Finnaly ! A time that i waiting for a month comes. It’s my first time i have a travelling abroad. I was very excited to be participated for SEA Teacher Project 5th Batch by SEAMEO. I prepared all things very well from passport, flight ticket, insurance, luggage, and remembering some thai basic words ha ha ha. Sunday, January 22nd 2018. It was time to leaving Bandung. My parents and my sister accompanied me to the shuttle station. The shuttle will pick us up to the airport. . . There are 3 students from Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia who will be a delegates for SEA Teacher Project to Chiang Rai Rajabhat University. Me, Salma (Elemntary Education), and Tias (International Program Science Education). We met at the shuttle station to go together to the airport. The shuttle comes, and time to say goodbye to my family. We arrived at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at 12 am. It was too early and we have to wait for check in for about 4 hours. Our flight is at 5.35 am, and we will have a transit at Kuala Lumpur before touchdown at Bangkok. But, Salma’s flight was different than me and Tias. Her flights is at 6.30 am and touchdown at Bangkok directly at 10 am. But we will have a same flight from Bangkok to Chiang Rai. I’ve been on plane before, but it when i was 4. So, i still nervous for my second flight in my life. Me and Tias use Malindo air, and we have some breakfast on the plane. We arrived at Kuala Lumpur for connecting transit. We don’t have any time for relaxing at Kuala Lumpur because we have to check in quickly. The location of the terminal from landed to was next fligt was quite far. We rushed to the next terminal and use airport link train. That was cool! Touchdown! Finnally we arrived at Don Mueang airport, Bangkok. The imigration process at the airport was quite long, but the process went smoothly. Then, we met Salma again, with another delegates from UNS, Novita. But, Novita’s flight earlier than our flight because we choose the cheapest ticket flight hahaha. We have about 4 hours to wait our flights to Chiang Rai. We found a halal restaurant at the airport, taking pray, and check in. We are really happy to the airport facilities. They have a clear sign to find muslim prayer, although Thailand is not a muslim majority country.
. . Welcome to Chiang Rai !! We arrived at Chiang Rai at 7 pm. Mrs. Nok, coordinatior of SEA Teacher Project from Chiang Rai Rajabhat University waiting for us. They picked us up to the hotel and meet with another delegates from Indonesia and Philiphines. We went to Seven Eleven together to find something to eat. And me, i tried to bought a sim card and internet data. I spent 30 minutes to bought sim card, because they can’t speak english. I boought tourist sim card with 4.5 GB internet data for a month. After that, the boys in this project have a small talks in my room. Eric from Bantul, Winthrop from Philiphines, and me. We have a shared about our places, discussed some recent topic in Indonesia and Philiphines. Long trip, new journey
