Wat Doi Dhamma Chedi Temple

Today I hiked in the beautiful, rocky hillside around Wat Doi Dhamma Chedi, which is close to the town of Koksri Suphan in Sakon Nakhon province in northern Thailand. It was very peaceful, the only sounds were the rustling of leaves, the occasional bird chirping, water drops falling from a water wheel and the far-off sweeping of the monk's brooms.

Gorgeous red flower.

Lovely roots embracing a rock outcrop.

Walking through the forest we saw some amazing butterflies, which were a drab brownish-grey on the outside of the wings; but, once they opened their wings up, they were a royal purple. Unfortunately they were too fast to photograph, but it was incredible nonetheless!

Stunning blooms!

I was inspired to make some small circles out of loose pebbles.

The sun was reflecting so brightly off the white rocks that they seemed to glow!

The white rocks were glowing intensely in the ultra-bright noon sun. Very cool!

Dress Code for Female Teachers in Thailand

Since I am a female teacher, I must wear a skirt to work every day. Now, if you’re a feisty feminist like myself, you probably do not fancy this at all. That being said, I have gotten used to it. Although the dress code certainly isn’t my favourite thing about teaching in Thailand, I do recommend the experience overall, despite that. To help you understand what women can and cannot wear while teaching in Thailand, I will show you some of the outfits I wear to the school. However, please remember that each school will be different. I have a feeling my school is a bit more lenient because we are in a rural area. As you can see, I wore almost the same thing every day during the year of mourning. English teacher in Thailand wearing a long-sleeved blue button-up shirt and a shin-length black skirt. If you look closely you can see that I am wearing suspenders, a long-sleeved, light blue button-up, a long, black A-line skirt with single chevron-strip
