We didn't feel like going into Bangkok today and we had seen pretty much what we wanted to see in the city, so we stayed in Nonthaburi. We headed off to the shopping centre to buy a few things for our trip. We had run out of tea and peanut butter (and chocolates!) so we thought we should get some before heading to Yasothon. G.S. note that I found Toblerone here too!
Yasothon is a town of less than 25,ooo people. I don't think there will be much sight-seeing for us in the area, but hopefully we will be kept busy with Baha'i activities and helping out around the school. The school goes only to grade one, but it is well attended by about 500 students.
We take the train tomorrow night. It is a 10 or 11 hour ride, but we have first class tickets so we will have two cabins and freshly starched sheets, towels, soap, etc. (according to the seat61 website anyway!). The tickets are very reasonably priced as well. Hopefully it will be better than the Vietnam train experience, which was pretty grungy.
We went next door to the Baha'i Centre again this evening. We had supper with all the kids. Sunantha had taught them how to cook and they had made a delicious noodle dish with chicken. They even served it out to everyone. Afterwards we had some devotions and then there was a story in Thai that we didn't understand, but it had a fox and a lion in it. We then helped the kids make oragami fox puppets. It was great fun!
