Bangkok Teacher Meetup

 

 

On November 26th, 2022, the XploreAsia Thailand Team organized another Bangkok Teacher Meetup. Our goal of meetups are always to show our support, connect teachers from different intakes, and create opportunities for sharing experiences. We believe that building a good, strong network of like-minded people is essential for living in a foreign country. The meetup was attended by 39 teachers at Bang Kachao, known as the Green Lungs of Bangkok.

The day started with a bike ride to explore Bang Nam Phueng Market. Then we went to The Ozone Bang Kachao Cafe to do a Scavenger Hunt. The cafe is decorated in a garden style with many trees, palm-leaf pavilions, and a small pond. It was so serene.

Teachers were separated into two teams for the scavenger hunt. The competition was heated and the teachers had a blast, mentioning that they had never done something like this before and had so much fun!

After a hard day’s work, we headed off to dinner, which was an authentic and delicious Thai feast at Pob Rak Bang Nam Phueng. The restaurant is located along the majestic Chao Phraya River, where we could see the beautiful sunset, mangrove plants, and the city lights from other side of the river.

Throughout the the dinner, the teachers had a chance to share their experiences of
teaching in Thailand with the group and also play some fun games for prizes. Teachers received a polaroid of themselves as a give away.

“The turnout made it one of the biggest meet ups we’ve ever hosted! Many new friendships were made and existing bonds strengthened.”
