Both schools are in Nang Rong city and quite close to the Opportunity Village in which the girls live. Our village is also in town almost across the street from the community vocational school and the main police station. We are still far enough from the schools that we have a small bus (actually a song taew) for transportation. Nang Rong is the second city of the province, so it contains these and a number of other schools. Thanks for the comment.

I leave each posting with more questions, a very good sign that you said just enough. Is this school in the nearest town? If so, what name has the town? Does each kid travel to school by bus from your little settlement? You're doing such a great job of integrating yourselves as farang. An anthropologist friend from Cornell labelled the Thai as having a "loosely structured society", especially when compared to Japan. Hope to see you both soon, but Texas is a fir piece from Seattle!
