Today, two different people asked me if I was ลูกครึ่ง. I suggest you don't put that word into Google Translate. It will tell you the wrong meaning... and that is not what I got asked today. ลูกครึ่ง literally means half-child--and those who were asking me were wondering if I was half Thai. Before last week, I had never been asked that before... but in the last 7 days literally 3 or 4 people have asked me. I must say, I'm flattered; I think Thai people are absolutely beautiful. :) My question is, do you start to look like the people you live among? Because in that case... I've lived in Thailand for a year... I guess I could look a little more like a Thai person now :)
I think their reasoning is two-fold. 1) They tell me พูดชัด -- you speak Thai very clearly. And 2) I simply look Thai!
Alright.... I'm okay with that!
