Leaving a wintry UK behind in early January 2009, I arrived in Thailand full of anxiety. Having recently graduated from University I wanted to do something that was meaningful and worthwhile. Although lying on a beach in southern Thailand has its appeals, I wanted to do something that would be rewarding. In every sense I got that.

For the English teaching placement we were placed in a small town called MoungChoum, 20 minutes from Fang. It was here that we moved into our own Thai house. The house which was located only a 5 minute bicycle ride from school had all the modern features that you would expect from a Thai house – a squat toilet and a cold shower. To begin with it was an experience, but we soon got use to it. Looking back at our time teaching, staying in MoungChoum was probably one of the best decisions we made. We became totally immersed in village life from being invited around people's homes to being known by all the villagers.

I started this day with making a beginning packing my backpack since I will leave Fang tomorrow. A strange idea it is to leave after being here with joy for four weeks. This small town in Northern Thailand is the home of Blood Foundation and it was a pleasure living and working here.

Fang is more than just Blood Foundation. The whole area is beautiful and the people are friendly and hospitable. Tourism hasn’t taken over here yet and it’s the right place to enjoy the best curries and all the other amazing dishes that the Thai kitchen has to offer.

To give you an impression about my adventures here I will share a few days of my life here in Fang…

The purpose of the camp was two-sided. On one hand, the main purpose was to hand out goods to the people in a refugee camp, to the boys from a temple school and to the people in one of the villages.
