Day 3 (06.01.16)

Doi Suthep Bus rides once again! Sitting next to Son (sorry Van for abandoning you!), was such an enjoyable time. It was so interesting sharing our dreams and listening to how life is like on this side of the world. I realised how different and yet similar our societies are. Individuals living in Chiang Mai…

Post-trip reflections!!!

“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” I believe that this quote is adequate in representing what I felt at the end of this trip. As according to my pre-trip reflections, I believe that there are many things that I am unaware of around the world. Despite…

Day 5 / 8th January

Leadership, this is actually a really sensitive word for me. I had had some leadership experiences, but there were always unpleasant times as a leader that I found hard to accept. As a leader in my CCA, Interact Club, in JC, I found it really hard to satisfy all the members in my care. It…

Day 4 / 7th January

Today was the day that we visited the university where Mohn studies at, Chiang Mai University! Before heading to the Faculty of Political Science, we visited the Department of Family Medicine where we conducted interviews with the doctors. What took me by surprise were the doctors’ fluent English speaking skills, they managed to communicate effectively…

Day 3 / 6th January

We visited Doi Suthep, one of Chiang Mai’s most well-known temples today. Doi Suthep was filled with visitors from different countries, all waiting to offer their humble offerings while praying for themselves and their loved ones. Hoping to be able to make some prayers, I contributed a small amount for donation and held a flower…

As such, we agreed to employ an inductive approach in collecting, interpreting and analysing…

Day 2 / 5th January

Today we visited the White Temple. A place of worship that is now a tourist attraction for many. What amazed me was the amount of effort the artist has put into the design for the temple as it was full of minute details that carried deep religious symbolisms at every corner. The temple was dazzling…

Day 1 / 4th January

“Wow, this is really different from Bangkok.” This was the only thought I had as I surveyed my surroundings the moment I stepped out of Chiang Mai’s International Airport. Thinking back about it now, this simple thought that went through my mind reflected how ignorant I was of Chiang Mai as a whole. Of course…

Day 5 // 8 Jan

The highlight of today would be the leadership activity, the Amazing Race. The post activity reflection session really helped put things into perspective, and I realized I had actually learned a lot from this simple activity. One of the major things I did today was to evaluate myself as a leader. Jason, our senior attached,…

Day 4 // 7 Jan

We went up to Chiang Rai today and visited 2 of their main landmarks, the Wat Khong Run, or White Temple, and Baan Si Dum. Prior to the trip I had searched for information and pictures of the White Temples. The pictures projected a very pure, pristine, even somewhat holy and sacred to the temple,…
