ขอส่งแรงใจให้กองทัพไทยครับ เราเชื่อว่าทหารไทยปกป้องประเทศได้อย่างยอดเยี่ยม
Many people will have read that the situation on the border is calming.
In this video, I walk through our village and speak with locals about what they’re hearing and how daily life looks right now.
As always, this is first-hand observation, not headlines.

We are loving family that live in Rural Thailand. Damo (me), Ryan (my husband), Otis & Hugo (Our Sons) spend our days taking care of the land and the animals and enjoying each others company. Its the simple life and we love to share it with you. Welcome to our YouTube channel!

FAQ

1. Why I use the word “expat”
In Thailand, foreigners are stamped “Non-Immigrant” in their passport. That means you must check in every 90 days, can’t work in jobs reserved for Thais, can’t own land, and can be deported (and banned for 5–10 years) if caught working without a permit. So while I’d love to call myself an immigrant, legally we’re not — hence the word expat.

2. What I do for a living
I run a health foods company here in Thailand and have a work permit that covers all YouTube activities. I’ve paid tax in Thailand for over 10 years — through my own companies (an English school and a jazz lounge), as well as during my career in the 5-star hotel industry (Anantara). And yes — I speak Thai.

3. Can foreigners own land in Thailand?
No. But a superficies agreement allows you to control the land for 30+ years, and houses here are relatively affordable (1–2 million THB). If you have children, owning a home is essential for their security. Still, it’s smart to keep around 80% of your net worth in high-performance assets (like BTC) outside Thailand.

4. About my wife
We’ve been together 12 years of my 15+ years in Thailand. She’s a finance graduate, hardworking, traditional, and loyal — she earned more and owned more property than me when we met, and she’s stood by me through both success and struggle.

5. Patreon & Memberships
All Patreon and channel membership income goes directly to supporting our Thai extended family — for food, school supplies, and household needs.
