    Thank you for showing so much of Lyla smiling. Her little personality is starting to show.
    Leon is a doll with the most beautiful hair and big eyes. Luke is a true movie star! His outgoing personality is just adorable. They all have your big, beautiful, round eyes and
    Wat's eye color. Y'all are fantastic parents and Nam is a jewel. I look forward to your next adventure. Peace and joy be with you all. 🙏

    No, it’s not bad that you want to be in the area where people of your background where you could speak and relate with. I am an Asian American living in USA for the last 50 years and it’s so good to have people from your background to talk to relate to I just love cosmopolitan areas it’s an indication place is prosperous and enriched with culture.

    Great video! Lily can you do a video about Nam? Her story? How it works being a nanny in Thailand, does she get a regular day off and time off during the day? Vacation to go visit her family? know in Canada there are rules to insure these things for Nannie’s.

      Being nanny/maid in thailand is 24/7 job.It's just like family member.vacation or day off are personal agreement between employer so that can be compromise.if not happy employee could quit anytime.So employer should make sure nanny/maid alway happy with family.

    • @nalinaperu7652
      @nalinaperu7652 Год назад +1

      Not so true on the 24/7 rule. Most nanny/cook employees of a family, are usually entitled to get minimum one day off a week. Simple fair work human rights in Thailand and in the West.

    I love Chiang Mai because of it's simplicity and reasonable prices. You still can get food that is high quality. I also think that your hotel was just fine. For someone who is always on a budget, like myself, Chiang Mai would definitely by a place to go to. Love your children Lilly and Watt. When Lyla smiles my heart absolutely melts. I hope you're getting some great ideas for your restaurant. I'm sure it will be amazing when it opens. ❤❤❤❤

    My best friend moved from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and opened a restaurant in her house. Her concept is one table per day. She wants to cook for friends and families. Doesn’t want to be tired that much. She is happy. Her place is called “Anjakin Villa” (อันจะกิน) which means wealthy.

      @@nikkimclay5474 We never got to know her Thai husband. I've greeted him and shook his hand a total of 2 times in 50 yrs.
      He seldom accompanied her when she passed through Texas. She always had her twin girls with her. We know them quite well. They're well Americanized.
      When she stopped by a few times during summer all of us cousins still in the family home area were too busy farming to spend much time entertaining.
      We were all invited to visit Thailand, but family obligations didn't allow time. I might have gone, but every few yrs there would be coup and their King would be thrown out. Though she poo-poo-ed it as nothing, I wasn't interested in dodging an insurrection.

    It's very normal to feel more comfortable or at ease with what you are most familiar with, your own culture.
    It doesn't mean you don't like or appreciate different cultures.
    You have embraced and always shown respect and appreciation for the Thai culture...but it is understandable that your culture remains very close to your heart.

    As always a buoyant video about your family life. Love the smile of Laila, Wat and your happy children. I cross my fingers that you find the right place for your restaurant idea. I am living as an expat in Bali and I am also happy to be in contact with other expats. We all need inbetween like-minded people around us. Sending you love and appreciation from Bali.
