One Day Trip

In the morning of July 13th, we all gathered at school at 8:30 next to the library for registration and instructions before heading off to for our day trip! All the English Teachers greeted the MEP students and explained the itinerary for the day. Once that was done, we hopped onto the buses and the whole group was off to the Outrigger Resort in Laguna!

When we arrived at Laguna we were escorted to a presentation room where we would learn about the resort and tourism in Thailand. There was a presentation from the community director as well as a representative from Outrigger Resorts. It was a great learning experience for everyone and the resort staff were very accommodating and happy we were there.

After the presentation, we were taken on a guided tour of the resort. We were shown the facilities and amenities of the resort; like the VIP Club and the exquisite pool area. We were also shown Bangtao beach, just outside the resort and saw the exercise area, the fine restaurants, and the children's club. To end off the tour we were treated to a boat tour of the famous lagoon.

The group was then taken to La Mezza (one of the restaurants in the resort) to enjoy a gourmet buffet. Before we ate we were given a short course in western table etiquette and arrangement by one of the friendly hotel staff. For lunch we were served a selection of Thai and Western food consisting of potato salad, sweet and sour fish, French onion soup, fresh baked buns, pasta salad, fresh fruit and much much more.

After lunch we were taken to the Elephant Park to do outdoor activities with the English Teachers. We partook in a scavenger hunt, practiced yoga and dance, and had nature contemplation time.

After the outdoor activities we left the Laguna resort and went over to the public pool. There were two large swimming pools and a water slide and everyone had tons of fun. After a couple of hours at the pool we headed back to PKW. We all learned so much about the Laguna resort and we all had so much fun.
