childrens home goodbye

This weekends trip out took us to San Kampaeng Hot Springs where we had arranged to meet Khruu Khem and her friend Anna from Holland.

Anna lives in a village nearby to Huay Sai and has been helping Khruu Khem with her Saturday ‘Say Hello’ club for some time now.

We met inside the Hot Springs compound at just after 1pm, and Anna and Khruu met and chatted with all the kids, before they all dissapeared, desperate to play in the water and in the playground.

This week we told the children they could play in the smaller pool, close to the geysers as it is just 10 baht per child, next to 50 baht at the big pool. The children were quite happy and had a fine old time.

The adults spent time relaxing by the stream where you can douse your feet. It has to be said that the water was a little too hot for comfort on this occassion. Still the ambience of the beautifully landscaped gardens still lent a relaxing time.

By 3.30 everyone was happy to go home having had plenty of fun for the day.
