What's In A Name - Boonlerd

While writing the previous blog, I realized that Nong Sai's husband has the same name as one of my favorite Thai actors - Boonlerd.

Boonlerd is the water buffalo that appeared in the movie "Bangrajan", which is a historical film about a brave group of warriors that died while defending Thailand from Burmese invaders. Anyway, Boonlerd left a lasting impression on me. Not simply because of his award-winning portrayal of a water buffalo, but because he had 10 ft horns!!!!


Here's another scene with Boonlerd.



I was so impressed that when I moved to Korat and bought a $200 motorcycle, I named it - Boonlerd.
