Sanambin School in Khon Kaen
I stay in Khon Kaen for more than two weeks now and I'm teaching English for kids at Sanambin school. Sanambin translated is airport in Thai; the school is not near the Khon Kaen airport, but during World War II, there was an airport where the school is now. So they called the school "airport school" :) Maybe I didn't get the story right, but if you know the right story, just leave me a comment and I'll correct it.
The teaching is a lot of fun and it's nice to see the kids studying. The school is huge, there are about 3200 students and the classrooms are crowded. In the classrooms there are between 50 und 60 students. The teachers have to use microphones, so the students will hear them.

It took me a few days to get used to the microphone and now it's fine. If you have to teach 60 kids, you'll appreciate the microphone - once the microphone didn't work and the day after my voice was very croaky.
The students are very cute, when I walk in the schoolyard often the students come to me and wai me (wai is a traditional Thai greeting). Some even try to speak English and usually the conversation ends, when I ask them a question and they don't understand it. Sometimes they like to talk in Thai with me and they are shocked, when I answer in Thai too ;) usually it's funny for them, when a western teacher speaks Thai.

Sawadee Kha Kruu Tomi,
Nice story really :-) I can imagine that it's fun teaching there. They're cute.
Hallo Tomi
Wie geht es dir? Finde ich super, dass du die Kids unterrichten kannst. Ist sicher süss und befriedigend.
Uns geht es gut, und der Stress im Geschäft hat sich auf einen normalen Level gesenkt. Im Februar machen wir nun Ferien auf Cran Ganaria. Ich habe Ferien nötig und ich möchte nicht allzu weit fliegen.
Wie lange bleibst du noch in Thailand?
bis bald
liebe Grüsse Thomas
Hi Tomi
I look quite often into your blog - with a lot of pleasure. It's great reading about your "thai-adventures".
It would make me happy to have a litte conversation with you (in german please ;-). Maybe you find the time to write:
