A Song for Dad on Thai Father's Day

Why a song is a Father's Day gift he will keep

A canna flower fades in a few days. A song that calls him Pho or Pa the way you do, and tells the story of the drives to school, the motorbike rides and the advice he gave in a few short words, is one he will play again and again and share in the family LINE group. It says what many children find hard to say to their father face to face: thank you for everything.

What to tell us about him

Start with what you call him: Pho, Pa, Papa, Daddy, or a name only your family uses. The song will call him that. Then add the small things: the dish he always cooks on his day off, what he tells you every time you leave home, the long hours he worked so you could study, the way he still asks, "Have you eaten yet?" The more specific the memories, the more the song sounds like him and no one else.

Who a Father's Day song is for

• Your own father: a thank-you for all the years, in the words you rarely say to his face.

• Your father-in-law: a warm way to tell him he is family too.

• Grandpa: for the grandfather who helped raise the whole family, with his grandchildren's names in the song.

• Your husband, a new dad: his first Father's Day as a father, from you and the little one.

• Dad back home: for when you work far from home and can't go back this year. Send him the link, and he hears it on the day.

• A father who has passed away: a gentle song in his memory, for the family to listen to together when you make merit for him.
