Dum Kham: Ep 2 Toad soup scene

This series is absolutely hilarious, my favorite part for today’s episode would have to be the Toad eating scene. Thuy aka Tuthiya unknowingly eats toad soup while on lunch break at the plantation.

As Bua Dong, the girl who cooked his lunch, is praising herself, Tuthiya nods in agreenace.

Tuthiya mumbling to her:”Ha huh! It’s very good, you’re a very good cook.” He doesn’t’ really care about her, he is just hungry.

Then she starts describing the ingredients, how the skin of the toad is tough to chew when you catch it when it is raining. Tuthiya nearly flipped when he heard “Tough skin” and “toad”.

“Toad Meat!” He exclaimed and she scoop one up from her bowl and showed him.

At this point, Tuthiya jumps up and vomits everything he just ate. He is totally disgusted, he tries to brush every last Toad meat residue from his mouth using his finger.

It’s just too funny!

This is another funny part, after chatting with Dao (Pang) on the phone, amnesia victim Thuy thinks his real name is Tuthiya.

Dum lies to him and laughs in his face:

“Hey Thuy, aren’t you thinking too highly of yourself, how can a guy like you be named Tuthiya? Remember this, your name is Thuy and your real name is SomThuy.”

In Thai, Thuy is a buffalo and Som means ” [is] becoming; suitable for; appropriate; conforming; worthy of”. So basically Somthuy means “is like a buffalo or becoming of a buffalo”. In Thai, being called a buffalo is a major insult. It means feeble, like you’re stupid. Get it?

Tuthiya’s reaction:“Are you crazy? No one is ever named Thuy with a real name of Somthuy.”

Full summary coming later.
