There were 8 exchange students and about 20 Thai students who ended up going to this Survivor Camp.
Friday afternoon, we met the Thai kids at Ransit Campus, which is 45 mins away from Tha Prachan (my campus). From there we took a bus to the military camp. The bus ride over was our first encounters with all the Thai students and immediately we knew we made the right decision to go to this camp!
We arrived in the evening and ate some great food! We had some ice breakers and got to learn about each other...oh yeah very much like a summer camp! During this time I discovered our bathroom...squat toilets and community shower! Fun fun! We didn't do much the rest of the night since it was already time for bed, but since I am a night owl, I stayed up late and played Thai card games with Rangsit kids! 
Next day we had to wake up bright and early. We had a fairly large breakfast consisting johk (rice soup) with vegetables and eggs (YUM). Then we visited the Military museum. After that the real fun began.
We had to go through a military walk rally with 8 different obstacles courses in our path. This was really hot, sweaty, and painful but definitely fun!
We also went hang gliding! I went to a shooting range for the first time! That night we learned a lot of Traditional Thai dances. We also had the chance to show off our talents...I chose Indian Dancing lol.
On our last day we played Thai sports! Also, I canoed for the first time. We went Zip lining over the water and BB Gunning. Absolutely amazing!
I had a time of my life past weekend. It felt great to be a kid again =D
Below are some pictures!
