dessert.

After our fun excursion we bought some fried chicken and sticky rice then rode the songthaew back to Thippawan.
