Team Thailand were working out in the blazing sunshine again today clearing away the jungle, unearthing ant and termite nests and hacking down some very – very – stubborn bamboo roots. We’re turning the area into farm land to help feed the displaced Burmese tribe people and children who come to the Buddhist Nun’s school [...]
Read More...Today was a brilliant day – the sun stayed out for pretty much the whole time but we all got loads done. So we may be covered from head to toe in all things from mud to cement to sweat but we’re all feeling darn proud of ourselves too! Some of us turned an area [...]
Read More...After another great day at Dream House – we finished off the ditch in the blazing sun and ran about with the kids some more – a few of us went on a mini adventure to the lake. There were countless trees and stilts from sunken houses sticking out from the surface. We stayed long [...]
Read More...Today started off with a good Sangkhlaburi soaking on the open sided truck. Bloomin freezing but so much fun tearing along the mountain roads! We pretty much fell in love with the kids at the Dream House orphanage as soon as we got there. They’re such great characters and had a lot of fun trying [...]
Read More...We’ve just been totally soaked through for the second time, playing an interesting game of volly ball on a flooded court. Bruises and wet undies all round!

We have just had a quick food stop in a little restaurant practically in the jungle. I think we got eaten by flying ants and other [...]
Read More...We’re sitting on the floor at Moresh*t bus station in Bangkok playing Mullet top trumps. Ethan bears a disturbing likeness to the winning card, Chris Lightening O’rourke! Can’t wait to get to Sangkhlaburi where the hard work begins!
Read More...On a very bumpy boat, crossing the river chao phraya to see the temple of dawn!!
Read More...Finally, after thousands of miles and journeys of varying enjoyment, Team Thailand has finally come together at our hotel right by the famous khao san road. We’ve spent the afternoon trekking the exotic markets acquiring a few bargains on the way! We landed to a cool 38 degrees and it doesn’t feel like its eased [...]
Read More...I’d like to say that I’m all set and ready to go, but my case is alarmingly full of stuff for the kids and nothing of mine aside from a towel. Still, I’m sure the waterbombs will come in handy and the towel could be arranged into an outfit for all occasions. It’s been incredibly hard to [...]
