- Thai family vlog series episode 1 : While traveling around Bangkok, we got message asking if we can fly to down south of Thailand for Thai family meeting and Thai wedding ceremony, and definitely we said YES !! So we took a trip to Hat Yai in SongKhla province of Thailand for this
Hat Yai is the largest town in Songkhla Province and the fourth largest in Thailand. It is frequented by many travelers passing through from and to Malaysia, lending it a cosmopolitan feel that is unique to the area. It is well known as a travel hub, a medical centre and a shopping haven for Thais. Hat Yai’s appeal is different from Koh Samui’s or Phuket’s and it is an extremely popular tourist spot for Malaysians and Singaporeans meaning that prices are subsequently high and that you won’t see many western faces here except as transit visitors.

I just saw a video that they broke up. And now TH-cam is showing me her family with Jimmy.
Who is here after the break up ?
:(
Bruh, idk why TH-cam is all of a sudden recommending me these. I’ve been a sub and seen their old videos but man it’s like they want me to break down and cry. It’s weird but they feel like they’ve been my friends for a while.
ME! I I love them together since beginning, I still can't accept they actually break up 😭 feel like it's me who the one who break up with my bf. I even ask them to invite me if the wedding happen in Thailand. I still hope there 5% chance that they get back together, I really pray for that!
MEEEEEEE!😥
@@jadevein9667 I respectfully ask you this Jade. Did you ever see genuine love in her eyes for Jimmy when she looked at him?
Please go look at the older videos . Look for this specifically . I did , and i did not see any true love in her eyes . It was all business for her . Like a CEO of a company in a boardroom , only forcing a smile when it suits or benefits themselves . I am older , so i know what i am talking about , having been with someone much like Tah . Always looking for that spark of love from the other person but never seeing it .
Please go back and look for what i am talking about. You will not see it in Tah's eyes . She left because Jimmy wanted to marry her and settle down. That tells a lot right there .
The culture and tradition of thailand is one of the many reasons why tourists love thailand. Hoping to visit thailand soon.
Hi Pyrone ! you definitely should !:D
Yes I’m looking through all your TH-cam videos and will watch them till you stop doing them (which I hope you don’t) I’m recovering from having Chemotherapy and watching your videos it’s really helping me relax and almost help bare with the pain and discomfort so thank you 🙏🏻

Very interesting, cant wait to see the next one! By the way, i also ate bread with condensed milk when i was a kid. It was a breakfast staple for filipino kids when youve got nothing.
Hey Peter ! I love eating bread with condensed milk a lot when i was young, sometimes i put cocoa powder on top hahahah
Really enjoying watching your videos I have just found them on TH-cam it makes me wish I had done something like this but now it’s too late as I’m a 64yrs old British woman with old age disabilities but thankfully I can watch your videos and imagine I’m there to enjoy yourselves and stay safe! Xx
Aww Sue! Thank you so much for watching! We are so grateful to have you enjoy them!
Suddenly this get recommended to me, all of this i believe it meant something, you guys really deserve each other, even Tah bring you to her family..it must be some fight you got there that led to such unexpectedly breakups.

Sure ! give us your email, we will send the infomation to you !:D
Not sure if I want to post my email address on U-tube but one of is going to have to do it so here it is. billweis64@hotmail.com
ill bill - check Jeremy Clodfelter’s channel, he just did several videos with an American who has been teaching English in Thailand for years, best content I’ve seen on the subject
Thank you, I will look into Jeremy's channel. I got some information from three other people as well. States to look into this weekend
Did you fly put of D.M? How much . Thanks. I never been there
Hi Larry, we flew out of Don Mueang Airport, it costs 900 baht each flying with Nok Air. Actually this is pretty expensive for Nok Air, that is because we booked ticket just 1 week in advance:)
Dang Mom looks good!
Aww thank you so much Daniel!
I enjoy watching your videos. The video of Bangkok was interesting. I visited different parts of Thailand four times before moving here. I have been living in Roi Et, in northeast Thailand, for 5
1/2 years now. One thing I
do not share your enthusiasm for is sticky rice. For me it is like eating ground up tree pulp at a paper factory. It has no taste.
OMG! I loveeeeee it!!!! haha
Jimmy, condensed milk on bread is common in Southeast Asia, not only in Thailand.
Angry birds airlines....my favorite.
hahahahahahah
Dang, Tah's Momma is holding it together. That's encouraging for you down the road, WHITE BOY!!
hahahaha
You can get Moo bing anywhere in Thailand, dont worry.
love it so much for breakfast !!:D
I LIKE THE SHADE..WHAT BRAND IS THAT?
There is no brand etand, i got it from sumpeng market in thailand for like about 3 dollars hahah
How do your eyebrows go up the far ???????
Hey Tah what do you think about sin sod? When you and Jimmy get married, should he pay son sod?
I’m very sad right now. You should give second chance for your relationship. You both are made for each other. You compliment each other. Tah please forgive Jimmy or vise versa. You guys, do you know... love is lovelier the second time around 🥰😍🙏🏼😍
She dumped him because he wanted to marry her and settle down , but she wanted to keep living the life of travel .
Basicially she played him for travel and vloging experience
@@ethics3 not true but whatever🙄. Not all but some asians ladies are the most sweetest, caring and loving people . However if you fuck with us, you’ll get what you deserve.
@@affirmative_lovinlife It is absolutely true Christine . Was she sad or hurt in the least about the break up ? No she wasn't . Jimmy was devastated . Maybe you should look at the videos and read the comments of both before you blindly defend one side. It appears you are defending Tah simply because she is female and Asian.. Gender similarity are not grounds of defence . FACTS are .
Also , you cannot judge a whole race of people based on their race . There are good Asians and bad . I judge people on their actions and words , such as if someone uses foul language , they automatically lose credibility in my eyes .
Or if they use the term " But whatever " in the context that you used it. It is done to dismiss or denigrate the other persons statement . Very disrespectful .
I suggest you take a few hours and go over the videos and comments miss.
@@affirmative_lovinlife Also ... Jimmy did not " deserve " what happened to him
Nice thumbnail. Hahaha 😂😂😂
hahaha Thanks! Tried to make it interesting!
Hi Guys!
Tah ur mom still young!
Awww thank you, she is actually 49 years old, she will be so happy seeing your comment !:D
Is it possible to score a visa in Thailand for a westerner these days? Are you married to a Thai?
Specifically for tourist visa, jimmy never have the problem getting one, and no we are not married !:D
Is that a popular T-shirt or are you really an employee of the DOC?
Hey Paul, My brother in law was DOC its his shirt haha
Moo ping sounds so bomb right now 😩
ikr with sticky rice also, speaking of sticky rice, i want somtum + gai yang now 😭
What airline did you fly?
Hey Alaylaana ! we flew with Nok Air, really cheaper than AirAsia hahaah
Divert Living. Nok air. Never heard of it. It must be a local airlines or do they fly outta Thailand? How was it
yes ! they fly to some countries in Asia as well, like China, Japan, Myanmar, Laos, Singapore and Vietnam !:D
'Til 50K... :-)
Awww Erik ! We love you !:D
I CAN UNDERSTAND THAAAAIIII
What! So awesome!
They speak quite funny, not sure what to say
How did you two meet?
I met Tah in South Korea, she went to university while I stationed there
Good thing you didn’t fall on the floor, they may not have been able to find you, “As white as the...”, 🤣
That’s good one Peter Hahahaha 😂😂😂😂
อยากให้มีแปลภาษาไทยด้วยจัง
That's not your mom Tah , its your sister 😍😍😍😍
hahahaha my mom would be so happy seeing your comment !:D
Divert Living and hope she smiles and has a blessed day or evening 😊😊😊
ใหญจุใจไหมฝรั่ง❤️
Idk how to type Thai words but I’m what they are talking about >:>
hahaha
Yai means grandma
Thank you!
Just rename ur channel !! Airport vlogs😂😂😂😂
Great idea ! probably will need to create another channel just for the airport and airplane 😂
Divert Living just imagine how much info u got about security and airports‼️
The worst thing about travelling to places is the travel, lol.
hahahahah you summarized very well LOL
Have your parents meet each other?
Not yet Albert !:)
Divert Living they will someday 😊
What he say? Papaya salad?? Lol
Yes, also know as somtum
Divert Living yes I love somtum. Didn’t think he like that. Lol
It is too sad they have build a great business with 250K subscriber ,that is serious money and they will all lose it.
Only white person? Who cares? It is a great video, but the dude needs to grow up. I grew up in China in a town that had no one from outside China. I still could blend in because I did not freak out about it.
