MY THAI FRIEND
WHAT IS FRIEND? HERE IS A THING WE NEED TO KNOW WE DO NOT SELECT OR ASK SOMEBODY TO BE OUR FRIEND, WE BECOME FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE UNKNOWINGLY WHEN WE TALK WITH SOMEBODY AND THEN SLOWLY THINGS START TO GET STRONGER. WE FEEL GOOD WITH THAT PERSON AND START TO SHARE EACH OTHER THOUGHT. WHETHER YOU DO FUN THINGS AND GO OUT WITH HIM PLACES. YOU ENJOY HIS COMPANY. THIS HOW WE BUILD FRIENDSHIP WITH SOMEBODY.
THAI FRIEND
WHEN I AM TALKING ABOUT THAI FRIENDS. IT MEANS THAT FRIENDSHIP IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE THAT GOES BEYOND THE LIMITS, LIKE CROSSING BORDERS, CULTURE AND DIFFERENCES. IN THIS HUSTLING AND VARIOUS LANDSCAPE OF GLOBAL FRIENDSHIPS, HAVING A THAI FRIEND IS AN ENRICHING AND REWARDING EXPERIENCE. THAILAND IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE “LAND OF SMILES”. IT IS NOT JUST A BEAUTIFUL DESTINATION FOR TOURISTS BUT ALSO A SAFE OF WONDERFUL FRIENDSHIPS WAITING TO BE EXPLORED. I AM GOING TO TELL YOU HOW SPECIAL IS A THAI FRIEND.
HOW SPECIAL ARE THAI FRIENDS
FIRST AND FOREMOST, THAI FRIENDS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR WARM WELCOMING NATURE. WHAT THAI FRIEND WILL DO WITH YOU WHEN YOU MEET HIM? WHAT I LIKED THE MOST WAS HIS HOSPITALITY. WHEN I BECAME FRIENDS WITH A THAI FRIEND I FELT LIKE I HAD TOO MANY FRIENDS BUT THAI FRIENDS ARE THE BEST WHEN HE INVITED ME TO HIS HOME I WENT THERE AND HE GREETED ME WITH A GENUINE SMILE AND OPEN ARMS, MAKING ME FEEL INSTANTLY AT HOME.
ONE OF THE MOST UNFORGETTABLE QUALITIES OF THAI FRIENDSHIP IS THEIR LOYALTY AND SUPPORT. LET ME TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED TO ME, I WANTED TO HAVE ONE MORE TATTOO ON MY HAND BECAUSE WHEN I WENT TO THAILAND FOR THE FIRST TIME I GOT ONE TATTOO FROM PATTAYA NEAR ISTANBUL KEBAB. FOR WHICH I PAID 8000 THB. AND THEN MET ONE PERSON WHO ASKED ME ABOUT TATTOO PRICE. I TOLD HIM HOW MUCH MONEY I PAID FOR THIS. HE WAS SHOCKED WHEN HE HEARD 8000 THB. HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE. THIS TATTOO IS NOT WORTH 8000 THB. AND HE TOLD THAT WHEN YOU COME NEXT TIME AND WANT TO HAVE A TATTOO HE WILL TAKE ME TO A GOOD PLACE. I SAID OK TO HIM.
OH, I DID NOT TELL YOU WHERE I MET THIS GUY AND BECAME FRIENDS. WE MET IN A CLUB IN PATTAYA. SO WHEN I WENT AGAIN THIS FEBRUARY ON HIS BIRTHDAY HE WAS VERY HAPPY. WE ENJOYED A LOT 6 DAYS AND NIGHTS. SECOND LAST DAY I TOLD HIM THAT I WANTED TO HAVE A TATTOO. THEN HE TOLD ME OK. BUT BEFORE THAT I WANTED TO KNOW THE PRICE OF THE TATTOO THAT I HAD DECIDED TO MAKE. AND WENT TO THE SAME PLACE WHERE I GOT MY FIRST TATTOO. THE SHOP OWNER SAID 21000 THB FOR MY TATTOO. WE WERE SHOCKED AGAIN. MY FRIEND TOOK ME TO A TATTOO SHOP. WE WENT THERE, MY THAI FRIEND ASKED HIM HOW MUCH MONEY FOR THIS TATTOO. ARTIST SAID 6000 THB. NOW I WAS SHOCKED AGAIN. I DID NOT THINK OF ANYTHING, I KISSED MY THAI FRIEND’S FOREHEAD AND SAID THANK YOU, BROTHER. I GOT THAT TATTOO DONE THEN IN 6 HOURS. HE BROUGHT FRUITS AND VEGGIES FOR ME WHILE I WAS GETTING TATTOOS AND HE ALSO FED ME WITH HIS HAND.
YES OF COURSE THE FOOD. LET ME TELL ABOUT THE FOOD THEN.
CULINARY DELIGHTS FROM THAI FRIEND:
THAI FOOD IS CELEBRATED WORLDWIDE FOR ITS BOLD FLAVOURS, AROMATIC HERBS, AND COLOURFUL PRESENTATIONS. HAVING A THAI FRIEND GAINING THE KEY OF THAT CULINARY DOOR. IF YOU OPEN THAT DOOR YOU WILL FIND MOUTHWATERING DISHES LIKE PAD THAI, TOM YUM GOONG, AND GREEN CURRY. MY FRIEND TOOK ME TO A PLACE TO EAT THAI FOOD. HE ORDERED THAI FOOD BUT IT WAS ALL RAW FOOD THEN HE MADE FOOD BY HIMSELF IN A POT. AND WE ATE IT AND I FOUND THAT VERY TASTY.
SPIRITUAL CONNECTION FROM THAI FRIEND:
THAILAND IS ALSO VERY RICH IN DEVOTION AND SPIRITUALITY. MY THAI FRIEND TOOK ME TO A TEMPLE ALSO WHICH WAS IN HIS LOCAL AREA ONLY. WE WENT THERE AND I PRAYED TO LORD BUDDHA WITH HIM. HE ALSO SAID THAT OUR SPIRITUAL TRADITION IS QUITE SIMILAR TO HINDUISM. WE DID MEDITATION TOGETHER AND HE ALSO INVITED ME TO PARTICIPATE IN RELIGIOUS FESTIVALS AND CEREMONIES SO I COULD HAVE A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THAI SOCIETY AND CULTURE.
OUTDOOR ADVENTURES WITH THAI FRIEND:
LET ME TELL YOU THAT HAVING A THAI FRIEND MEANS HAVING A LOCAL GUIDE TO OUTDOOR ADVENTURES, WHETHER IT IS TREKKING TO NATIONAL PARK, SNORKELLING IN CRYSTAL CLEAR WATERS, OR ZIP LINING THROUGH DENSE FORESTS. MY FRIEND ALSO TOOK ME TO SOME BEAUTIFUL BEACHES AND OFFBEAT DESTINATIONS FROM WHERE THAILAND WAS LOOKING VERY BEAUTIFUL. HE ALSO TOOK ME TO VARIOUS MARKET. ALSO, THE MARKET WAS SHINING FROM FAR AWAY AND WHEN I ENTERED THAT MARKET IT WAS FILLED WITH FRIENDLY SHOPKEEPERS. I LOVED VISITING THAILAND AT THAT TIME JUST BECAUSE OF MY FRIEND. I DO NOT THINK EVERYBODY GET THIS TYPE OF PRIVILEGE THERE WITHOUT HAVING ANY THAI FRIEND. ONE MORE THING I WANT TO ADD. DO NOT GO CLUBBING WITH HIM ON ANY WALKING STREET. BECAUSE THEN YOU DON’T WANT TO GO YOUR HOME COUNTRY AGAIN. GO AT YOUR OWN RISK WITH HIM.
FINALLY, I WANT TO TELL YOU ONE TRUTH THAT MY THAI FRIEND WAS A GIRL.
