How Do You Sum Up Thailand With Just One Shot?
That’s exactly what we asked our teachers in Thailand to do. In this blog series, we asked our teachers to send us just ONE photo that best sums up their time teaching English there, along with ONE sentence. Most of them expressed just how hard it is to sum up their experience with just one photo and sentence, but here are their attempts! Stay tuned for the next blog of the series, coming next week!
