I have a close male Thai friend who has a young son, and that boy calls me "Pha Marie", meaning, "Aunt Marie from the father's side" ( and I am older than the father). I understand it will be another term if I am an aunt from the mother side, and it also matters if I am younger or older than the mother. ( I have forgotten the term, though. Can somebody please refresh my memory?)
