Khaawp Khoon Khrap

Ton Lamyai

There's a lovely flower market in Chiang Mia, Ton Lamyai, which presented me with the ideal opportunity to buy a small gift for the Hotel Staff and Shop Staff who had helped me after my accident.  I've got a Thai friend who is a trained flower arranger and I got her to make up a couple of flower baskets for me.  The look of delight and the humbling gratitude of the girls that I gave them too, as my way of saying Khaawp Khoon Khrap (thank you), almost brought a tear to my eye.  It's no wonder they call Thailand the land of smiles.
