Great Video i love the interaction between you and David...catching up on father/son time is important. I would never have guessed he was a previous smoker, GREAT JOB ON QUITTING DAVID!! I l love the way you joke with him an remind him about the hidden "Old Man Strength " that builds up over the years 555 . An older Ranger friend of mine says Old age, Experience and Treachery will always overcome youth and skill. Ha ha.
Love this. Breakfast always looks good. Beautiful views from the pier. Or boardwalk. Good on David giving up smoking. After I quit. I was amazed at how my senses came alive. Smells and tastes. Gift is a fantastic Lady after my own heart. Keeping everything clean. All the food you share looks tasty. Nice gifts. Happy Tuesday.
No worries! 😉 If you are ever in town again, please 🙏 send us a message in advance and we can meet up for a coffee or lunch. Wishing you and your wife continued safe travels.
glad to see your all doing good and David is enjoying thailand so much. I have had a good week,, just got cleared for pancreas cancer and got my condo rented for 3 years, which takes me up to retirement. suggestion for David as the pool is too short for him,, maybe wear a weight belt , to give him more resistance
Yep, David is still a growing boy who eats a lot very healthy-looking young man...I love how you really enjoy having your son with you and hopefully, he'll be with y'all for the wedding..Thai food always looks so beautiful. Loved the video...as always...Gift is so cute and she loved David too..
Greetings from New Zealand! David you are doing well there, good on you for giving up smoking! It's not easy. We are addicted to Thai food and just want to get back when we see those meals! Kilos come and kilos go.
Hey man, the kid can eat ! You guys are definitely living the life. Wedding plans are surely going to take up a lot of your time, so if you drop a video once in a while no problem cause I'm sure all of us can't wait to see the big day when it comes. I'll be joining Ta in Thailand in September for her birthday and probably stay the full 60 days . Hopefully we can finally meet up while I'm there 🙏
Congrats David ending the smoke habit...25 years for me. gained 10 pounds total. today's food blog looked super good. say hi to the "old folks" for me, lol xxx oo grammy
Hi Gift , Joe and David, thanks for sharing your life with us. Good to see preparations going well for your wedding. Love the way you and your son fool around together Joe with Gift enjoying the spectacle. 🙂 You always seem to know where to go to get the best food too. I have lived in Khon Kaen for 12 years but still don't know many of the restaurants. Looking forward to your forthcoming trip which should be interesting. Are you meeting up with George and his wife in Malaysia? Take good care on your travels. May God bless you and keep you safe always. 😀❤🙏
Great food as always, thanks. David is a young man how does he finance his travels I'm curious I would love the opportunity to do what he's doing, maybe I can but just looking at it all wrong. Love the videos keep them coming.
Quitting smoking is great. However you have to eat healthily during the quit time as nicotine can keep your calorie count low. Without nicotine you absorb all the calories. There are some great calorie counting apps out there for this. I quit smoking some years agao and gained 28 pounds in a few weeks. Its off now but the wieght gain can be stopped.
Your son David was ready for you on the pier, good luck Joe. Milano's always good, Gift and Joe, is Grandma's Place still open too. You all have a good day there in PKK.
RU guys gonna livestream the wedding so all your friends around the world can attend?You have so many expat friends who could do this for you and Gift: maybe Chuck, Mike, , Jonny, or James.
Yes, we plan on having someone livestream the wedding and reception on our Thai Girl Gift and Foreigner Joe RUclips Channel. youtube.com/@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774?si=DTNkh9hRX6LbBH2D
Great vid Joe ,it’s great to see David enjoying himself there ! Is the Jack Daniels bottle in the kitchen the one I gave you last year or have you got a new one?
When in maylasia apply got the DTV. ,AS HE IS NOW A DIGITAL NOMAD AND CONTENT CREATOR . PLEASE .PLEASE LOOK AT cris Parker’ ( retired working for you)interview of the number two immigration guy. 5 years , 10,000 baht have to leave every 180, no big. TOTAL GAME CHANGER
If David's put on that much weight in 3 weeks I'd rather feed him for a month not a year .. 555. Obviously he's happy and enjoying himself .. cool. Gift will make a great Minnie Mouse. Incredible bonding guys. Bushyboy Oz.
Wish we could physically invite everyone but unfortunately, it’s just not possible. We would love to have you and everyone join us via livestream on our wedding day.
Joe Ho and Joe I should say being a year from New Jersey just like I am I was born in Elizabeth New Jersey anyway question I ask you your son David have you ever taken him to New Jersey New York I know he’s from Germany. I was just wondering he probably loved to see where you were born and raised Joe Hoboken, congratulations your engagement
Sorry 😞 wish we could invite all 29K subscribers but unfortunately, that’s just not possible. We love you all and we will livestream the wedding for anyone that wishes to join us over the internet on this special day.
So what became of the trip to immigration? The video title could indicate he needs to do a border run because the extension wasn't granted at immigration office.
Everything was clarified in the first few minutes of this video. First, he gets a 30 day extension, then we visit Malaysia and Vietnam for his border run. When we return to Thailand we hope that he gets a 60 days visa exemption upon arrival and then we see if he can get another 30 day extension, before leaving Thailand to do another border run.
@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 yeah, i saw the expectation as to how it should work. Guess I expected confirmation of success later in the video. No worries.
Sorry, guess I should have followed up and said he received the extension. Normally everyone gets the extension as long as they didn’t overstay past their original required departure date. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to video in immigration, so I didn’t think twice about it.
We don't have pools here, what about a automated pool cleaning drone? Not as much fun as holding your heads son down with a broom. Are dodgy people with card scanners an issue there? I guess most of things is paid by Mr C Ash
We do have a pool robot that cleans the pool as well, however, the pool still requires other deep cleaning at times. Most people here pay with cash or with a scan to pay option linked to their bank.
Joe, I wanted to mention you can only enter Thailand on a visitor visa twice in a calandra year. You can extent 30 days each time . He can come back to Thailand in 2025 2 more times.
Great video and thanks for sharing your story with us 😊
Thank you 🙏
Hard to believe you’ve already been in your house for 3 years. I still smile when every time I hear Gift say “My Joe.”
3 years has gone by so fast. 8 August will be exactly 3 years.
Joe, so great to see David have such a transformational experience. Kudos to him to stop smoking. Safe travels to all of you.
Thank you 🙏

60 days via flight. 30 days land entry.
Happy to hear that. Thank you 🙏
Air Asia website is always like that using cards.... Gets frustrating!!!
It was frustrating to say the least, we spent 3 days trying to purchase our tickets.

Gif is a pretty Asian woman and is just super nice.
Thank you 🙏

18 days Joe
Awesome!
Eye ball soup 🍲
he really looks like you
Joe Ho and Joe I should say being a year from New Jersey just like I am I was born in Elizabeth New Jersey anyway question I ask you your son David have you ever taken him to New Jersey New York I know he’s from Germany. I was just wondering he probably loved to see where you were born and raised Joe Hoboken, congratulations your engagement
Yes all of my sons have been to where I was born.

Joe did you say you don't have time???
Didn't ya have a pool cleaner?
We do! Additional deep cleaning and maintenance is always good to do every couple yrs.
Extensions and all that ain't for me! Not being rude, just me ❤❤
Lol isn't son on look out for cute Thai girl 😅
Maybe 😊
We don't have pools here, what about a automated pool cleaning drone?
Not as much fun as holding your heads son down with a broom.
Are dodgy people with card scanners an issue there? I guess most of things is paid by Mr C Ash
We do have a pool robot that cleans the pool as well, however, the pool still requires other deep cleaning at times. Most people here pay with cash or with a scan to pay option linked to their bank.
Joe, I wanted to mention you can only enter Thailand on a visitor visa twice in a calandra year. You can extent 30 days each time . He can come back to Thailand in 2025 2 more times.
Thanks for the info.
