hey folks pete here from Thairish Times we're still on koh samui we're here for
another couple of days then we're back to bangkok so in this video right we're gonna tell you about
well let me just explain first recently a couple of people contacting me they said peace
can you make a video about what it's like to be married to
a thai woman i gotta be honest it didn't appeal to me didn't peak my interest but then i said it
to noon and she said well how about we flip it around and she tells her story about what it's
like to be married to a farang man and how her life has changed we've been married since december
of last year so what's that four months so yeah that's what we're going to do today and i don't
really know what noone's going to say so i hope it's going to be good i have a couple ideas what
she might say but she you know she could say anything really and i'll have to put it in
anyway before we do that i'm gonna have to show you where we're staying here we're at a resort on
in the la my area called the hive and it's right on the beach down here it's really really nice
place and i'm gonna show you the room now so if you're ever in samuel you can check this place out
so here's the realm it's a it's a bungalow right we're staying in a bungalow decent sized bed
nice and simple but really nice i like it i like the thai style like the decor
you've got a tv fridge a table over there kind of standard you know it's a decent
sized room high ceilings as well which is pretty good and it's a bungalow and that's
what i like when you come to places like this and it's in a nice little garden area as well
we're only like i can see the beach from the window here 20 meters from the beach anyway
i know when you come on holidays the last thing you you're going to be doing is watching tv but
i had a flick through the channels there last night and for the first time and all
the time i've been in thailand i found irish tv they've got satellite tv here and they have
irish television channels and i was watching you know reminiscing and watching stuff from ireland
you know like programs that you'd never see normally you know you know it was it
was cool it was a nice experience to see made me quite homesick actually watching it anyway
there's where as we're doing editing and um in here you've got your
your standard hotel beers that cost twice as much as the 7-eleven coming in 100 bass for a beer
at 7 11 you're paying 45 baths so maybe i'll have a beer and i'll run to 7-eleven and put it in
maybe we'll see anyway here's the toilet right now look at this look little cowboy cowboy on western
doors look it's like a it's like a clint eastwood movie hey pilgrim
and then look it's a standard kind of toilet you know it's a big shower
there big shower area and then you've got your clint eastwood doors as well look there you go
imagine kicking the door in and someone's sitting there
anyway in today's video we're going to have a chat with noon but before we do that
i'm going to take you around and show you a couple of places in khalsa mui because i like
how samuel it's the first time i've ever been here in 11 years usually i go to phuket or koh
chang i don't know why i've never come here well i'm here now and i i do like it alright let's go
right folks where are we known oh well up stone uh what is overlap stone viewpoint of summary one of
them so we're at the one of the best viewpoints on samui yeah i think so i'm not sure i have to check
right well you walk out there now to the overlaps down and you give us your verdict if it's a good
viewpoint or not yeah all right off you go she's gonna be scared oh she's not scared she's running
like in the photo it used to be like wooden bridge or something i'm not
sure yeah they change the bridge anyway let's let's talk about the stone no um
it's overlaps like obviously uh two overlaps on one okay you walk out onto the stone there
keep going actually actually hold on
just be careful that is actually a bit dodge oh i go first no i go first
your death
what a beautiful view look at that you don't want to go down there
we came from up there that's where the other half live
with their swimming pools and their big fancy villas pretty nice i mean it is it is just a stone
very stoney coarse nice coarse stone what you think no nice viewpoints yeah it's good
view yeah yeah you happy you came here yeah i can't wait for photos
and videos so now it's my turn to take lots of instagram photos yeah and videos all
right i'll stop the camera now and i'll start taking some photos yeah i hate taking photos
so one thing i've noticed in simula is a lot of the fancy houses are built
up on top of the hills the mountains and look at that incline
i really don't know how cars are able to drive up and down these roads in rainy season i mean
we're on the side of a mountain here if the rain comes down it's coming right down on these roads
certainly a motorbike is not going to get up here i imagine you have to have a pickup to
get up these roads and really imagine coming up here late at night as well
you're taking blind corners all the time and rainy season i'm not sure i'd be a fan of that
so i want to show you this place behind me folks some of you will have heard of it some of you will
have never heard of it before it's just from the outside it's just another massage shop right but
this place here right here was where the good farang used to do all his vlogging all right
folks yeah that's right you know who it is paul and jenny this is where it all happened in here
and i found it the other day i rolled past it looked familiar there you go if you don't know
who he is he's a vlogger from dublin ireland and he hasn't made a video in a while now but
his channel has just been made public again so fair play to you paul i hope you can do more
stuff looking forward to whatever comes next for you you and jenny i wish you all the best
right we're down at the beach now let me just explain what is lamai well it's a beachside town
in the southeast of samui okay it's pretty popular place it's quiet at the moment but there are
tourists coming back we spent four nights here we spent another two nights at a place called
show wang which is uh kind of i suppose what would you say the party spot of the island and
that was a lot busier down here but um i really like the vibe here in lemai it's a lot more
chilled out you've got nice restaurants nice bars you've got interesting people lots and it seems
to me that lemai is where the long-term expats are are staying and chuang is for
if you want to come a party in thailand you go to chawang that's just kind of how i feel about
it at the moment if i'm wrong let me know in the comment section anyway now it's time to go
and talk to noon and find out what she thinks about being married to a farang and i must say
i'm a little bit nervous about what she's going to say on camera i hope it all works out well for me
right here we are all right now tell us now go on don't be shy good question so
neil what do you think about marina farang
well um what i'm gonna say might not be the same as the other couples because like
relationships are very unique for each couple but for my like for myself in my opinion i think
the like there are four points that i can think about and first of them is that
it's good to live in a moment it's good to be in the moment it's good to think in like after
the moment and enjoy the moment but like too much of it might not be good i think non thais
like you like europeans or like any other non-ties would think about the future and everything
everything they do everything you do like would would would have consequence for the future like
um your mindset things for the future for angst think of the future more than say thai people do
yeah tends to because yeah we can't generalize of course thai people think of the future yeah
like worry about the future and think about if plans plan ahead yeah plans ahead better
and the second point is that well of course like any couple have fights we have bad times
but yeah like everyone has their flaws so i would say that the cool thing about not only marrying
off around and on thai i think like being in a relationship with montaigh
one of the good points that i always share with my friends that
they always compromise like make compromises like sit down and talk about it if you're wrong you
say sorry if you write you say your words and it's anything to fix like let's fix not break
many thai men are i would say that like it's easy to break than to fix what do you mean by that
like any problem like which is like okay that's it finished on cannot compromise cannot fix like
think about breaking it then fixing it because it's really hard to fix because fixing doesn't
only take one part fixing take two parts and what i can see from non-toys like a friend
they really really willing to fix together they're going to work on it together they don't give up
easily that's the benefit of like having a relationship with fran that's that's that's
my point i always said share this to my friends or anyone that like asked me it's not about marriage
about a relationship as well but like the good thing is that like when they wrongly say sorry
because it's not easy to find people especially these generations to say sorry to you
and the third point is that you give my my own space i can have like my own space i can have
my own time with my friends and i can go out and hang out with my friends at nighttime or daytime
freely and do thai men not allow people to have their own space well like for my
ex-friends like when i hang out with thai girls when when they when their husbands or boyfriends
are at home and not going out it doesn't have to be at nighttime the day time ago they were like
oh like my boyfriend is at home now my husband and i'm like they kind of like want to go home
or dead guys we just call them and like where are you or when you're gonna come
back something like that and the last one you got more points coming yeah okay go ahead go
ahead go on she made notes folks she made some notes yeah because like just in case the notes
go on what do you have down there um okay one more thing is that um
you like with with non thai it's equal
okay what do you mean equal what like woman and men like it's their equal i mean you
you do your job as well i do my job as well and the housework would do it together
it doesn't have to be like oh you woman your wife your girlfriend you do that you do the laundry you
do the housework because money money time and they i wouldn't say all of them but i'll say that like
yeah money that is so it's like they're marrying a woman or they have a yeah i would say marry
marrying a woman like and at that woman not a wife turned into a maid like you're certainly
not a maid no i mean i'm doing the household yeah we both take turns sooner or later we like help
each other like and i'm like oh yeah like i don't have time for this can you do this can you help me
like i do you do this i do that like what we do together and that's good thing that
i like about it any more points there no well the most interesting point is parents because
many thai women if they have if they are in relationship with um thai men
or thai families at the attainments of course um relationship or marriage like
when that time you have to meet the guy's parents you feel like oh will i get approved
like there will be status going on there you have to be like it made me not confident and
not like it made me uncomfortable they care about what i have or what my parents have what do i have
money like what my parents like so they want to figure out your status yeah like they're
probably like not all of them but like many of them would think that like will i be a leech
yeah to the family something like that
while meeting non-thai parents
it's like meeting friends i don't i feel i feel so calm so i feel easy i don't have to pretend
yeah but i want to pretend i never pretend no you certainly never pretend
that's it that's a good part that's why i marry you okay well thanks for marrying me
that was all right i was expecting um some worse comments there i mean it worked out
well i mean we'll leave it up to the comment section so leave your comments down below and
that's not what you think about what new one said i'm sure people are going to agree some people
