Next week, PC Thailand Group 134 Volunteers will travel to Bangkok for a Close of Service Conference to prepare them to complete their service. It will mark the start of the many goodbyes to come.In the spirit of closure, Sticky Rice would like to offer some "odes" or, rather, "epodes" from our Group 134 writers as they look back on their past two years in Thailand.

In March 2020, the Peace Corps evacuated over 7,000 volunteers worldwide. On April 3, 2023 the first full group of volunteers in Thailand since then was sworn in.
