How do you explain Thanksgiving to someone in SE Asia?

[pong]

Back to the subject, a bit serious. So I=myself thought it as like giving thanks for the harvest-and due to the northern climate in Canuckyland thats earlier as in the deep south of their borderr. Just like here in EUR its earlier in Sweden/Norway as it is in the middle: Germany etc where its still earlier as in the mediterranee south.
Giving praise/thanks for a plentiful harvest of whatever grows locally is deeply ingrained in about any agri-culture and sure the Thai know how to. Of course always with choosing a ḿiss (whatever grows there, watermelon or cucumber....) and parading her (or a she/he sometimes) through the baan=village.
Every now and then in these modern times someone steps up and proclaims it can be a him, beautiful of course, its Thai after all, but this did not really catch on. The tipical katoey then always run mad about these unique chance to win a contest yet again.

Hey, leave our poutine alone.

You're just jealous because we put salt in the water of our boiled potatoes.

Of course he's talking about Thanksgiving. It's perfectly obvious and coherent--after reading it slowly and carefully 3 or 4 times,translating each sentence individually in your mind into standard syntax.

I do enjoy poutine from my days in Montreal; yummy!
