TSU is now a resident of Thunburi

He likes his new neighborhood, mostly Chinese

They all gather at a coffee shop and talk abt China or play checker

TSU say they are easy to talk to

The fellow in the coffee shop advised TSU that he should at least have one children staying with him because the neighborhood is silent and full of thieves.

TSU says he has no luxury to tempt them because he gave all ME’s belonging to WK

Talk talk mean ey they were like “you are still young to get a new wife”

TSU disagree that marriage is the solution to everything.

The place is mostly full off old man and the younger ones are up on the streets

There is less Chinese here than in Yaowarat Road

Many of their sons are married to Thai girls

Meng Chu visits him every Saturday to clean the house and do the laundry as well as cook some food for him

Winyu visit once because he is too busy

MC told him to go live with WK, but TSU says if WK really wanted him to live with him he would have said so. TSU says that parents and children living tgt doesnt work anymore

MC disagree because she, Winyu and his mom lives tgt fine

AB came to visit him and it seem like the news spread to the coffee shop because everyone was curious abt it when he arrived at the coffee shop.
