Students from 4th to 8th grade at Wells International School in Chonburi went on a thrilling adventure to Suan Thai in Pattaya. This amazing trip granted them an experience with authentic Thai culture. The day was filled with lots of fun and learning about Thai culture! They cooked, rode on a horse carriage, went on a boat, saw elephants, made crafts, danced, and even helped plant rice. It was a day they’ll never forget!
A Burst of Fun-filled Learning Adventures
Our fun day started with seeing elephants up close, an unreal experience. Then, we rode on a pretty carriage pulled by horses and took a calm ride around the park. Next, we planted rice in an actual rice field. It was muddy but so much fun! After that, we went on a boat ride through a pond full of colorful lotus flowers. The breeze felt nice. It was the perfect end to our exciting day! Overall, each activity provided essential insights into Thai culture’s beauty, traditions, and values, creating a deeper appreciation and understanding for each student.
Tasty Treats
Everyone learned how to make khanom krok, a tasty Thai dessert made from oil, milk, and corn. Then, we customized and created our own som tum, a traditional Thai papaya salad. We worked together in groups, adding ingredients and mixing them. Afterward, we all tasted the khanom krok and som tum we made, which was delicious. Finally, at lunch, we watched dancers in pretty Thai clothes from different regions of Thailand. It was a day we will always remember!
