Finally some pictures of Wat Lamphraya School

Each morning, the students line up at the flag pole and recite the national anthem. They are wearing the scout uniforms they wear every Thursday.
This is my favorite picture of the students so far. These boys are very proud of their frothy smiles. Every day after eating lunch, the Thai children brush their teeth.
This is the view of the front of the school. I teach in the English room, which is the two doors on the far right. Next door is a computer lab. It isn't used until next semester. The giant satelite is so that we can have internet access.

At the end of the day the students line their bikes up and wait to be dismissed. A teacher makes sure it is clear and then waves each student on their way.

The older, luckier students travel by motorbike. It is still strange to see a 14 year old boy or girl carting around 2-3 other children on a motorbike. Hardly any of them wear helmets.
