One of Fai’s uncles friends is a member of the royal Thai police. At the party, he made me an onhorary member of the royal Thai police however I have no authority at all. Lol. See the picture of the cap.
And here is our bedroom, tv, air conditioner, our dresser, and this is the view from our room on one side.
It’s Wednesday 6:28 am. Yeah we get up early here. We were in bed last night early.
Today we are going to meet with Fais aunt friends.

So right now we are sitting at an outside bar called law ta pu. It’s a small mostly wood structured building with lots of plants and chameleons on the walls. Looks like a lot of young people hang out here. A few tables sitting by the road side. We are waiting for other friends to arrive.
And actually I just learned that the guy that we are meeting here, this is apart of his house and he is the owner of this bar. Pretty cool.

I don’t know how she did it but Fai slept the whole night through. I just woke up again and now we are up for the day.
We are going to go get a bite to eat and I’m going to get a haircut. I had tried to get one before we left but just ran out of time.
It look sunny and cloudy outside.

Fai went out to try and get her license updated. While she was gone Fai’s uncle and brother brought me downstairs. We were standing in the living room looking at our wedding picture that is up on the wall. They told me that while Fai was gone they were worried about her but then when they saw that picture it took their worry away and everyone was happy. They know that Fai has a new family including all of you. They know they don’t need to worry about fai while she is away because she has a new family. That was a pretty cool moment to have. I’m glad that they shared that with me.
Without a doubt, marrying Fai has changed both of our lives for the better.
When we get back home we will show you some photos we were able to find of Fai when she was a little girl. Cute stuff.
I’m seem to having problems with YouTube so maybe posting videos might be a problem.
I’m going to try to sleep some more now…until next time!

I’ve slept for a few hours now and my body still doesn’t know time it is. I’m thinking it will take a couple days to make this transition.
So after this ceremony with the threads, which Fai and I are still wearing all of them. We have to wear them all for 1 night and then we can remove all but 1, we have to wear the one for 3 days. It’s there tradition.
One of Fai’s uncles, Fai’s brothers wife, some of her friends and a couple cousins speak English. And as luck would have it, there was a girl who from our country who came to the party too, she is from Georgia. She is a teacher at the school where Fai’s uncle works. Lots of teachers in Fai’s family.
As they came around some were able to give the warm wishes in English. So far as long as I have someone near me who speaks English we can communicate together.
It’s hot here too. It’s like 90 degrees during the day and about 75-80 degrees at night. The house is comfortable temperature inside.
So many warm gestures throughout the night. They had tons of Thai food and her uncle went and got me some spaghetti and pizza. That was a treat.
After we received everyone’s threads they had us go up on stage. They did a brief q and a to us. It was pretty cool. They asked me how did you meet Fai? Why do you love Fai? What do you think of Fai’s family? And I had throughout the night been giving things the thumbs up. I gave Fai’s family 2 thumbs up for sure. A wonderful bunch of people. They asked Fai why does she love me and she said becuase I am the best.
After that Fai and I sang our song together for her family, we were a little rusty but got through it ok lol. We haven’t sang the song for awhile.
Then Fai sang a song to me and her uncle translated for me. The song’s meaning was about you are the best.
In the distance right now I can hear the rooster crowing.
Fai’s aunt has a big business here so last night we were able to try the nuts her company makes.
Pretty cool stuff.
Throughout the night everyone told me that i look much younger and smaller in person then from the photos.
Speaking of photos, in Fai’s parents house, they had our wedding photo blown up and framed in a fancy frame.
During the party they had this photo on display in front of the stage.
Amazing stuff.
The photos here are of the food from the party, only some of it. Throughout the night they kept bringing more and more.

Fai’s family planned an amazing party for us to celebrate our arrival and a pre.wedding party.
It was amazing. They had a live band, Thai dancers, karaoke, and the family welcomed me into there family. How this works is Fai and I are seated facing each other and a relative will come up to us with a piece of thread. They give us warm wishes of happiness and wish us a lifetime of love. Next is I would support Fais arm while they tie the thread around her wrist. They would do the same thing for me while Fai supports my arm. Occassionally some people would tie money into the thread as a gift.
I’m exhausted right now falling asleep as I write this, so ill write more tommorrow.
It’s Monday 10.22 pm. Go ravens!
