Greetings! My name is Geraldine Daray but everyone here calls me Ajarn Gege. I was born and raised on the Philippine Islands and have lived in Thailand for the last eleven years. I have worked in Bangkok, Ayutthaya, Prachinburi and for the last seven years, since 2000, here in the English Program of Kanlayaneesithammarat School,  Nakhonsithammarat. I feel very fortunate to be part of this English Program and have and still am thoroughly enjoying myself here. The reasons I have enjoyed my stay so much are varied; my fellow staff members, very helpful colleagues and above all excellent students. The students always make me feel good even when I'm feeling low ... their intelligence, sense of humour and their general outlook on life makes it a pleasure to come to school. I sometimes feel truly honoured to be the one teaching them.

I have recently become a parent for the first time to a lovely son and having to shuffle motherhood and a full time career is a challenge with very little time left for sleep. The reason I like living here in Nakhon so much is that it's a great town. It's not too big and yet big enough to have what you need on a daily basis. It's also close to mountains, beaches, waterfalls and islands so it's a great location too. If you're ever down in Nakhon look up our school.
