Chaa Thai is a podcast spilling the tea on Peace Corps volunteer life in Thailand! Each episode, hosts Alyssa Strong and Lilly Hromadka 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 episode is rated R. Viewer discretion is advised!
We are joined by the legendary diva who introduced herself to our cohort as “Mack, like the truck.” She then proceeded to get “smacked” by a truck during training, and lived to tell the tale (to us, here, if you’re interested).
This week, Lilly and Alyssa share lots of laughs with the one and only Ubon Ratchathani YinD volunteer, Mack. Some tears are shed and lessons learned, like how the struggles of isolation and Peace Corps service can result in a deeper understanding of yourself, the reality and benefits of situations often viewed as shameful, and the coolest-looking way to flip people off. Hop on this rollercoaster of emotions and brace yourself for a h*** of a good time!
In Loving Memory of Jude and Ramona.
