Saraphi Hospital

Under the direction of Jiraporn, we were able to visit the hospital; this is a community hospital. They have an ER, general area, dental, it's nice!! Their signs has both Thai and Burma because a lot of people from Burma will come. 


This is Dr. Supamat Amphol, she studied traditional Chinese medicine. She took us on tour today! She learned Chinese for 10 months while living in China, and did some practices on Chinese medicines.  Her Chinese is fluent! :) She can read, write, speak, and listen. So good! :) She is so cute too!! She wants to build her own hospital! :) 



This community hospital that we saw today was donated by the temple near by, we went and visited the temple, it was beautiful! 


 There are 9 monks who lives in this building. It is very fancy and each of the monks will need to bless anything each day. They even sell holy water.  They have scrolls of holy scriptures to study as well; and followed by more than 300 rules everyday.



 This is Jiraporn and I, she is a very sweet lady.  She is also very intelligent! She told me she stopped learning Chinese when she was in 4th grade.  But her Chinese is still very good! She has 2 undergrad degree and 2 masters degree.  She taught in the university for a long time, she is retired now and enjoying her life! She is SO sweet!! I love her!


Part of the hospital tour, we had an experience with Thai traditional medicine. Joe is doing a traditional Thai fire massage. In that hospital, We got a Thai massage as well, just for relaxation.  However, it wasn't very relaxing, because the workers talk to each other and we could not understand them.

While we were there, the lady explained to us that every people have different boy types, depending on which month of the year you were born.  I was born in October, all they said was when I turn 32, I will be fat.  I have been joking around it that I can eat whatever I want now and until 32, I will start eating healthily.  :) OK, so I currently weight 107lbs, so hopefully I will not pass 140 after 10 years. :)


After we had this wonderful massage, we had a vegetarian lunch, it was so good! :) And we went to the mall and off we go to the airport to Bangkok!!
