Mel Visits Udon!
I don't know if I mentioned it before, so I will quickly list my first and third/final (same) family's names...
Last name: KUNAWONGKRIT
Kun-Meh [KM]: Suporn
Kun-Pah [KP]: Somchai
Nong-Sao [Younger Sister]: Moei
Nong-Chai [Younger Brother]: Tang (currently in Canada as an exchange student)
Pi-Chai [Older Brother]: Tong
Pronunciation help (pronounce whatever is between hyphens as its own word, same as spaces):
Kun-Meh ["Koon May"]
Suporn [Sue-porn]
Kun-Pah ["Koon Paw"]
Somchai ["S-oh-m-ch-eye," but faster - "Sohm-ch-aye"]
Nong-Sao ["No-ng S-ow" - "ow" as in "Ow! That hurts!"]
Moei [This one is harder... it's like a quick sound of "Mow" as in "mowing the lawn" plus "eye" - sort of like "My" but with the sounds of Mow+eye together...]
Nong-Chai ["No-ng Ch-eye"]
Tang ["Dtang" with the "a" sounding like the "a" in "sack."]
Pi-Chai ["Pee Ch-eye"]
Tong ["Dtong" with the "o" sounding like the "o" in "orange."]
Moving on.
Tang [younger host brother who's in Canada right now as an exchange student if you didn't read the above] has a host family, of course. One of the members of one of his host families has a few daughters, one of them named Mel. Mel decided she wanted to come visit Thailand, and while doing so, she "stopped by" Tang's house [my current host family] and stayed for a week. She arrived before I left to camp, and left a few days after I got back. During her stay - while I was here - we had a blast, and I can only tell you that you should look at the pictures, because that tells you our story.

*"gawp" is phonetic for "with" in Thai
Camp lasted 4 days and 3 nights, about an hour and a half's Songtao Ride from Korat to Saraburi. It was at a boyscout camp thing.
It was also the inbound exchange students' last travel together, though we shall see each other in the near future.

That's it for now. :P
Thanks to my sister for lending me her older camera. :D
