Date: 23rd Nov, 2024 – Dinner with a Big Fan of Thailand
I had an interesting evening on the 23rd of November. It all started when we met during an expected citizenship duty. Since both of us were off duty, I invited her to dinner at a cozy restaurant with a big menu. As usual, I found myself a bit confused by all the options, as I’m someone who loves local thalis from different regions. The menu, however, was filled with a variety of dishes of Korean items, Western items, and many more fancy options.
While we were finishing our meal, she showed me a 20 Baht note from Thailand. The material and design were quite different from our currency. She’s a huge fan of Thailand, and just the day before, she had taught me the Thai word "Na RAKK," which means "cute." I really appreciated the compliment!
I offered to give her dinner and a ride home, but when I jokingly asked if I could have the Thai currency note as a souvenir, she politely refused.
She shared with me how she fantasizes about visiting Thailand to experience the nightlife and watch men perform strip dances. Although in real life, she’s not really the clubbing or nightlife type, she has this deep love and fascination with the country. It’s clear she has a special place in her heart for Thailand.
Her dream is to get a good job that will allow her to travel to Thailand. For that, I can only say kŏr hâi chôk dee – wish you luck.
Let’s all wish her luck and pray that her dream comes true. Until then, stay safe and healthy!
