khun laea chan

22 June 2016

I literally can't begin to thank this woman enough for all of the things she's done for me this year. She's put up with my thai faux pas (one day I called her a bad word in thai instead of calling her 'quick' like I intended), she's played charades with me until we've gotten to the bottom of what I'm trying to say (acting out someone trying to fix the toilet is a lot harder than one may imagine) and she's worked to improve her english  (she must figure my thai is hopeless) so that we don't have to go through these scenarios quite as regularly. She's cleaned up after my many, many messes (who would've thought giving 4 year olds glitter and feathers would be a disaster?) and done it all with a smile on her face. Our time together is coming to an end so today she surprised me at school with flowers. She told me they were beautiful, just like me. Talk about a tear jerker.

  3. "khun laea chan" translates to "you and me". at school we call her p'nun but her name is nanteenee. i wish i would've had your knowledge when we were ordering at mekiki no ginji.
