My First Impressions of Chiang Mai and the EarthRights School (ERS)


My First Impressions of Chiang Mai and the EarthRights School (ERS)


EarthRights School taken at the second day of arriving Chiang Mai



Everybody might have their first impressions when they reach new places or meet new people. The trip to Chiang Mai and the EarthRights school was the first ever flight and international trip throughout my life. Therefore, it made me experience new things and new people for my life especially, the Mitharsuu Centre Building, the staffs in the Centre and classmates of EarthRights School program 2019, and the environment of the Chiang Mai.
When I first stepped my feet into the Mitharsuu Centre, I felt a very peaceful environment. A beautiful place which is full of various types of plants and trees made me breathe fresh and clean air. Moreover, the whole building is evocative when it is built eco-friendly because seeing this building took me back to an experience in the past where I had a training on environment in a mud building. I felt like everything in my eyes was so beautiful.

In addition, I can feel sense of family and attachment when I met people here. The staffs as well as the students in the Centre are very friendly and helpful for me. Since I’m an introvert, it is very difficult for me to start a conversation with a new people. But, I felt that the people always give me a space to open up my feelings, opinions, problems, experiences and concerns. Besides, the students are always ready to help each other and try to understand different opinions. So I can say that it is an environment for me where I can act as I am very comfortably.

Another thing I want to mention is Chiang Mai City. The mountains and the river alongside the city are just stunning while seeing the mountains from the rooftop of the Centre and visiting the Ping river  gave me a very pleasant feeling. Furthermore, the products like the clothes here are more worth to buy than in my own country. So I think that it is a very liveable place that even I don’t want to go back my country.

In conclusion, Chiang Mai is a place where I can experience the nature especially beautiful mountains and I have been experiencing a very peaceful and friendly surrounding in Chiang Mai and the EarthRights School.

Tragedy of Life

  May be this is the time that I should stop getting back something in return from my job applications. Looking back at the story, it was since December 2022 that I had been looking for jobs. At first, I had been looking for jobs with good salaries so that I can build the house in Mrauk U. I keep looking for that without losing a piece of hope. I came back to Myanmar at the end of July, 2023 after finishing my thesis. My plan was to take a rest for a while, until the end of December, at home since I was too tired from my thesis writing and all the related stuffs. However, I got an offer from a local organization after one month at home to work at Sittwe for an emergency response project. I decided to accept the offer to stay with my sister and support her education since she would have to attend her second-year distance education in law in Sittwe and I also had to work there. Seems like a good choice! I enjoyed my work. I stepped into the very first management job. I enjoyed working th

It was June 23, 2022 that I first met the person, who transforms my life into a miracle. A miracle for my life, a miracle throughout my two years journey in Thailand. I met him for five times in one year outside. Every time I met him, I felt lucky. I auspiciously got the chance to meet him from quite a closed distance. Here is the story. One of my friends in AIT used to introduced me with the BL series named Kinn Porche the series. I started to watch it. Jeff played the role Kim in the series and he is not the main character there and his screen time is very few. His first appear in the series was in Ep 4 if I was not wrong and he did not even show his face at the time. Just seeing his back made me so interested about him. However, I was not into him that much at first but gradually and slowly I thought he was unconsciously in my mind all the time. One day, he appeared in my dream and I realized that omg, I became too much into him. You know what, the next

 Who Creates Climate Change and Who Suffers?   When I was 19 in 2015, I experienced the most serious flood of my life in Mrauk U which is my hometown. The water level was increasing immediately and the flow of water was too strong, if you passed it, you can be floated with the water flow even if you can swim. Me and my sister were sent to neighbor's house from the highland area. My mom and dad were being busy with keeping the household accessories in the place where they thought the flood could not reach. There were a few boats in the flooded main road in front of our house. Here was the question that came up in my mind after flooding. What made this flood happened? At the age of 19 who was in the second year of University, I could not really figure out the answers for the question. However, I come to know gradually that flooding is that the problem that me, my family and my community has been facing. It is obviously a worldwide problem. There are some facto
