You didn't have to tell me

if you didn't want to talk about it.

That's OK.

I'm happy to tell you

anything you want to know.

Have you ever felt like this...

meeting someone for the first time

and you just click?

When you don't see them,

you want to meet, waiting to talk...

...wanting to know more.

Have you ever felt like this?

How about you?

Yes, just once in my life.

I felt it once, too. May be it

happened at the same time as you.

When will you return to Suphanburi?

I want to go back there again.

I'm not sure. Sometimes,

when I want to go, I just do.

No advance planning.

Thank you for taking me to

a place with really good atmosphere.

One thing I need to tell you.

I'm married.

I want to tell you.

Because if I don't tell you,

I will be miserable.

I envy your wife.

She has an adorable husband.

If I go next Sunday,

do you still want to go?

Other than doing

business in Thailand,

are you planning

to stay here permanently?

We are planning to buy a house here.

David loves Thailand so much.

He said it was love at first sight.

I feel really touched to Thailand.

Excuse me.

This is Mai.

I just found out my mother will

arrange a 60th birthday party for...

- my father this Sunday.

- This Sunday?

Why? Am I calling you too late?

This Sunday I have to inspect

a site with Mr. David.

I'm sorry that

I didn't tell you before.

Too bad. My father will be

disappointed.

That's OK, though.

I'll tell my mother

that you'll come later. Bye.

Excuse me, sir.

I don't understand Chinese.

Grandpa is telling

you about your life.

Tell him I'm not interested.

Grandpa says be careful.

Somebody will take you away.

Danger from a snake or the river.

Grandpa says be careful.

He sees death around you.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Wait for me!

Quick!

Nuan!

Please let me see Nuan.

Nuan, are you alright?

Is Nuan alright?

What's going on?

You don't look too good.

No, it's nothing.

Then let's get in the boat.

I've been afraid of water

since I was little.

I tried to learn to swim

many times. Never could.

Last time you were not this scared.

Last trip, the boat was bigger.

A lot of people, too.

It wasn't this scary.

The more people,

the more dangerous.

This time, only two.

You are my only responsibility.

I'll take care of you.

That's okay you can stand up.

Go ahead, just stand up.

If the snake was not there in time,

I don't know

what would have happened to Nuan.

Are you sure they were the two?

I couldn't see them clearly.

But if they were bitten like that,

I'm sure it must be them.

There's more than one

cobra in the world.

I know, you already said that.

Deep inside,

you know the one that did it.

I'll take it to him.

What's up?

Why don't you change

outside this room?

No one answered the phone, Mom.

That's OK. Soon, your father should

be in a better mood.

It's his 60th birthday

and he wants to see everyone.

Chanachon is very busy, mother.

I have no idea

when he'll be finished.

I'll keep checking.

You must have been

here for along time.

Yes, 5 or 6 years before Mrs. Kosoom,

Mekala's mother came here.

I thought you were a local person.

I'm from another province.

I was in big trouble then.

A friend took me here to work for

the Mekala's father.

Is that lady your wife?

No, we're not related.

I have no relatives now.

I used to have a sister,

a brother in law and a nephew.

They're all dead.

I'm sorry. What happened to them?

Drowned right here.

Two bodies were found

my nephew's body never was found.

Daeng must have become food for

the crabs and fish in the river.

If he was alive,

he would be about your age.

I had no idea that you're such

a good cook.

My mother taught me

but I'm not half as good as Mom.

This coconut is fresh from the tree.

The locals eat it with palm sugar.

Do you want to try some?

Use 3 fingers to scoop.

Use your thumb to push

the food in your mouth.

Do you eat like this at every meal?

Not really.

This is a special program

to attract tourists.

Especially this tourist. He's quite

fascinated with Thai culture.

With service like this,

I'll have to...

...use Mekala's tour

service more often!

Save your praise.

There are other special programs

waiting for you.

If we put some money in the lantern,

the old folks believe we're doing

something good for the river.

Wish for good things while the bad

karma floats away on the river.

After we float them, we'll get

the good luck we wished for, right?

It's just a superstition.

I'll make a wish anyway.

For you, you must have

everything already.

You don't need to wish for more.

Not yet. There's one thing I really

want but haven't gotten yet.

Then make your wish.

I want to see the river

a little longer.

Would you mind

if I spend the night here?

May I? I can sleep out there.

I think you must really

be attracted to this place.

I'm not sleepy yet.

You should go to bed. It's late.

Mekala, are you alright?

I wonder how you raised your child.

The girl can't even iron clothes.

What's all that noise?

It's Mekala.

She's so clumsy the iron fell on her.

It's true, sir.

It was nothing serious.

Her screams startled everyone.

That's not true. Look, how come

the wound is this big?

Do you think I'm lying, Kosoom?

That's enough

Don't make such a fuss.

You too, Kosoom.

Tell Mekala to be more careful.

Be careful next time.

Be patient. Stop crying.

My daughter mustn't let anyone

see her crying.

If those people who mistreat

us see you cry,

they'll mistreat us even more.

Why do they have to

treat us like this?

Because we the newcomers.

No one wants us to outshine them.

Mekala, just wait, I will not

let anyone harm you anymore.

What's that, mother?

It's krachai,

in the old days,

people used it for...

...For what?

It's not kid's stuff.

Go stir the curry for me.

I'll take care of this.

It's delicious and spicy.

No one else makes it like this.

Up so early.

The bird woke me up.

What kind is it?

It's a koel bird.

It sings only in the morning.

It's time for me to go, isn't it?

Please have some breakfast.

My maid has prepared

some rice porridge for you.

It's me.

Where have you been all night?

Don't you know

I'm worried about you.

I'm sorry. I forgot to take

my mobile phone with me.

Is that dad?

It's your father.

Tuan is about to be vaccinated.

Talk with him.

Hi, Dad.

What's up, cowboy?

I'm about to have a shot.

I know you're not afraid,

are you, cowboy?

No, I'm not afraid of the needle

but I am afraid of pain.

Just a pinch like an ant's bite.

When a doctor gives you a shot,

you just think about other stuff.

It will be over even

before you know it.

I'll think about you.

That's alright,

mom will be by your side as well.

Thank you.

I'll see you at Counter #8.

Thai International, 5 am.

Thank you.

Good luck! Rich!

Our job horoscopes are not

that great lately.

Love horoscopes are bad, too.

Unbalanced love.

Unrequited love or loving someone who
