Phokham

My mom and dad lived in Thailand for over15 years. I was there for 3 years but I don't remember anything about Thailand. We moved here because bad people came there and said they were going to kill my parents so we moved to America. Someday we will visit there again. Maybe when I'm 16 or 17 because I am too young right now. It took about two days to get to America on a plane. My mom was scared when she was in the plane. My dad wasn't scared because he was in the army and has been in lots of planes.

Bill Clinton helped us moved here . My dad knows Bill Clinton. My dad knew the president when he was in the army. My older sister's name is Joy. She was born in Laos and she goes to Middle School. My little brother's name is Saysamone. He is seven years old and goes to school at Larrabee.

If you would like to see my family please click here. My mom and dad miss Thailand because my big sisters and brothers live in Thailand. My sister is twelve years in Thailand. We write to them and they write back to us or somtimes send us a tape to listen to what they said on the tape. They are about 20 years old.

This is a picture of a newspaper from Thailand.

What is different about Bellingham then Thailand is there are lots of houses and more people and more stuff in Bellingham. We lived here in America for about 8 years. We first lived in Conall and Lynden. We have lived in Bellingham for about 3 years.

When my mom was ten years old she learned how to sew stuff when she was little she liked to play with dirt in Thailand. She carried water to the house and did chores. Today my mom is a very good seamstress. She has made lots of heart pillows.
