The color of the taxi may be different and he may have put on a few pounds/kg, he may even have been missing for the last 9 months, but alas, the Roon-in-ator is back. Similar to last time, he found me on the street corner, waiting for me in the morning as I hailed a cab to take me the 15 minute walk to work. Khun Roon was there yelling, "Hey Boss, Hey Boss". I immediately welcomed him back.
Turns out his previous two tone red and blue taxi was repossessed for non payment and the sidewalk noodle stand didn't pan out just as he thought, but Khun Roon is back and still as funny and quirky as ever. To my knowledge he has no more children, already with two sets of twins from different mothers, and he immediately wanted to know about Khun Boss Lady and if she was "baby?". Sorry to disappoint.
There IS normalcy in Bangkok, even if it took 9 months for him to return. Just in time for the rainy season to begin.
