A few weeks ago I wrote on facebook that I may find a condo to rent here in Bang Kapi but I`m now happy to report the situation has changed. Not only has Pattarasri, but particularly her grown up son who lives with her, and her daughter and the other family members, have shown me that I am very welcome to live here in Pattarasiri`s home. As time moves on, we all get closer and hopefully, one day soon, I will be able to hold a little conversation in Thai. It is this communication barrier, although not vital to ones happiness here, and until one understands and accepts at least the basics of Thai culture, that may cause misunderstandings.
