Thai People LOVE Amanda!



Amanda has lots of adoring fans in Thailand. Even the Thai equivalent of the TSA at the airport stopped scanning luggage to check out her hair and adore her!! She is always making friends. She receives gifts and free things shopping. She also gets many deals offered to her when bargaining. If I hand her the money when shopping at a market, it is often a winning strategy because the prices go way lower for her! She's soaking it up, except for one thing: She doesn't like that she's referred to as "baby"! But it does work wonderfully for her independent spirit when she can find new friends and choose to sit with them instead of always mom and dad. 

On our boat ride to Ko Surin, she made new friends. She rode over sitting with them. 
A student visiting the Bangkok Art and Culture Center loved Amanda
Amanda ordering food at a night market, they were delighted that she could do it herself....people would admire her hair, smile at her and if she actually spoke a few words in Thai they would go absolutely nuts!!
More admirers...
