Our Brother friends both have Thai boyfriends in Thailand. They see them twice a year. The boyfriends are not money boys as they are now too old now to be money boys. Instead they are faithful partners to our brother friends.
This amused me a great deal:
Friend, Hi my sweetheart
Thai, Hello my darling
Friend, How is bar going (that he paid for to be set up, a local bar for local people)
Thai, Close three day, election
Andrew to friend, why close for elections?
Friend, it is a matter of security I think.
Andrew, lucky they don't celebrate christmas.
Friend, they do. Bar is christmas decorated.
Thai politics are very complicated. I am lucky that I have a Thai workmate who gives me explanations that cut through the bull dust.
So cute, wish I heard this convo :)
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wish OUR elections were dangerous ... for some of the candidates.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a Happy Christmas and all good things.
You can almost set your watch by Thai coups. I hope this latest result delivers stable democracy. Have you ever noticed how often porn appears in Thai womens' names? Must research that.
