Our Days in Southeast Asia

We received funding from ASIANetwork Freeman Foundation Student Faculty Summer Fellowship for Emily Powers Dean, Shawn Fehrenbach, Rogelio Rivera, and Mandy Turner -- all NKU students and Dr. Judy Voelker to travel to mainland Southeast Asia in June 2005 to conduct analysis on ceramic material from the archaeological site of Ban Non Wat, northeast Thailand. Our research will familiarize us with Thai culture and society.

local houses at Ban Thakok

A good portion of the day was spent encountering Thai culture first hand by learning the language and experiencing Thai cuisine. Speaking with everyone we meet and Mr. Nim’s vocabulary lessons has been a great introduction to the Thai language. On the way to the potter’s village of Ban Tha Kok we pulled over for a fresh squeezed Thai drink, Nam Minao, served in a plastic bag with a straw.
