The Story of Lamai Jumpaburi Coyle's Big Brown Feet. How a Thai Village girl succeeds by staying true to who she is.
I was born in a small dusty agricultural village in Prachinburi, Thailand. The land is very fertile and produces a wide variety of crops. My family are hard working farmers, where at a young age, I learned how to put in a honest hard day's work.
Growing up, I had no shoes and went around in barefoot and flip flops. The mud from my village made it impractical to wear shoes, as they would be covered with dirt within minutes. As a young girl I dreamed of wearing pretty dresses and shoes like beautiful high society ladies in Bangkok.
Years of working barefoot on the farm, my toes spread out and fattened like my mother & fathers. The sun scorched my skin to a dark brown color. In Asian culture, light skin and small feet are seen as objects of beauty. The women of the village would gossip about me, “Look at Lamai, she is pretty, …but look at those feet. What kind of a man would want to marry her with those big brown feet?'‘ For years, I was ashamed of my ugly big fat brown farmer’s feet, as they were instant giveaway to my peasant past.
