Imagine with me, if you will, a world where a man loving a man is commonplace. A world where parents seek for their son's the perfect mate, a male. This story takes place in the countryside hundreds of years ago in Thailand.
Yo is one of five...
Note* . the video above is the song that Wayo sang to Pha. It has been edited to take out the voices and talking over the music. It's Lovely....
He found an opportunity to talk with his father, he and Wayo sat at the fountain. Mr Suradej finally mentioned a number in regards to the money Yo's uncle had handed over in order to put Park's state right. "Pa, I had no idea that Uncle even had that kind of wealth, does he?"

"I know not Wayo." He was shaking his head from side to side. The troubled look in his eyes was a sorry thing for Yo to see.
He took his son's hand. "My beautiful Wayo, promise me that you will be careful in your choice of men. I'm sure my heart could not withstand seeing you, or Fourth, forfeited to such a man as Park."
"Father, I should apologize, I was unjust to you when you warned me that P'Park's storytelling was spurious. I need to listen to you more."
"You're a good boy Wayo, none of this is your doing. I believe I am at fault. I should have been a better father and saved money as an incentive for worthy young men to take the hands of my sons. With five boys, that seemed to be something I could not surmount, my brother took that from you, not from me."
...........................
Mr Suradej did write his brother-in-law. He paid all of Park's debts to the neighbouring vendors and tradesman. He also agreed that yes, Sutee would share one-fifth of Suradej at his death, in all this, the marriage would go forward.
The news that Sutee had been found with Park and that they were going to be married, had an incredible ability to relieve Wayo's mother of all her ills. She was back on her feet and howling with the same vigour as had always been.
.......................
His Aunt's letter arrived on the morning of the same day as Sutee and Park were to visit, husband and husband.
Wayo almost ran with it, he sat in his room and held his breath as he undid the tie on the leather pouch that contained the parchment.
Her very first sentence, she told him that she was surprised how ignorant he was of the facts. Not only was Beam at Sutee's wedding, but Phana and his brother Nong'Yim were there too.
All of it, everything had been Phana's handiwork.
"Phana left here, Sukhothai, and left a houseful of guests alone and un-entertained. Only Nong'Yim knew where he was going. He arrived in Phra Nakhom before your Uncle did, he was already seeking Sutee."
