Today was finally the day we went to Thailand.I was gonna be able to board a plane:)

Although i thought it was going to be an amazing and relax ride, it became a disaster when we about to land as the motion of the plane made me dizzy and caused me to have a headache:(. But, it was still amazing experience as i sat beside emilio which actually made the flight more entertaining. My headache lasted till we went for lunch which was actually satisfying <3 .In conclusion today was amazing:P

Emilio's Day 1

Today marks the end of day 1, we didn't really do much except enjoying the scenery through the window of our coach. I managed to observe buildings and infrastructure that are built in a funny shape despite having been to Thailand before. Being in the bus for approximately 4 to 5 hours was definitely boring however i was able to catch up with my fellow friends. When we finally arrived at Uthai Thani, we were able to catch a breath-taking view of the sunset. Dinner was one of favourite moments during this today's trip as everyone sat together and enjoyed the food and celebrated Xin Thong's Birthday. The resort is different from what i expected at first as it is very quiet and we're probably the only ones in the compound. Finally, we practiced our performance item for tomorrow's visit at the hill tribe school. I hope tomorrow will be as great as today or even better than today.

CHECKED IN

D DAY UTHAI THANI TRIP

HEY EVERYONE! Its actually the day itself of going to Uthai Thani guys!

Frankly speaking, I'm very hyped for this trip.

Everyone bid their farewells to their friends and family

and their off to go!

After crossing the immigration, i felt free and ready to go to the next destination.

Right now, we're less than 20 minutes of boarding the plane,

and also Swiss cottage secondary school is actually boarding the same flight as well.

Weird but, it seems like this flight is a majority school flight
