His mother Passamon said she's teaching Dylan the Thai language to enable him to communicate with relatives back in Thailand.
His father Peter said: "We weren't expecting the videos of Dylan to become an internet sensation. I guess a little bit of linguistic pride, a bit of happiness and good timing conspired to make our story newsworthy."
