Daughter: I don’t feel embarrased

Jao works as a physical education teacher at a school in Kanphangpetch province, where coincidentally, his adopted daughter, Nong, is in the third grade.

When Nong asked her father how they’d celebrate the day, Jao decided on his unique approach, stating, “I don’t feel embarrassed because I love my child. We participate in fun activities together.”

Nong expressed gratitude for her father’s efforts, finding the video both endearing and entertaining.

Far from feeling embarrassed by her dad’s attire, she told him she wouldn’t mind him doing this every year.

This Mother’s Day, I want to say I love my dad. Thank you for raising me and making me feel so blessed. I don’t feel like I’m missing anything in my life,” she reportedly said.
