Gentle shove towards self-help


Boyfriend Maiyuu is making progress with his efforts to find an outlet for his bakery produce.

The sister of a woman he knows has opened a hairdressing salon/coffee shop close to a four-star hotel in Silom.

She is in the process of finding suppliers for the shop, and Maiyuu could be chosen as one of them.

He made her some chocolate cupcakes as samples, and went to see her. His new friend was enthusiastic.

'You bake like a farang, which I like. Thai stuff is much sweeter, and doesn't appeal to all tastes,' she said.

I don't know what happens next. I gave Maiyuu B5,000 as start-up capital.

Hopefully he will put it to some good use, such as helping himself find work.

    I hope that it goes well for him.
    You're very generous to give him 5,000 start up money. You should feel very proud of yourself.

    All the best, Boonsong

    Thank you. I hope it works, as I am sure he will be happier working than sitting at home all day as he does now.
