I have been in the USA a bit and I have a lady that gives me massage 2 times each week. She is Thai and an American citizen. She also loves Thailand and wants to return there one day. She is married and has children of her own. We talk often and chat about Thailand and the boyfriend there. Today she asked me if I would take care of her nephew. I was a bit shocked at this request but I listened to her. She said he had finished high school and wanted to go to University but his family could not afford it. They live in Chiang Rai.

 

I asked if he was gay and she said she did not know but was sure I would be happy with him and we could take care of each other. I asked about what he looked like and she got on the phone and called her family in Thailand. She spoke Thai and I didn't understand much of the conversation. But, I did hear the words, Take Care and Jai Dee Falang. After a few minutes of her with her phone to her ear and half way massaging me, she came back and said the she would get a photo from her family via e-mail this week and send it to me. Tall boy she said, and he is in the army now but gets out soon and would love to meet me. I know she didn't talk to him as I heard a female voice on the other end but I guess someone can speak for him.

 

The whole thing took me a bit by surprise but it was a nice one. Just talking about Thailand with her always makes me want to jump on the next plane and take a trip. I do not think that this conversation will lead anywhere but I guess I was a little surprised that she was trying to fix me up with her family in Thailand. She has a BMW here and I am sure she would be able to afford to help him. So, I don't really know the full story I am sure.

Dear Jomptien,

 

I believed that the first time you said it. The second time, I had doubts but I believe in the good of all men and so I gave you the benefit again. But, now 3 times? I am sorry, but I just don't believe that story anymore. You perhaps should have mentioned the rice fields being destroyed.
