"Bank"

Bank is undoubtedly one of the most popular Thai students among our group. Supap is his real name, and his nickname, Bank, comes from a famous Thai singer. He was born in Chiang Rai, attended school there, and is now at Ban Natoe college to improve his English and to, hopefully, find a career in mechanics. Bank has one brother and one sister; both live with him in his hometown of the Bakoy Village. He thoroughly enjoys our company as, in his own words, “We’re all happy together.” He loves dancing with us at “Club Natoe,” playing soccer and takraw with us, and building with us. Banks’s favourite part of our being here is seeing Canadians and their customs—and he loved the hamburgers we made for our Canadian dinner. Bank is the happiest, most smiley person, and really is a pretty cool guy to have around.
