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?
