Hi Nann & Odin! It warms my heart to see you both so happy together. My girlfriend is also from Surin, while I’m from Europe, and we met in such a random way as well. Like you said, it’s hard to put into words, but from the very first moment we saw each other, I felt something different-unlike anything I had ever experienced in my previous relationships. After talking with her, I realized she felt the same way, and that gave me the courage to embrace Thai culture and accept all our differences without questioning everything. I’ve had many relationships in my life, but never before have I felt this strong desire to share absolutely everything with someone and build a fulfilling life together. All my insecurities seemed to fade, because sometimes you just know you’ve found the person you want to spend the rest of your days with. We’re so happy now; we’re actually in Surin at this very moment! I hope we can continue growing together, feeling as joyful as you two appear to be, for many years to come. Also, thank you for all the amazing content you share! I’d love to see more of Surin and all the hidden gems in this lesser-known part of Thailand. I never miss a video and truly enjoy watching them. Hopefully, once my girlfriend improves her English, she’ll be able to join me in enjoying your videos even more. Keep up the great work!
It’s so great to hear your story. It makes me happy to know that there are far more good stories than bad ones. I hope you are enjoying your time in Surin! It’s also a special place for us, because of the family and Nann's farm. Since we travel to Surin a few times each year, I sure we will make more Northeastern content. Thank you for watching all we publish. Let us know if there is anything you like us to talk about. Have a great holiday! 💗👍
Nok and i met in Bangkok November 2016. i had acutally come to thailand to see another girl but that girl had mood swings. Nok and i arranged to meet through the Tinder app. and when she stepped off the train i knew she was the one. She came to be with me in New York and lived with me for 5 years. we retired to Thailand - Prachuap in November 2024
Steve, the date does not add up, you probably made a typo. Anyway, it looks like you made the right decision! Also, Prachuap is a good choice. The dating apps help a lot. Thank you for sharing your story! Thank you for watching our video, your comment and your like! ❤️ 🙏

Thanks for uploading this human and loving video. I can still remember that early video on that farm of Nann's family. Really funny. I saw that before I went to Thailand for the first time. It did give me a good look on Thai Farming culture. Keep on the good work Nann &Odin!
Yes, they do biological farming for a long time already. smile. Thank you for walking this RUclips journey with us so long already. Have a great weekend!

We found each other on a dating site. I was working as a regional truck driver, over night shift, in the Northeast USA. My wife-to-be was in Wuhan China. 12 hour time zones away. We video chatted, my midnight was her noon. We did that almost every day for a year. Then, with visa in hand, I flew to China to meet this Chinese Retired English teacher in Wuhan. We traveled for 2 weeks and when it was coming up for my return, I asked if she wanted to come back to snowy New Hampshire with me. She had her visa so we flew back. Originally, she was going to visit, but things changed. Lived together another 1.5 years then married. She is 6 years younger than me. We have been married 7.5 wonderful years. ❤
Thank you for sharing your lovely story! It is great to hear that you found love across cultures and continents. I wish you many more beautiful years together! Thank you for watching our video, your comment and your like! ❤️ 🙏
This is a great story and I'm very happy for you both. Odin is a great name, by the way. Are you interested in Norse Mythology?
I never met another Odin in my life, so far. My grandfather was very much interested in northern mythology. He had 10 children and all of them have old names. Thank you for watching our video, your comment and your like! ❤️ 🙏

Cute video! Air quality is awful in Bangkok. Please stay safe!
Unfortunately, we have bad air quality every year for the first 3 months. It's the burning season, when farmers all around burn the sugar cane fields for harvest. Nann is back to wearing face masks, when she is leaving the house. Anton, we always get the question: How did you meet. Therefore, we made this video. Have a great weekend!
Hello how are you, very Nice vidéos, i meet thaï womans, but she lie me much, she's say me , she's alone, but i think she lie me. I m very sad
If you meet ladies working in the bars, it's their job to lie. They say anything that makes you happy and earns them money. To find a good one, you need to have time.
@ThailandLifestyle it's à woman Farmer
Well, her family are farmers. Nann works as a technician in the imaging department of a hospital.
How can you find a good Thai wife with so many prostitutes?
There are only many prostitutes in bars. All you need to do is to look outside these areas.
Thanks for sharing my dear friends ☺have a good weekend
Thank you for watching our video, your comment and your like! ❤️ 🙏
Beautiful story. Very inspiring. Gentle respectful loving communication. I’m looking for the same. Does she have a single sister or cousin?
Yes, we have a great relationship. Trust, respect and love are the pillars it is build on. There are some relatives, but I would not recommend them. Thank you for watching our video, your comment and your like! ❤️ 🙏
I met my lovely wife a sunny summer Sunday, in the city Square. By a coincidence, on my way back home, after having had salsa dancing lesson earlier that day. In Varberg, Sweden. While walking towards my car, crossing the square, I saw here there, to the right, sitting, and started to go towards her instead. And she started to go towards me. 20 years ago ❤❤
Thanks for sharing! Yes, it only takes a moment for the "spark" to fly. Thank you for watching our video, your comment and your like! ❤️ 🙏
Hi Guys.. Odin,you mentioned that had you known that Nann might have been a couple of years younger you would have rejected her. As it is your age gap is 40 years. Two generation gap. How did you arrive at what age gap was acceptable for you? Why not a closer age gap like, say ,20 years or less. And better English skills? I'm trying to understand about your mindset and criteria. My age gap is 32 years and I would have preferred 10 less. I had a previous age gap of 40 years and it went bad after 19 years together and a son as well. Partly because we repatriated to the West. Partly because I got old and she was still quite young and became Westernised. With big age gaps its better to live together in Thailand.
Tom, when I met Nann, I was not looking for anything. Intuitive, I had this number at last 30 years old in mind. But I have no problem to talk to someone younger. We started out as friends and grew closer over time. Our first encounter ended with me thinking: Oh, that is a nice and cute one. Would be nice to meet her again. My 30-year number comes from thinking that younger people are just not responsible enough. Looks I was wrong here. To stay in Thailand has its ups and downs. Here you have the family near. Overseas you have a tough competition. Thank you for watching our video, your comment and your like! ❤️ 🙏
@ThailandLifestyle the responsibility regarding young Thai people is a bit convoluted. Young Thai men are generally less responsible than young women. That's why so many single mums here. Usually they are responsible for the upkeep of abandoned babies. Daughters are also more responsible for their elderly parents. Somewhere below them in the pecking order is the elderly faring husband. You and me. I feel ok with this , like they say, blood is thicker than water. I have children from my previous marriage and they're placed the highest in the pecking order too. I love my wife and vica versa,but the concept of love is different here than in the West. In the West it's more romantic to start with. Here love can have different connotations. In its purest form, it's more like mutual taking care, with different duties attached. Loyalty, fidelity, respect, knowing your place in the set-up are parts of the whole. The word love is still used by both according to their own cultural traits. I have to add,perhaps reluctantly, because some people think being transactional, the money aspect.Good thai wife material women still consider money as an aspect of love. They're very pragmatic, rightly so. Who likes to be poor? I don't have any problems with this either. In fact I prefer to be the "bresdwinner". I'm no good domestically.
Very well summarized! You obviously have a long experience and an analytic mind! We not only learn words from our parents, we also learn the meaning. This is why the word love, said by different people, does not have the same detailed meaning. I am well aware of this, just like you. And the stability we bring into a family, as well as our age, brings respect. To live 600 km apart from this family, gives me liberties I appreciate. My children never visited Nann's family so far. There is not much interest from their side. They do know and appreciate Nann quite well. They know that Papa is looked after, which gives them peace of mind. One parent they do not have to worry about.😇😎
Yahoo, i am number Nueng today. Sabai Dee Mai? Khun Nann and Khun Odin.
Thank you, Steve, for opening the chat today! We are both fine, busy with our everyday life!
We answer the question: Where and how did you meet? And now we also want to know where and how you found your partner. 😇
My favorite band and bar. I'm there every Friday night.
Then I am sure we saw each other already.
If you 2 love each other that's great but definitely there's a huge age gap and activities for each of you will differ greatly as he gets older, his ability to do things will diminish while her abilities become stronger and desires become different. My wife is only 7 years older than me and her energy levels are dropping so fast. Shes able retire, me not so much. Ill be able to in 7 yrs but I won't want to because of my job that I love and the income I make. But the age difference is much closer and your age difference is going to become an issue. For many reasons. I wish you well..
David, we are well aware of the problems we face in the future. This motivates me to try to stay fit. If your wife's energy levels drop so fast, look closely why. Illness? Motivation? Do you still love each other? Do you still want to do things together? Do you still care to be close? As I told a few times in our videos already, Nann also reminds me to watch that I walk straight, for example. Relationships like ours are more challenging. Fact is, that Nann will most likely life 50 years without me.
I’m curious, what it was like for Nann to learn English. For Odin to learn some Thai. Odin, can you read Thai? I think you said, in a video, Nann didn’t know English when you met. Can you talk about building a relationship with a language barrier and how you overcame? I had an amazing date with a Thai nurse, my first trip to Bangkok. We laughed all through dinner! We used hand signals, facial expressions and Google Translate when necessary. Can you share the difficulties and fun you two shared, while learning to communicate? ‘Looking forward to a video where you share your wisdom and experiences. 😊
Anton, it's difficult to remember all the funny situations. Usually misunderstandings are not bad but funny. I did start to learn to read Thai, but I didn't get too far. You can only read a Thai word if you know it. As you might know, in Thai language they write the words without spaces. Therefore, you only know where the word ends, because there is no word with the next consonant added. When I came to Thailand, I even needed a Thai when I wanted to eat Tom Yam Gung soup, to tell me what you can eat and what not. In this soup they put lots of things just for the taste, but you cannot eat them. Anyway, I will keep your suggestion in mind. We will travel to ChaAm today, for a few days.
What an amazing shot at 31:49, where the birds flew around the drone! You had to feel blessed!
Hello Anton, If you like those pictures, I think you will also like these: ruclips.net/video/-TKovBFM0NI/видео.html ruclips.net/video/D0XvOQv8hz8/видео.html ruclips.net/video/0MMvxwGSCZA/видео.html I started to publish my drone flights (full videos) on this new channel. Let me know what you think of this.
Please people! Having someone who can be your child as a partner is not wise. How can she be happy? Your not handsome, not young, etc. She's better off than before but happy? Its an arrangement. Real love is better.
Do you have a wife? If yes, then I wish you that your love is better than ours. You will be a happy couple! If you don't talk to each other anymore, and if there is no love anymore, then your marriage is an arrangement. Nann and I are very happy together. Thank you for your comment.
Climate change is like astrology plus math. One cannot live through the covid years without being very skeptical of "experts agree." When I was young (in the 70's) the experts told us the world would freeze over, no oil in 30-40 years, we would run out of water, ozone disappearing, population exploding and no food, nuclear annihilation, and on and on. So having children, for me, would be free of concerns for whatever the current news warns about. What is happening today and in the next decade or so? Well, if I was with a very young lady and she wanted a child, and I could give that child 15-20 years (plus a lot of money when I pass) then I would consider her feelings. Although Thailand is a interdependent/family culture, there is still the importance that it takes a mom and dad to raise properly. And she makes a really good point about the retired man not wanting to spend those years parenting. It's a lot of work when you should be enjoying this final phase of life. Although I am attracted to 20-30 somethings, I do hope I meet a gal that is 40 something because it is pretty much over for her at that age as well.
I see your point. If you have watched our "Marry or not" video, you heard Nann also say: We decided not to have another child. I know that science is developing. I studied physics, and a lot of what I learned is outdated. Still, I believe that the climate change is real. And about covid. When I am sick, I will go see and trust a doctor, especially in an emergency. Further, you would have no GPS or smartphone without science. While they are sometimes wrong, most time they are correct. Last not least: Thank you very much for watching our video, your thoughtful comment, and your like! ❤️ 🙏
Timely subject for me. I'm 61yo and one of those grey divorce dudes. So what do I do now? I mostly just exercise (rather serious program), meditate, eat and sleep, while watching videos about expat life. Why go on like this just working and being an introvert? So I took a 3 week trip to Thailand and BKK exceeded my expectations. Lovely place and lovely culture of mai pen rai. English was easy to get away with, great transportation with BOLT and BTS, and wow, the food. I ate it all! Of course, holiday time can't compare to a long time; for example, I didn't join a gym etc, but I will tell you that I felt that possible void, or measure of invisibility as I contemplated living there. Went out of the Sukhumvit area many times. During my last week I was out doing my photography hobby over by SIAM. Grabbed some % Arabica (as I was told it's maybe the best coffee in Bangkok) and then later went to a mall and just got a fruit juice to sit and review my photos. I looked around in this area and it was almost 100% Thai. I was thinking I am the only blond in the whole mall but I might as well be a ghost because nobody sees me. How am I going to meet a nice gal if I am invisible? Your idea of meeting at regular places is a good idea. Reminds me of one gal who I really enjoyed at Breakfast Story. Everybody is so friendly you can't tell, but she did flirt a bit (maybe?) and in any case, wouldn't be too bad to flirt back a little 😅 You two are such a lovely couple and I appreciate the calm pacing here as the whole thing makes me nervous. Such a big change!
I can understand you totally, as I am also on the quiet and introverted side. I was trying to find a partner with online dating for 4 years. I had wild nights and a lot of very interesting encounters. But I was always happy when my date closed the door behind her on the way out. And then, when I went out with my friend to a restaurant, I ended up sitting next to Nann. We just talked, talked more, changed the venue and talked again. We exchanged contact data and that day our relationship started, like a little plant growing, while we dated of the next year. And one day we discussed, if we should move together. Nann agreed to try for 3 months, and now after 5 years we work to get our marriage papers. We both feel blessed that we found each other. We made it, you have a good chance to succeed as well. Just take it easy. Don't stress yourself. Enjoy life, continue with your hobbies, keep your heart and eyes open. One day, she will sit next to you! Thank you for watching our video, your comment, and your like ❤️ 🙏
Honest question...what does a young woman like Nan see in an older man like Odin? Different stages in life, interests and generation. Is this really a relationship of financial support?
We are quite happy with each other. And we share a few interests, like making RUclips together. Nann answered your question in a few videos already. ruclips.net/video/j9stlq2zZBk/видео.html ruclips.net/video/dvtv6unLM3o/видео.html
Good video You did the right thing odin Thailand is a great country, the people, the weather, the food ,and a lot less stress than the uk Thanks

Excellent topic. I’m a SE Asian Slow traveler. My effective way to make friends is to volunteer. I have been volunteering for decades as a mentor. I also had many professional careers. Every city I go to I just introduce myself and say I would like to volunteer. I have never been turned down. I have many very good local friends in all of SE Asia now. I don’t drink and never go to bars. Alcoholism is rampant all over Asia with foreigners. One is the most popular RUclipsrs is alcoholic and the channel has spiraled. I also exercise every day, I eat very healthy, I love people and introduce myself to people. I’m an optimist. I am not needy and very emotionally healthy. Locals have told me they have observed me for a week or more and see my lifestyle is very stable and clean. Then they introduce me to friends and family. I feel very secure traveling solo because of who I am. I stay away from alcoholics and complainers.
Thank you for sharing your personal experiences and how you made so many great friends in South East Asia! I am impressed. Thank you for watching our video, your thoughtful comment, and your like ❤️ 🙏
It’s up to two people to decide what they want. No one has the right to tell you what to do. For me I never had children and never will. I see the true responsibility and I can’t subject a child of mine to the terrible future. Of course everyone has a responsibility about climate changes.
Well, the government (depending on your country) makes it very hard to marry. You will see this in a future video. About children, I understand your point of view. I also think the same as you about the personal responsibility towards climate change. Unfortunately, most people are very ignorant about this.

I can’t find the video how you met. 🙏🏼
I have to apologize, I really thought it was in a video, but I just told the story many times in the comments. I did go out with friends, and Nann did go out with friends, and we happened to end up sitting next to each other in a restaurant. Pure coincident! I gave her my phone number and WhatsApp, but thought I would never hear from her again. And at this point I start to tell our story in this video: Nann's Story - ruclips.net/video/466wXSWxa1Q/видео.html Sorry for making you search. I just found out how much time I needed to find this sequence again.
Thank you. I just found your channel and love it. Both of you are very inspiring. I’d like to follow your life. We share a very similar personality 🙏🏼
Marry your partner. You both have an obvious connection to each other. ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Mutual respect 🙏 and love. Congratulations!
As we said in our last video - ruclips.net/video/JjJlRlfFIUE/видео.html - we are near to getting married. You won't believe the bureaucracy we have to master to marry. I think we will make a video about this once we are married.
@@ThailandLifestyle I'm interested, as I am sure others are.
Just wait for it, until we are through the process.
I always love listening to your videos as they make much sense and I relate to them so much. May I please ask how Nan get on with your other grown-up children, or have they not met her, i.e. in Germany, as you mentioned before
My children come to Thailand almost every year. They are friends with Nann. There are some videos of my 70th birthday on Koh Chang, if you want to get to know them. ruclips.net/video/B5gfdrrrxus/видео.html
Very enjoyable video. 57 American. I think handles instead of doorknobs would be awesome! Maybe I can retire in Thailand in 4 or 5 years. Good luck next month!!!
Anton, you are special, and you make us speechless. You send the first Super thanks we ever received. A very heart felt thank you to you. Thailand also uses Doorknobs. 😃 This will make you feel at home, right from the start. We look forward to seeing you one day! Thanks again for your support, comment, and your like ❤️ 🙏
Odin, I gladly eat plenty eggs a day. And please, know, that high cholesterol is good for you if you are 60+. Cholesterol is anti inflammatory. And if you would jnow how much cholesterol a new born recevies, you would start to understand that it is not an enemy of nature. There us so much to learn. But first one have to unlearn. And most people can not adopt, understanding the agenda. Have you heard about the 3d tower 9/11...?
I am well aware of the high cholesterol debate. There is a range you should neither exceed nor have less. I trust my doctor. I would recommend that you also find a doctor you trust, one day you will need them. And no - I did not hear of a 3rd tower. Be careful, there are many conspiracy theories and right out lies in social media.
Good video about nans past It is hard to date a thai lady ,because a lot of them work 6 days a week and long hours ,better to live in Thailand first ,then date I think Thanks
@ianphillips6871 Ian, I fully agree that you need a lot of time to find the love of your life. I did a lot of online dating the years before I met Nann. I had a lot of fun doing it, but I didn't find love. And then, just by chance, i found myself sitting next to her in a restaurant. We talked and decided to talk more... before we said good by that day, I gave her my phone number and WhatsApp. I didn't think she would message me, though. But she did. We dated for a year .. and that's how our story began.
♥♥
I answer here, because on the drone channel I cannot send a link. Hello Hans, as I understand Thai law, flying a drone in Bangkok city is prohibited. When you follow our main channel, I sometimes fly a drone when I consider it as possible. Here, for example: ruclips.net/video/gARIBXqZWAM/видео.html
lovely people, lovely relationship thank you for sharing your stories
Our pleasure, Adrian! Thank you for watching our video, your comment, and your like ❤️ 🙏
Nice 🙏 🖐 🇨🇵
As always: Thank you for watching our video, your comment, and your like ❤️ 🙏
Some people only see what they want to see not the truth...
Bob, we all do this. WE use what we learn and who we are to understand the world. If you only use your eyes to see, then you are blind. You also need to see with your heart. Last not least, we change every day. If your partner goes another direction, you can lose what you have. Love is not money in the bank. You have to earn it new every day! Thank you from my heart for watching our video, your kind words and your like! ❤️ 🙏
I had my first child at 31 and my second child at 47. Its hard work and IMO not for people in their 60s. You need to at least have a chance of providing circa 20 years of support. I still call my Mother now for advice on some matters and I'm 50 years old lol.
Thank you for sharing your personal experiences! I understand what you are trying to tell. WE decided in the video "Marry or not" already not to have more children, although I try to secure Nann's life as good as possible. Thank you for watching our video, your comment, and your like ❤️ 🙏
Very inspiring. I can see both of you are very good people. How did you meet? Any suggestions how to meet a wonderful Thai young woman like your wife?
Thank you! 😃 - If you want to know how we met, you have to go back only a few videos! Thank you for watching our video, your comment, and your like ❤️ 🙏

Congrats on the marriage to come. Thanks for sharing these experiences and decisions. I hope life will be mild and gentle to you both and your loved ones. I am planning to move to Thailand and live with my girlfriend (wife to be).
Rudi we are not there yet. We will make a video once we made it over the finish line! Thank you for watching our video, your comment, and your like ❤️ 🙏

Enjoyed the chat, the points that seems to shine out are boundaries, respect and the ability to care more about the person than things (once you have the financial aspects sorted).
Well said! Love is based on trust and respect. We did settle our finances. Thank you for watching our video, your comment, and your like ❤️ 🙏
Nan worked long hours and days (very taxing/tiring), i retired at 55 but worked 12hour shifts for 30yrs, that gave me the chance to retire. Everyone needs a 5 year plan which is broken down into sections to work towards smaller Goals. With Nan working it helps if something goes wrong Odin, as she doesn't have to look for a new job. There will be a stage where Nan will have to help/care for you (in many years time we hope)😇
Steve, I agree with you! I do care for Nann, and she will not end up poor. The problem is that with all the problems our world is facing and so many stupid and selfish politicians, to plan long term seems to be impossible. Thank you for watching our video, your comment, and your like ❤️ 🙏
I think , having had similar relationships, it's important to live the way you want ,not the way other people expect you to live . You got to cut out outside toxicities. There is a word you'd understand, Schadenfreud. Ignore it, repell it and those who wish you bad. I understand you're wanting Nan to continue working which on the other hand limits the time you have together . It's a shame you're not a multimillionaire so you could have her totally at your disposal. I don't mean 24/7 but more than presently. Thai working times are much more hours than back in the West. It is what it is, probably you're quite happy doing your own thing while she is at work. I think you were a bit more frugal with your personal life-changing moments than Nan. But hey, some of that is private and not for public consumption. Already you're opening up with this channel which I wouldn't think of doing myself . I can be an open book one on one in real life. Not on a public forum. If you lived in Thailand 25 years already you would have come here in your late 40s. That's quite early to stop whatever you did productively in Germany. Would you have died by now as your father? We don't know, I think German medical science is very advanced and had you managed to reduce stress you might still be alive in Germany.. but without delightful Nan. Her English is quite basic ,not that I couldn't still get the gist of what she was trying to say. In any case, having you as her future husband gives her security which she wouldn't have even being gainfully employed. That's what we bring to the table for these young ladies . Hopefully we get what we want too . Take care..😉👍
Tom, I very much appreciate you sharing your thoughts! It's great to hear different perspectives on how people view life in Thailand. We do have good healthcare in Germany, but when working self-employed, there is always something more important to do until it isn't, and that was too late for my father. I don't know how my life would have played out in Germany. I just know that I am very happy here. Thank you for watching our video, your knowledgeable comment, and your like ❤️ 🙏
Thank you for both your efforts.. and thank you for sharing your life story 🙏🏻😊 Love them 🥰 The people who criticise your relationship are not worth your stress..these are people who will not think of walking a mile in yours and Nan’s shoes 🙏🏻
Thank you, Eddie! It is always good to see a kind comment. Everybody need to make his own choices. We don't care too much what others think. It's our life, after all. Thank you for watching our video, your comment, and your like ❤️ 🙏
Every relationship is give and take. You two are adorable. Nann you are beautiful inside and out. You guys give me hope in finding a girl like Nann when I retire in Thailand in 6 years.
I am sure you will find the love of your life too. If you have an open heart and look in the appropriated places. Thank you for watching our video, your comment, and your like ❤️ 🙏 Reply updated
