Swimming with Thai Students, Isaan Thailand.

We had our English Fun Camp the other weekend; I have blogged about that at these following links here and then here, if you want to read.

In the afternoon the kids had an hour of swimming time before the final activity of the day took place. I had been over and seen the chaos going on in the swimming pool, when I went back to the room where the foreign teachers were preparing food for the kids and told them what was going on, Mr. A wanted in on the action.

Mr. A arrived at the pool and pretended he was going to jump in; this got the attention of the kids, who must have been thinking that he was just kidding around.

After about ten seconds of joking around, Mr.A lept in to the pool, much to the shock and horror of our English department head. Her expressions through the pictures were hilarious.

Well the kid’s faces had lit up; our bosses’ mouth had gone completely agape as the splash of water rose into the air.

As Mr. A breached the surface of the pool the kids looked at him with glee, they decided what most kids this age would do, attack him of course and in numbers as well.

First a few of the bravest kids grabbed hold of him.

Then of course others had the courage to join in on the charge.

They started to grab hold of Mr. A and were trying to get him under the water.

They were nearly winning the battle of strength.

Mr. A then took control and showed his mighty strength.

But the kids quickly fought back in numbers.

Mr. A then foolishly started a splashing war that he just couldn’t win, not when you are outnumbered by so many. He did give it a good go though.

Mr. A then used his brains and decided to use the numbers to his advantage, maybe this was also that he was plum tuckered out. He made a plan of splashing the teachers who were doing the water safety.

This didn’t last long; it was much more fun jumping on Mr.A, so again all the kids were attacking in numbers.

So again Mr. A had kids on his back, legs and splashing him. The kids loved having him jump in the pool and to tell you the truth, Mr. A loved jumping in as well; this is because really he is a big kid deep down just like the students.

Owen, you are a scared little twat. Why don't you leave a link for a blog, if you have one. Or send me your email (it won't be published) and I can talk to you about Thai culture.

Behave like Soi dogs, that is a ripper Owen/Star or better Wanker

You want to debate me on Thai culture please drop me a contact and I will be happy to discuss your ideas.

Owen, are you in Thailand? Can you read or speak Thai?

Owen this is for you คำต้องห้ามคำสแลงคนที่น่ารังเกียจ

Now that Owen is not being cultured and I would never ever say this in Thai too even my worst enemy.

My comment seemed to explode and so I'm posting it again.

All for Mr A. The kids will remember the swimming for the rest of their lives. Wonderful stuff. Thais are very very light-hearted and love acting the fool. Mr A is the best. He understands Thai culture very well.

I also know that he is a very good teacher. Reminds me of Robin Williams. Lets it all hang out.

Keep up the good work.

By the way I would hate to be a child in Owen's class but he probably can't teach.

Hi Michael, you are so right about Mr. A he knows Thai culture very well.

Kids are kids no matter where in the world but all countires have do's and dont's, but jumping into a pool and fooling around with the students is not disrespecting Thai culture at all.

As for Owen, well he is welcomed to express his opinions, but he does little in backing up how this is disrespecting Thai culture.

Owen is more than likely the same sad tosser I have had before (it is as I traced his IP address to the same server)


I hope he isn't a teacher that is too scary to even consider.

Thanks for commenting again my friend.

Nice post JB! Mr. A looks like he made the kids day.

Now, Owen (profile not available) you must be a loser Brit as nobody uses the word "twit" since primary school (do you homos really talk like that?)
As far as a soi dog goes; don't worry, the Thais love soi dogs more than you.
So, coming from you-a soi dog is a compliment. Please leave your address or local shithole you drink pints in all day; I would love to pay you a visit you useless cunt.
