Quick Life Update! ❤️
Sorry it’s been a month since the last upload. Things have been pretty busy behind the scenes, but I’m finally getting back to making videos!
We’ve had a new addition to the family—Naman! 🐶 He’s 50% German Shepherd and 50% Siberian Husky, and he’s already keeping us on our toes.
We’ve also started building an extension onto the house, which is going to become our own space to unwind, relax, watch movies and sports on a projector, play pool, and spend quality time with friends and family. I’ll be taking you through the entire build, sharing the costs, progress, and everything we learn along the way.
Thank you all for sticking around and supporting the channel. There’s plenty of exciting content coming soon, and I can’t wait to share it with you all! 🇹🇭❤️
Stay tuned! 🎥🏡🐶

What’s up guys,
First of all, we just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us over the past few weeks. As many of you know, Fai recently lost her mum, and it’s been an incredibly difficult time for her and the whole family. The kindness, messages, comments, and support from all of you have meant more than we can put into words.
We are also extremely grateful to everyone who contributed to the GoFundMe. Your generosity has helped ease some of the financial burden during a very challenging period, and we’ll never forget the support you’ve shown us. ❤️
Making these videos genuinely helps us keep moving forward, and reading your kind comments gives us a lot of encouragement. If you’ve been enjoying this series, please leave a comment below. We read far more of them than you probably realise, and your support really does make a difference.
In today’s video, I sit down with my friend John for an honest Q&A about life in Thailand as a foreigner. We discuss the realities of living here, the things that surprised him the most, the biggest challenges foreigners face, the cost of living, Thai culture, and whether Thailand lives up to the dream that many people have before moving here.
Whether you’re already living in Thailand, planning a move, or just curious about what life is really like here, hopefully you’ll find some useful insights and a few interesting stories along the way.
Thanks again for all the support, and we hope you enjoy the video.
Tom & Fai 🇹🇭❤️

Today we lost someone truly special. My girlfriend Fai’s mum passed away in a tragic road accident while on her way to work. She was a kind, honest, hardworking woman who spent her days selling vegetables at the local market, driving her little tuk tuk around town and helping support everyone around her. She was well known in the community for her warmth, generosity, and selfless nature.
As many of you are probably aware, I’ve started a family here in Thailand, and from the moment I arrived, Fai’s mum welcomed me into her home and treated me like one of her own. To me, she became far more than just my girlfriend’s mum — she was like a mother to me too. After losing both of my parents at a young age, having someone show that level of love and care again meant more than words can explain.
Even though we spoke different languages, we always understood each other through kindness, care, and actions. She was a constant rock in my life and someone I will never forget.
One thing I will always be grateful for is that she got to meet her baby grandson, Spencer. She loved him with all her heart and soul, and seeing them together brought her so much happiness.
Right now, our family is devastated and struggling to come to terms with this sudden loss. We are raising money to help cover funeral costs and support the family during this incredibly difficult time. Any donation, no matter how small, would mean the world to us. If you cannot donate, sharing this page would also help more than you know.
Thank you for your kindness, support, and prayers during this heartbreaking time.
