In Thailand, a bpai tiao is a trip of any length. I’ve written about some of my more significant bpai tiaos to tourist destinations here, to be used as travel ideas and tips.
A couple months ago, my co-teacher asked me if I wanted to join her and some other teachers on a trip to Koh Kut, an island near Koh Mak along the Eastern seaboard and near Cambodia. Feeling like I hadn’t spent much time with her, and thinking that this would be a great opportunity for me to bond with some other teachers, I smiled and said, “Yes, that sounds like a lot of fun!” Flash forward to last week, and the day of the trip had arrived – it was time for a fully Thai-style bpai tiao.
