Look what the wind blew in.

On a warm windy day at the Women’s Hospital in Bangkok, a baby girl was born to Chaleon, a village girl from Chaiyaphum, Thailand. She was small like a melon. Her raven colored hair covered her round little head like the rough husk of a coconut.

Things to ask mom

Who is there the day I was born?

Was I a good baby?

It was 80.6°F (27°C), windy and cloudy in Bangkok on 12 May 1968 - the day I was born!
