Welcome to Chapter 7 of the 'Vehicle Ad' podcast.

Dang wakes up early to prepare a simple but heartfelt English breakfast for Manow. While Manow remains asleep in bed, Dang busies herself in the kitchen, cooking up eggs, toast, and beans, filling the space with the delicious aroma of a classic breakfast. Her gesture is meant to start their day on a positive and caring note, reflecting her affection for Manow. As the sun rises and the kitchen fills with the inviting scent of the meal, Dang carefully arranges everything on a tray, ready to surprise Manow with the comforting breakfast once he wakes up.

 

Dang’s morning starts with a gentle, affectionate gesture towards Manow. As he lies peacefully asleep, she approaches him with a soft and loving kiss. This tender moment is her way of expressing her feelings and setting a positive tone for the day. The kiss, filled with warmth and care, marks the beginning of their shared morning, underscoring the deep connection and affection they have for each other. It’s a simple yet meaningful act that reaffirms their bond and sets a loving atmosphere as they prepare to enjoy the day together.

 

Manow steps into the shower, enjoying the refreshing burst of cool water. He uses butterfly pea shampoo and conditioner, which not only nourish his hair but also leave a subtle, pleasant fragrance. For his body, he lathers up with rice soap, known for its gentle, moisturizing properties. The combined scents of the herbal shampoo and rice soap create a soothing, aromatic experience, leaving him feeling rejuvenated and ready for the day.

 

As Manow finishes his shower and steps out, Dang eagerly awaits his opinion. With a playful smile, she asks, “So, how did you like the butterfly pea shampoo and conditioner, and the rice soap? Did they work for you?” Her eyes twinkle with curiosity, hoping for positive feedback about the products she thoughtfully chose.

 

Manow grins and replies, “I really loved them, Dang. The butterfly pea shampoo and conditioner made my hair feel incredibly soft and refreshed, and the rice soap gave me a nice, clean feeling. Your choices were perfect—I feel great, and it's clear you put a lot of thought into it.” His appreciation reflects both his enjoyment of the products and his gratitude for Dang’s thoughtful gesture.

 

Dang beams with pride and joy. “I’m so glad you liked them, Manow! I made sure to choose products that would make you feel good, and it means a lot to me that you appreciate them. I wanted to make your morning special and show how much I care.” Her pride in her efforts shines through, reinforcing her deep affection and dedication to making their time together enjoyable and meaningful.

 

Dang, still radiating her morning pride, gently asks Manow, "Would you like me to help you dry your hair?" Her offer is filled with warmth and care, reflecting her desire to contribute to his comfort and well-being. Her gesture not only highlights her attentiveness but also her intention to be close and supportive as they start their day together.

 

Manow, touched by Dang's thoughtful offer, kisses her hand softly and says with a smile, "Thank you, Dang. I’d love that." His gratitude and affection are clear, and he eagerly accepts her help, appreciating the loving care she extends as they begin their day.

 

Dang gently dries Manow’s hair, her movements careful and tender. As she works, Manow smiles, clearly enjoying the attention and warmth of the moment. The intimate gesture deepens their connection, highlighting the affection and care they share.

 

After finishing drying Manow's hair, Dang cheerfully asks, "Would you like to join me for the English breakfast I made? I’m excited for us to enjoy it together."

 

As they sit down to enjoy the English breakfast, the kitchen fills with the warmth of their shared laughter and the aroma of the hearty meal. Dang and Manow savor the delicious spread, their conversation light and affectionate. With a playful grin, Manow teases Dang about the perfect crispiness of the bacon, calling her a "master chef" in a mock-serious tone. Dang laughs, her cheeks flushing with delight as she playfully swats at him, enjoying the sweet, intimate moment. Their easy camaraderie and shared smiles make the breakfast not just a meal, but a cherished experience, highlighting their deep connection and mutual affection.

 

As they finish their breakfast, Manow looks over at Dang with a curious expression. "Do you have work today?" he asks, his tone blending concern with interest. Dang pauses for a moment, considering her schedule, and then replies with a reassuring smile, "Actually, I have a few things to take care of this afternoon, but nothing too urgent. Why do you ask?" Her response is light-hearted, reflecting her willingness to balance her work with their time together.

 

After Manow's question, Dang brightens up and explains, "Yes, I have a dance performance this morning for my friend's grand opening of a khao soy restaurant. It’s a special event, and I’m excited to support her. I’ll be performing a few routines to help celebrate her new venture." Her enthusiasm and commitment to supporting her friend add a touch of warmth to the conversation, showing how she balances her personal passions with her friendships.

 

Manow, curious about the details, asks, "What kind of dance will you be performing? Will it be part of the tuk-tuk parade, or are you focusing on traditional Thai folk dance for the restaurant opening?" His question reflects his interest in Dang's activities and her plans for the day, as well as his eagerness to understand how her talents will be showcased.

 

Dang responds with a smile, "It's just Thai folk dance, nothing related to the tuk-tuk parade. We're helping out a friend who’s opening a Khao Soi restaurant. We've known each other since kindergarten, so a group of us are performing to support her." Her explanation reveals the personal connection and the supportive nature of the event, highlighting the close bond she has with her friends.

 

Dang asks Manow, “Are you free today? If you are, would you like to come with us to the Khao Soi restaurant opening? It would be great to have you there.” Her invitation is warm and enthusiastic, reflecting her desire to share this special moment with him.

 

Manow replies, “I’d love to join you, but I have a work schedule this morning. I need to deliver some flowers. I’m sorry I can’t make it, but I hope the event goes wonderfully!” His response is sincere and regretful, showing his interest in supporting Dang but also his commitment to his responsibilities.

 

Manow adds, “Even though I can’t join you, I’d be happy to drive you to your friend’s khao soy restaurant. It’ll give me a chance to support you in another way and ensure you get there on time.” His offer is warm and supportive, reflecting his willingness to be involved in Dang's plans despite his own commitments.

 

After finishing breakfast, Dang gathers her clothes and carefully places them on Manow’s tuk-tuk. With everything set, they head out, and Manow drives Dang to her friend’s khao soy restaurant. As they arrive, Dang leans in for a heartfelt goodbye kiss, a sweet and tender gesture that expresses her affection and gratitude. Manow smiles warmly, feeling reassured by their bond and her touch, before watching her head into the restaurant.

 

After Dang’s friend sees her arrive at the khao soy restaurant, she curiously inquires about the man who dropped her off. “Who’s that guy who brought you here?” she asks with a friendly, interested tone. Dang smiles, her eyes lighting up as she replies, “That’s Manow. He’s someone special in my life. He’s been really supportive and caring.” Her response conveys her appreciation for Manow and the growing importance he holds in her life.

 

At the khao soy restaurant, Dang and her kindergarten friends reunite to perform a charming Thai folk dance for their friend's opening celebration. Dressed in colorful, traditional costumes, the group dances in perfect harmony, their movements reflecting years of friendship and shared memories. The lively and graceful performance adds a festive touch to the event, celebrating both the restaurant's opening and their enduring bond. The dance is a heartfelt tribute to their friendship and a delightful surprise for their friend, who is moved by their support and the joyful atmosphere they create.

 

After parting ways with Dang, Manow focuses on his work for the day. He drives his tuk-tuk through the bustling streets, carefully delivering flower arrangements to various clients. His attention to detail and friendly demeanor make each delivery special, as he ensures that every bouquet arrives in pristine condition. Despite the busy schedule, Manow remains cheerful and efficient, appreciating the opportunity to contribute to the happiness of others through his floral deliveries. His commitment to his work reflects his dedication and reliability, balancing his professional responsibilities with his personal life.

 

At lunchtime, Manow takes a break from his busy delivery schedule and heads to a charming eatery near The Lanna Traditional House Museum. He enjoys a well-deserved meal, savoring local flavors and the serene atmosphere of the area. The restaurant, nestled close to the museum, offers a perfect spot for him to relax and recharge. As he eats, Manow takes in the picturesque surroundings, appreciating the blend of cultural heritage and modern comfort that the location provides. The peaceful interlude allows him to reflect on the morning’s work and prepare for the rest of the day.

 

After enjoying his lunch near The Lanna Traditional House Museum, Manow decides he wants to share the experience with Dang. He plans to take her to the museum for a visit, appreciating its cultural significance and hoping she’ll enjoy the outing. Manow decides to reveal this surprise to Dang during dinner, making it a special moment they can look forward to together. He imagines her excitement and is eager to share this cultural experience with her, planning to make their evening meal even more memorable with the thoughtful gesture.

 

While Dang is at her friend’s Khao Soy restaurant celebrating with her kindergarten friends, she unexpectedly runs into Itim, her ex. Itim approaches her with a curious expression and asks, “Are you single?” Dang, a bit surprised but composed, replies, “Yes, I’m single.” The brief encounter is charged with unspoken emotions, and Dang’s response marks a moment of personal reflection amidst the celebration.

 

During the celebration at the Khao Soy restaurant, Itim approaches Dang and asks if she would reconsider being his girlfriend. Before Dang can fully respond, Itim leans in and kisses her. Her friends, who are nearby, witness the unexpected and intimate moment with surprise and curiosity. The kiss adds a layer of tension to the gathering, highlighting the lingering emotions and complexities between Dang and Itim.

 

After Itim kisses her, Dang laughs, which leaves Itim confused and uncertain. Her laughter, rather than signaling any rekindled feelings, is more a reaction to the absurdity of the situation. She finds humor in the unexpected encounter, especially because she is now in a new relationship with Manow. Itim's confusion contrasts sharply with Dang's light-heartedness, highlighting the different paths they have taken since their breakup.

 

Seeing Dang's laughter and realizing that she is now with Manow, Itim feels a pang of sadness and regret. The realization that she has moved on with someone else hits him hard, as it underscores the finality of their past relationship and the missed opportunity to rekindle what they once had. Itim's sadness is evident as he processes the new reality that Dang is no longer part of his life and is now happily involved with someone else.

 

Dang, noticing Itim’s sadness, gives him a heartfelt hug and gently reassures him. “I know that you still care about me,” she says softly. “But I understand that your focus was always on growing your business. We had good times, but we’ve both moved on. I appreciate everything we had, and I’m glad to see you’re doing well. Let’s just be friends and support each other in our own paths.” Her words are sincere, offering comfort and closure while acknowledging their shared past and the new directions their lives have taken.
