There has been what I consider an unusual reaction to my son in Thailand. Before we came here I knew that the Thai people love children. But what is happening is beyond what I expected. People in stores stop and smile and wave at him. The security guards at the supermarket run out to greet him and go out of their way to get him a cart. People stop and touch his hair or his face. On the subway (MRT) when he entered, old men got up and gave him their seats. The young girls sitting next to him started giggling and talking to him and smiling at him. Before we got off one managed to take her photo with him! I am sure it is on some Thai facebook page or something. Then on the way home on the skytrain (BTS) some lady was smiling and laughing with him and gave him some candy (which are what we consider cough drops) before she got off the train! Literally, everywhere we go somebody is going crazy over him. He usually responds by smiling and flirting back with the people. He has made the comment, "I am a super star in Thailand. I love it!"
Here are some photos from our adventure to Aisatique. We rode a taxi to the MRT, then the BTS, then a boat to the market. Then on the way home all of those except instead of a taxi we rode a tuk tuk!
