Quick Geography Lesson

In case you’re reading these posts and thinking - ‘wait . . .where?’ - here is a brief geography lesson.
Erin and I are in Thailand. Thailand is in Southeast Asia.

It borders Myanmar (or Burma, depending on who you talk to,) to the West and North, Laos to the North and East, Cambodia to the East, and Malaysia to the South. It lies between the Andaman Sea (on the West) and the Gulf of Thailand (on the East).

Lampang is a province and a ‘district’(city) in Northern Thailand. (Much like New York is a city in New York state). Hangchat is a different district in the province of Lampang, about 25 minutes from the city of Lampang. We live in Hangchat, Lampang.


Chiang Mai is also both a province and a district. It is the largest city in the Northern region of Thailand. We are about an hour outside the city of Chiang Mai (sort of like Nashua to Boston).


Our Jungle Bungalow is located on the campus of the Hangchat Wittaya School. Just go past the ping pong tables and cafeteria and follow the dirt road until you get to the janitor’s house. Hang a right. You’ll know it’s our bungalow because you’ll see Judy, our guard dog, lying on the porch. You’ll know it’s Judy because he’ll look dirty and hungry.
