We check in with Vallapa and her fiancé Martin in Thung Song, a small town in the middle of Southern Thailand. Vallapa is a restaurant owner Angela became friends with while teaching in Thung Song in 2011 and 2012. Martin is from Cameroon and met Vallapa while teaching in Songkhla, a beach town two hours from Thung Song near the Malaysian border.Yes, the name "Thung Song" is extremely evocative of that treasure of a late-nineties Sisqo club hit "Thong Song," but it's pronounced more like "Toong Song."Thong Song Music Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oai1V7kaFBkAngela's Thailand Blog: http://thaimeofmylife4.wordpress.com
