Welcome to Chantaburi

Tagesbericht 1: Montag

 

Wir sind um 8:00 Uhr von der Schule nach Chantaburi losgefahren. Die Fahrt dauerte 4 Stunden, wir haben einen Halt gemacht. Als wir angekommen sind haben wir gegessen und dann die Zimmer bezogen.  Am Nachmittag sind wir Kajak gefahren. In den Kajaks waren 2-3 Sitzplätze, es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Als wir im Resort zurück waren, durften wir im Meer oder Pool baden. Danach gab es Abend essen. Jetzt durften wir noch bis 10:00 Uhr spielen oder wach bleiben.

Daily Report 1: Monday

We were very excited when we were at school and we started to travel in the bus. The bus ride was four hours long; we made a stop in the second hour. We started to travel again and we arrived. We made a break, then we went to the mangroves. We went to do kayaking in the mangroves. We crashed a lot of times and we also got wet, but we had a lot of fun. On the way to the mangroves there was a tower; after the kayaking we could go up the tower, where we saw a really nice view. We came back to the hotel and we ate a snack and then we could go to the pool and sea. This first day of the trip was so amazing!

Shrimp Farm and "Chicken Prison"

Daily Report 2: Tuesday

Day 2: Tuesday

 

 

 

On the second day we were ready to saw the dried fish,  the chicken prison, the shrimp farm, and the waterfall.

 

We stopped on the road and we saw lots of dried fish. We tasted one, or maybe more if we wanted more. We went to a French prison at Chantaburi and the teachers told us that it was called “Chicken Prison” because the prisoners will go in the prison and above them chickens will be placed. Those chickens are allowed to live on top of the prisoners and do their droppings onto the prisoners as much as they want. It sounded gross. After that we went to a shrimp farm. The owner showed us a lot of shrimp and he said “the female shrimp has a lot of eggs. The male shrimp would not live in the females’ pond.” We also went to a waterfall and swam in front of it. The water there was freezing and most of us did not swim. There were also some gigantic fish and some small fish too. The small fish would try and bite us, but it wasn't painful at all.

Daily Report 3: Wednesday

In the morning we had the pirate games. They included volleyball, morse code, treasure hunting, building things out of sand, and crafting pirate hats and eyepatches. In the evening some of us went squid fishing. The squid fishing was quite fun; some of us got only one squid and the teachers got more than one. The squid was splashing the ink in the water; the water was so black and dirty. When everyone came back from squid fishing, Frau Jakob read us a story before we went to bed. The story was about a pirate called Silverbeard who wanted more pirates in his crew.

Squid Fishing

Tagesbericht 4: Donnerstag


Heute hatte Jonathan und Emilie Geburtstag. Wir sind um 7:30 Uhr aufgewacht und sind mit Frau Büchi am Strand entlang gelaufen. Um 8:00 Uhr gab es Frühstück. Dann um 9:30 Uhr Uhr sind wir zu einem Aquarium gelaufen. Wir haben verschiedene Fische gesehen und abgemalt. Danach durften wir Souveniers kaufen. Als wir zurück kamen sind wir lange im Meer geschwommen. Manche wollten Kajak fahren, doch sie hatten Pech denn das Wasser war zu niedrig. Dafür hatten sie umsonst ein Getränk bekommen. Endlich war die Piraten Olympiade dran. Gleich gibt es Abendessen und heute Abend feiern wir unsere Piraten Party.

Daily Report 4: Thursday

For breakfast we had Nutella, and there were two people who had a birthday: Emilie and Jonathan. After that, we took a long walk to the aquarium and we watched fish. My (Mungkorn) favourite fish is the baby black-tipped shark. Then, the teacher told us to sketch a fish you like the most so I drew the baby black-tipped shark. Then the teacher mixed the drawings up then they gave them out randomly. Then we have to go look for the name and the habitat of the drawing of the fish you got and I got the clown fish. After that, the teacher brought us to the souvenir shop but I did not buy anything because I forgot to bring my money. Then we went back to the hotel. When we got there we had 10 minutes to have a break then we came to eat lunch, I didn’t want to eat lunch at first (Pob), I actually wanted to drink milk and water, but I had to or I’d go hungry, so I ate a bit then I just walked around with a couple of guys and a gal. Then I went into the ocean and I took a shower and played a bit of jenga.
