sawadeekup

today i was walking to school wearing my wales rugby polo tee i bought from thailand. as i walked on russell past the old jail i passed a coach filled with young primary school children. one boy at the back of the bus placed his hands together and bowed his head, greeting me in a traditional thai greeting. i returned the greeting.

so now i really must learn thai. even when i was in bangkok the shopkeepers and airline counter assistants spoke to me in thai. but the only things i can say now are kai hor by thoi, kao pad num, kai jiao poo, pai ngong kup ngu, mai lee chai and hey thamluwerd. have to brush up on my thai and find a hot thai uni chick! (although that may not be very smart as there are associated risks with thai chicks)
