Chaa Thai is a podcast spilling the tea on Peace Corps volunteer life in Thailand! Each episode, hosts Dano Nissen and Morgan Shupsky will interview a current Peace Corps volunteer in Thailand and do a deep dive on their experience at their host site. The tea is that there are as many examples of what service is like for a volunteer in Thailand as there are volunteers — join us as we get a taste!
This week we talked to Bill Wierichs, an education volunteer in the Phichit province of central Thailand. His site now is very different than his site was in the Philippines during his last round of Peace Corps service from 2019-2021. Listen to hear about Bill’s experience in two different Peace Corps countries, get some insight into our TESS volunteers’ classroom strategies, and hear how senior volunteers are treated in the hierarchical society of Thailand.
