Thailand: Week 22 - Report

Appreciating the Little Things

Letter Cutting The Thai Baan Association has been busy preparing for a major event that’s supposed to take place in two weeks (you’ll have to wait for the Week 24 Report to read more about that), which also means that I’ve been given special tasks to do when I’m not teaching.
