Report on Study Trip to Ayutthaya

This is Ashin Visuddha, studying in second year BA International English Program. I am from Myanmar and I would like to share my experience on our study tour. On 11/Sept/2010, our “Research and Statistics” teacher Dr. Montra Leoseng has conducted a study tour to various places. In our class, we students are divided into various groups and we are doing a research on Environmental Pollution. There are six groups, Air Pollution, Water Pollution, Soil Pollution etc. My research topic was No 1 Air Pollution. We had submitted to Dr. Montra Leoseng each of our group’s topic and we had presented about our topics in our class one group after another and the teacher asked to the students to do something one after another concerning with our topics to be skillful about our Statistics and Research. We had studied it the hold semester; this is what we had learned in the class before we had study tour.

We visited first to the garbage dumping area it took us about 30 minutes distance travel by bus from our university to there. When we reached there, we interview the people living in that area. Our groups had asked many question to some lay people who live in there about Air Pollution as our group topic. They had explained or answered all what we asked the questions. There was a good translator who is our teacher Dr. Montra Leoseng for our group. Many people in that area are suffering from respiratory problem. They do not get help nothing from government. Then we suggest them to plant more trees but they said that area is commercial area and the land owner doesn’t allow them to plant trees. Trust me the place where we visited smells very bad. After lunch we visited to a temple (Wat Phra kaew), where body of the monk is still kept in coffin. That temple is very nice to visit someone who is Buddhist to know how he was or what he did. He is a good example of Buddhist. He was meditation teacher and many people have learned how to take meditation from him. Many people visit there to pay homage on that body. His disciples said that he was very strict in Vinaya (rule). And people believed that he was Arahant. At last, we visited to a place where there were so many bards, at those there a group of forest was interviewed to the monk who lives there. This is where we have got experience from outside. Finally I thanks to Dr. Montra for teaching and our study tour successful.
