Sometimes you just have to laugh! Some years ago I was taken to Sakon Nakorn to meet "the family." His sister was also a go go dancer in Pattaya and on the first day I was taken to the appliance shop because mother needed a washing machine. It was only about 8,000 bht so no problem. The next day I noticed the newly installed machine had my name written large in texta on the side - "so por-mer remember who buy for them." I then noticed another farang name on the side of the fridge, then another on the TV - in fact every appliance and piece of furniture in the house had a different name writ large! Por-mer were very proud of their 2 hard working kids !
