Day 4 Orientation Day
Tuesday, 8th November 2022
Today was awesome! First time i had a Thai language class. And we need to come a little bit late (i mean not as usual) because the van picked us up at 7.30 a.m. And then we had a breakfast in Rattana Building Thepsatri Rajabhat University. And when we first time went there, there’s only one word in my mind. “This is foodcourt was a paradise”. At this place, they had around 15 canteen there.
First lesson was Thai Language class. We needed to go to the 3rd floor of the university building. Here they taught me about greetings and number. Besides that, i learned about how to have a transaction with seller. And on the first day Thai language class for me it was amazing.
After Thai language class they bought us lunch, it was fried rice. After we took a break for lunch and pray, they took us to the another room. Here we had our welcoming party from the Thepsatri Rajabhat University. They welcomed us very well and warm. First we had the speech from the rector of Thepsatri Rajabhat University and so on. Till we come to the welcoming part, when they called us one by one to come to the front and they gave us an orchid necklace (specific and expensive orchid). It was my best moment here cause i fell so proud of my self and made my self realized that i really in Thailand.
Then, one by one we were introduced by Ajarn Lookhin to our mentors. Here i got my Thai name! My Thai name was Baitoey it means Pandan Leaves. It was given by my mentor from university named Ajarn Paew. After introduction session, i come to my mentor. Here i met my mentor and my buddies. I had two buddies, the first one was Amp and the second one was Ray.
After the ceremonial done, we went to the Loy Krathong Festival. In that festival, there was night market which sell a lot of food. Here we tried some snacks originally from Thailand with our buddies till the van picked us up at 20.00 p.m and went back home.
