Abac Musings

A foreign teacher at ABAC (Assumption University of Thailand) is often thought of as being a token teacher for his/her native English abilities. This Blog is "musings" about living while teaching in an international university in Southeast Asia in one of the most exotic cities in the world - Bangkok.

A Weekend in Hua Hin

Travelled to Hua Hin and stayed at the Majestic Creek Country Club and Resort. My wife and I took along Ajarn JD so we could have a break before the proctoring started. Waited most of the afternoon on Saturday to get going so we arrived near 9 PM. Long trip as we dropped my niece off at Thammasart U over by the airport. We were all exhausted so we all went right to bed.







Next morning we had a great breakfast and my brother-in-law took us to look at a lot of available land in the area. We stopped at around four or five sites with land for sale. It appeared that most of it was fairly undeveloped but some did have access to electricity. The land was all around 20 rai or so (10 acres). We even went to an area and got our 4WD jeep-like SUV stuck. It was a rainy day most of the day. We got back at around 4 and decided to call it a day. We had a good dinner at the club house and went to our rooms and crashed.








The weekend was not so relaxing as we travelled a lot by vehicle which was tiresome. Hey, at least we got out of Bangkok for a couple of nights. Oh, my nephew also came in from Maryland. He will be doing the monk thing over the next three months. We plan to go to his monk ceremony and I will capture the whole thing and make a DVD movie.



Today Ajarn JD and I got up and walked around the golf course for about an hour and a half, visiting mostly about school and students. It was a nice brisk walk and the scenery was beautiful.





We caught a bus back to Bangkok at 1100. It took 3 1/2 hours for the return trip. The bus ended at the southern terminal in the Pinklao area. We caught a taxi back to the house and I took it easy for about two house. Reviewed the movie Last of the Mohicans for my American Culture class next semester.
