A couple of posts ago I mentioned that Thavorn's friend T was down and out. We have not heard anything from her in quite some time and she is not answering her phone. It could be she has no money and her phone plan has lapsed. It could be she is strung out on ICE and is unable to answer. In this case, no news is probably bad news.
There is still no news on Thavorn's visa application. Thavorn heads off to the village to bring her two older children back to Bangkok during their school break. I will be looking after Jaidan this time around so hopefully she will be back in a couple of days. I am looking at Tai and Dun visiting as they play great with Jaidan and also look after Jaidan at night so Thavorn and I can go out and play some pool and, dance, and listen to some music.
Thavorn made contact with her inlaws from her frist marriage which gave birth to Tai and Dun. Her husband died in a motorcycle accident when he was struck by a drunk driver in a pickup. Her inlaws live on the outskirts of Bangkok near Rama 2. It tunrs out they were really nice people and we ended up visiting for 7 hours. They drove us home in their pickup truck.

I always find visits are a little stilted until the beer or Thai whisky starts flowing and then things liven up. Thais never know how to act around farangs unless farangs dictate the action. Then they realize we have more in common than they think. Everyone really just wants to have fun.
