  • This is a day in my life in Koh Samui, Thailand
    Hi my name is Lilly and I am an American expat living on the island of Koh Samui in the gulf of Thailand for the last 8 years. My husband is Thai and his name is Wat. We have 2 half Thai, half American boys named Luke and Leon. Nam is our Nanny and she is like family to us. She is from Myanmar and has worked for us for over 5 years.
    Wat and I have owned several businesses together on Maenam walking street in Koh Samui. Right now our restaurant Lilikoi Bistro is closed but we will let you know when we reopen.

      But he makes up for that in spades by his devotion to fatherhood.
      Little son is never far from quite presence of father , Wat.

Your testimony is amazing and so is the work that you do to feed the hungry and pray for the sick and downtrodden. I just want to say keep it up. Your children are beautiful and you and Wat are a beautiful couple. God bless you and your family - praying for His continued guidance, favour and providence upon you all. When borders do reopen and we are able to visit Koh Samui again, I’ll definitely come look for you. Take care!

      Yes and no. The U.S. Department of State regulates the acceptable expressions for passport pictures, and big grins are destined for rejection. However, while the State prefers a neutral expression, its guidelines do allow for a natural smile.

BEAUTIFUL STORY EVER! and I am so happy for you that things turn out this way, and now you have two beautiful baby boys. I remember you said in another video you feel like the way you talk is not as natural, well I just wanna share that you look super natural here and I'm loving it! By the way, I'm Thai and everytime I don't know something I say it :D but I do know a few who don't, I guess it is a personality thing more than the nationality thing :D Will keep watching all your contents. Stay safe :)

    Hi Lilly, one thing that you learn in Thailand and in Asia is that sharing saliva is a common occurrence. Thai's eat family style which means that many individual spoons dig into shared dishes which causes mixing of everyone's saliva.

    • @Mamacat19
      @Mamacat19 3 года назад

      Not every household does that but some does. Usually there is a spoon that you put on the side dish and people use it too scoop food into their personal dish, then put back that spoon into the side dish, not into the mouth. Basically there are eating spoon and scooping spoon if that make sense.
