It was a cool 80F in Chiang Mai, so as always the Thai are taking no chances that their pets will freeze to death. I asked the driver the name of his dog and he replied, "Fluffy."
I didn't think I'd heard correctly, so once again, in my best Thai, I asked, "Khun maa, chew arai, krup? The answer once again, "Fluffy." Should I have tipped extra for the dog?
