Four Score and......

Last week I went to Nuch's cousin's wedding.

Overall, it was a typical Thai wedding with a water pouring ceremony in the morning and a cocktail reception in the evening. Also, typical of a Thai wedding, when the Guest of Honor, in this case the groom's boss, gave a speech, everyone completely ignored him.

Actually, it's not just weddings - at any function with more than 5 people, the person speaking is mainly ignored. If you find yourself in a situation where you are a "Guest of Honor", I recommend the following speech:

It's an honor to be here. (Optional)

Everyone is great. (Don't bother being specific)

Chai Yo!, Chai Yo!, Chai Yo! (Cheers)
