Climbing in Thailand


Well, Daniel, Rebekah, Mister Danny, Nok, and I went to the Racquet Club, where they have a pool, weight room, and a climbing wall.  It cost us 500 baht each, for the day, which is kinda expensive.

Daniel and Rebekah are two teachers at EIS, who previously got married on before coming to Thailand.  Daniel teaches High School Math, and Rebekah is a 7th Grade teacher.  They are both high energy people and fun.

Mister Danny is a High School teacher, this year he has been working as the Administrator for Curriculum.  Very fun guy and always willing to go try and climb a wall with us young guys!

And then Nok and Me, well this was Nok's second time trying to climb, and she did fantastic.  She climbing all the way to the top three times and did the hard rock surface climb.  I think we may pick up top roping as a hobby.

Anyways, this was a great day and really enjoy climbing.  This place is to expensive, so we usually go climb at the National Stadium, where it is free.  The only thing is it is harder and higher.


March 14 Trip to Muak Lek


Two weekends ago, Nok, her Dad and I decided that we would spend the weekend relaxing as a family.. haha.. at there home in Muak Lek.  Then plans got changed a little, we had to go down to Pataya for a meeting with Nok's Dad and a church plant there.  So we spent one night there in Pataya, then drove 4 hours North to Muak Lek to relax for a Day... that is when I took these pictures.  It was early Sunday morning, and sunny.
