I mentioned before regarding Pran's gift of liquor to Pat's dad (a possible deeper insight to the story)Pat smiled…
There were plenty of marriage allusions too throughout the last few episodes. From the engagement scene in EP 10, to the honeymoon feels in EP 11 (and the word itself was mentioned by Pat to Pran), and then finally this one in EP 12 (plus Wai and Korn's own respective weddings as comparison).
In the original novel, this was also mentioned towards the ending, as although same-sex marriage isn't yet allowed in Thailand, but Pat will want to marry Pran if this isn't the case. They made solemn vow to each other as lifelong partners. It was also Pran's dad who also agreed to Pat being his son-in-law.
Hence, I hope that if we have a special episode coming up, then it will centre on the full acceptance by Pat and Pran's respective families, and hopefully a wedding for both of them.
I mentioned before regarding Pran's gift of liquor to Pat's dad (a possible deeper insight to the story)
Pat smiled when Pran told him at the noodle shop about him buying his dad a gift. Pat, being born in a Chinese family should have known well the significance of that gift (plus Pran having known Pat for so long would have known it too).
Why so? It is essentially Pran subtly asking Pat's dad for Pat's hand in marriage (according to the Chinese tradition, groom has to give a suitable gift to the bride's family - though again in Pat and Pran dynamics, we know that neither is groom or bride there), and according to what I know (being a Chinese myself) and my sources, the gift for the father-in-law being the liquor.
It was implied in the later scene when Pat went back home, that his family already knew about the relationship between Pat and Pran (after 4 years, why not?), but his dad was still kind of in denial of that, but at the same time, he also in a way has somewhat begrudgingly accepted the fact.
When Pat brought the gifts from his friend returning from overseas, it was obvious whom he was referring to. When Pat's dad hesitated regarding the gift, Pat turned to his mom, which means that we can see how the mom likely have known about them and accepted them already. Pat's dad was too proud to admit this to Pat directly. Rejecting the gift would have meant that the family reject the groom-to-be. And obviously, this did not happen.
At the dining table, when Pat decided to ask Pa to bring the liquor, the dad was visibly hesitant, as if he and the other share the liquor, it was actually symbolic of him (Pat's dad) accepting Pran as his son-in-law. He already accepted that in his heart (I can feel it), although again, he couldn't openly admit it. That's why, only when he was alone (and witnessed only by Pat's mom), that he drank the liquor.
(And we know how later, he tacitly agreed to let his son be with Pran, when Pat jumped over to Pran's house and he and his mom heard it)
I will include this in my Revisited series in the discussion (and this is the expanded version of my earlier comment from last Friday)

Thanks for making us feel back to how it was just before Bad Buddy airs/just started airing!
(Those were the times when this comment section began to explode in numbers)
When I opened this page after work that time, I couldn't believe what I saw XD
#PatandPranForever
Seeing this will totally make your day better :)
I don't want to commit to buying yet unless I am sure they can ship to my address.
