ReportWe took a group of final year high school students to Udon Thani province in Thailand for a week long build. We were charged with building 1 house for a family in Nongnakam Village where there are a number of Habitat houses. The afiliate group were sensational! Tasani, the leader in Udon Thani, Pear who organised our group particularly, and all the guys on the worksite were both really pleasant and welcoming and also really helpful and very good company. I can only say good things about them and their organisation! Our school have been to Udon Thani several times before and so we knew what we were going to and I would highly recommend that we continue to go there and continue to forge close ties with that particular afiliate. The worksite felt safe and was very well stocked with water, food and drinks for the whole week. Of course the heat is an issue, but the guys there are very careful to ensure that you take enough breaks and take in enough fluid. The jobsite orientation was sound and we did see several highly poisonous snakes and scorpions throughout the week, but they were quickly dealt with by the experts. Lunch was also fantastic! On the final day we took the option to visit the Thai Laos Friendship Bridge, ate lunch by the Mekong River, shopped a little at the Indo China Market, and visited some fantastic stone sculptures. It was an excellent finish to an excellent week. The kids enjoyed the down time and it wasn't too much in terms of a sightseing day - highly recommended. We used the Chareon Hotel again - absolutely more than adequate. It was a 20 minute ride to the jobsite and is comfortable if not luxurious. There are a couple of good and reasonable restaurants in the hotel, particularly the one overlooking the lake, and it has a decent pool that is safe to swim in! There is a large and popular nightclub attached to the hotel, but then where is there not in Thailand!! It is also very convenient for both the airport and for central Udon Thani. In fact it is only a 10 minute walk into the centre where there are a multitude of places to eat out. Overall a great experience and a great team in Udon Thani. The farewell dinner and the welcome dinners were a lot of fun and a nice touch. Highly recommended!! One extra thing: we had an excellent half day at a local school playing with the kids and teaching them dances and songs from Japan. We took some money and purchased an amount of sports equipment for the school - this went down really well.
