Mai ben what???
Two days before leaving for Thailand, I had a moving sale in New Orleans and sold just about everything I owned. During the sale, I came across a sweet, eclectic young couple who had recently spent 7 months in Thailand. They assured me that my time in Thailand would be life-changing and they taught me the expression "mai ben lai". They explained that it means "don't worry about it!" and that this expression encapsulates the Thai attitude. The phrase has stuck in my mind because I like the way it sounds and I like what it means. I'm trying to live my life with a "mai ben lai" attitude, putting my trust in God and not the things of this world. This is where I'll be posting about all of my adventures in Thailand. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy it and are inspired by what you read.
