The objective was to have a representative taste of the boarding life in The College at Asian University which boasts an English-speaking environment. The pupils and teachers stayed on campus for the whole time, and had a full and varied timetable of classes, sports and other activities.

Outdoor activities keep us fit

The youngsters arrived on Monday morning, and after an English language assessment were sorted into classes according to their English language ability. They took part in a treasure hunt to acquaint themselves with the layout of the academic building, and after evening games retired to the dormitories. Early morning exercise was a part of the programme, and on Tuesday they were even had a try at teaching Thai to some of the farang University and College teachers.

Was this despair or laughter?
