Happy Loy Krathong everyone! Here in Thailand it is the holiday to honor the water and river goddess Khongkha, thanking her for providing us with water. It is when people go to festivals and put small offerings on a floating illuminated little boat made of banana leaves or a coconut shell.🌊 🌊 🌊 ✨✨✨

“You’re not going to heal, you’re not going to be able to move on as a nation if you can’t settle this. How do you put this behind you? You have to be fair, you have to be honest, and you have to do it keeping in mind … human dignity, and right now I don’t see any of that.” #TakBai #Thailand #Asia #HumanRights cc: @VOANews https://www.voanews.com/a/hopes-for-justice-expire-20-years-after-thailand-s-tak-bai-massacre/7839297.html

A sweet interaction today--an elderly Thai man held the elevator for me when I got off the Skytrain. As we rode down, he asked in English where I was from and if I'd come to Thailand alone, so I replied in Thai that I had moved here with my wife, who is Thai. He assumed I had used the wrong word for spouse and tried to helpfully correct my Thai, so I explained that we are lesbians and his eyes lit up, he shook my hand excitedly and said "Oh!! Oh congratulations!!" 🥹😭💗🏳️🌈 #Thailand #LGBTQIA
