I know little of 'Lamphun'. Yes, I can and will google it. But, right now, I know very little.
All I know is it's up north country, and a Thai bird I've known for many years (but never shagged, exceptionally enough ) has just moved there (it's her family home, I presume).
And she is asking me to visit her. She knows I'll be in BKK at Xmas and e-mailed me asking me to swing by Lamphun.
She lived in BKK for over ten years. She wasn't ever a tuppenny tart or bargirl (yes, yes, I know... but I've known her for over a decade and never seen any signs of hookerism, active or latent: she waited tables in 'respectable' restaurants.
She is a good woman. I regard her as a friend. I got a severe and sudden middle-ear infection a good few summers ago in Bangkok, pretty brutal, and she took me to Bumrungrad hospital, waited while I was examined, and even paid for my treatment (and the taxi, and medicine) even though it made her late for work (I didn't have any cash or cards on me. I paid her back later that day, but she trusted me, and that's what remains).
She's not asking me for anything. She's a lovely woman, kind and cheerful. I'd love to see her, so I want to know about Lamphun. Any advice and/or comments gratefully received.
There might be a shag at the end of it if I play my cards right, like. Yes, of course I was thinking that.
