I really respect Thai women. I remember my girlfriend's roommate woman bought chocolates to the market workers just to wish happy Valentine's day. I was really amazed because they didn't know each others but yet she wanted to make workers happy, and put smile on their faces. Much love to Thai people
Another full watch guys like your thai life good work. love the washing up area just like our home in Nong Sung Mukdahan happy subscribers Dave and Lapatporn Pattaya at mo👍👨🏻🔧👩🏽🍳🙏
G'Day Anthony Yes, it's what Thais call a "slow life". Many Thais who stay in Bangkok day dream about living in the North. Thanks for your comments. Take care Brad & Ta
Interesting and very traditional Thai style, thanks for sharing, its really nice to see that you 2 have supported your mother / Mother in law by upgrading the appliances to make them better and safer homes.
G'Day We do what we can to make life a little easier for mum. She is very independent and never asks for anything. She always says "why did you buy that, you shouldn't waste your money" You can understand why Ta is to great, because her mum is also. Thanks for your comments. Take care Brad & Ta
WOW. I'm impressed. What a lovely home, nice lot for veg or even chickens. Thank you so much Brad, Ta and her family for sharing their lovely home with us.
Thank you Brad and Ta for showing and sharing you’r life with us. The comment was made here of the,"unpolluted people",. You’r simple, peaceful and loving way of life is a must have! Thank you again, please keep you'r videos coming .
That was an interesting video of life in the villages of Northern Thailand. Normal is to have two rices; sticky rice and jasmin rice. 75% eaten is sticky rice in the north.
You are a good man my friend. Taking care you your in law. Happy New Year to all of you ftom Australia. Your wife is cute, bubbly and cheerful. You both look good for each other.
Thanks Brad and Ta for sharing the vision of the mothers and cousins houses. And thanks to the mother and cousin for letting us share their wonderful homes .
G'Day Mike They are simple and beautiful people, you feel like part of their family as soon as they welcome you inside their homes. Appreciate your comments. Take care Brad & Ta
I loved it. Thank you very much beautiful home I love you guys you take care and be safe and please make more videos I love them all that's been hours just watching you thank you very much and again take care and be safe and have a beautiful day buy now
Very nice house lots of land around the house is very big in side the house and out the house big gardens like this house very good thank you for sharing .
Love her family and her home.y family and I are going to Thailand in late June til mid July. All 7 of us. We would love to see you and your wife when we are in Bangkok.
Hi brad and ta this is a great video of tas mums home ,some people would turn up their noses at living in a small village but i want them to listen ,what do you hear silence no cars ,buses ,horns just a cockeral crowing in the background .I understand that young people move away for employment but if they all go who will harvest the rice when the older ones cant anymore ? Tas cousins house is great he must be very proud of it and his efforts ,chon has talked about building a house but it the land that costs and if you do not own any there is a big chunk of money more than the house costs to build ,being a carpenter by trade i love the wooden doors some can have very intricate designs on them ,the bucket on good on hot days for a shower anyway great video take care .
G'Day Chris The land in Ban Tham is cheap, you can buy an old house on a block of land for 300,000 baht. ;-) If you love wood, you'll love an upcoming video we have on the wooden houses in Ban Tham. Take care Brad & Ta
Hi brad and ta , chon showed me a seat that she was thinking of buying a wooden type as seen in most thai homes, the grain and coloring in the timber is magnificent i will never let her sell it, they have a gum there called a rainbow gum and the grain is amazing to see all different colors Problem is you cant do any work on your own home or they kick you out of the kingdom against the law protected industries i think it is called must be a way around it .
tha house is so beautiful,same as like indian village houses suprisingly,i expected different....but i enjoyed the video from breakfast to lunch of ur videos,..
The first time we visited my parents house was a culture shock to my husband as he never realized standards were so low and my family have always worked and supported themselves. He went straight out and bought a toilet a shower and heater a sink and some tiles and gave them to papa to change from the old Thai style to a modern bathroom. When we went back upcountry I found my son standing crouched up on top like it was still the old Thai style. He says he understands now but keeps the door locked Ha Ha!! He has now built us a farang style house and Mum's smiling at him a lot...thinks she wants one too
Great video! So nice to learn more about Ta by seeing her family's home! Thank Ta and her mother for sharing! Also, thank Ta's cousin for the tour of his home! Seeing residences in Thailand is always interesting. How long will the bags of rice in the shed last before they go bad? If someone in the village needed medical attention, how far would they have to travel?
G'Day Mark If rice remains free from contaminants, it can be stored indefinitely. The nearest hospital is about 20km's away. Thanks for your questions. Take care Brad & Ta
very nice video. i am from the southern most part of India. Thai life style is just like ours. Thai people are very friendly. I will be visiting Bangkok very soon.
Thank you for your channel very to the point and clean ..more about living in Thailand not partying i am looking at moveing there in a few years ... Again thanks to both of you...
Hi there from Sydney. The sights and sounds of this video remind me of my wife's parents house which is (relatively) close by in Lamphun. One day we'll hopefully get my parent in the laws house looking nice and new like the one you have in this video.
Great video Brad and Ta. Thanks for the tour of both Ta's and her cousin's house. I can't believe you can build a quality house like her cousin's for just under $30,000 AUD (excluding land of course). Most people in Sydney would spend more buying a car (same in Bangkok I guess). I know Bangkok is way more expensive than Ta's village but Sydney's property market is crazy (median house price is just over $1.1 million and you won't get much for that or even close to the city). P.S. I'm sure that cat at 4:39 was up some kind of mischief, walking around the village like it owns the place :)
G'Day Yes, it's certainly a different World. There was a house for sale not far from Ta's mum for 300,000 baht (under AUS$12,000 for house & land), but we didn't get a chance to go and have a look at it. Land is very cheap in that area. Thanks for watching. Take care Brad & Ta
Your videos with your lovely wife have made me decide to make an extended visit to Thailand starting next week with a view to seeing if I can make a life there too. You were so lucky to meet the right woman. I would ask for more advice from you - but not on this open forum. Many Thanks - Frank.
G'Day Frank Nice to hear from you again. You can either contact us through our Facebook page facebook.com/OurLifeThai/ Or Our email address ourlifethai@gmail.com Take care Brad & Ta
Both homes are different but comfortable. Her Cousin must be very proud of his home. They have a lovely family. Informative for those that want to learn the older way and younger ways of living.
Sticky rice as far as I know is called blue rose type rice- the kind my mother buys by the brand named Botan and its also know as short grain rice - Long grain rice are like Mahatma Brand Rice- short grain can be made for rice pudding breaks down very mushy,soupy like and long grain no matter how much water you put does not break down like short grain, that's the kind used for making Spanish Rice. Now i'm hungry for rice
(this is my work mail( ive been in country thai houses and have always liked them. my house here in my country is similar as my husband is thai and treats the house the same way. it drives my family and friends crazy as here people are very 'house proud' and the interior design /cleanliness and 'matchingness' are very important here. and ther e is a real separation of outdoors and indoors here as well, although plants are used as decor, and thais dont seem to use plants indoors as much. but here people liek very 'not messy' houses, and find this thai upcountry style messy and disortanized. a fascinating anthropology of the cultural use and consideration of what makes a home, a home.
My wife lived in a house similar to this in David, Chiriqui province, Panama. Near the Costa Rica border. They were 5 sisters in the house, lots of salsa nights :)
G'Day Council / Government fees (sewerage, garbage collection, etc) 100 baht (US$3.15) Per YEAR. Mum pays a separate water and electricity bill each month. Electricity - average 140 baht (US$4.40). The house doesn't have air conditioning. Water - average 15 baht (US$0.47). Gas is only by the bottle in Thailand and is only for cooking. Cost 400 baht (US$12.60) and lasts for over 6 months.

I like the old wooden house that was demolished. I wished they just kept that one. They could have enlarged it but kept that design. It looks much nicer.
It's awesome that you're both taking time to show us all the details, Love your videos. Makes me want to come to Thailand even more. :) In Canada, it'd be impossible to build such houses because of the winter.
She just bought the sheet at the local market to hang & keep the sun out of the house. She had no idea that it was a flag. When Ta told her what it was she said, "should I take it down? I don't want to show off." 👍🤣🙏
Thank you for the nice tour ! Question for you.......I know Thailand has poisonous snakes, Are they ever an issue around the home in these rural areas ? Everybody seems to be walking around kind of carefree, and with bushes and things around the yard I was curious if anybody has a problem at times with that. Love your videos ! Steve,
G'Day Steve You would be more likely to have a problem with a snake in your home in a built up area like Bangkok then you would upcountry. There's plenty of room for the snakes to live around the farms and in the mountains with their natural food source and so they would seldom come into the built up area of the village. Thanks for your question. Take care Brad & Ta
I do wonder about the replacing of traditional Thai houses on stilts with block homes on concrete. The more modern houses are probably stronger in heavy winds, but more prone to flooding. You see much the same change in northern Australia.
Loved video, liked now am in Phetchaburi with darling lady. I will go back to America February 7,,, I learn much from you both thank you,,, Will be back in a few months, maybe we will meet
Sorry we didn't have the time to stay in Bangkok. We took bus from ChaAm to Airport and my flight was in afternoon,,, Aranya went on north by bus to visit her village and Mom.... I am home in Florida now and will contact you both when I return,,,, thank you some much for your videos and especially your style,,, You both are so nice to follow,,, Good people,,, very much a pleasure. Wally and Aranya.
G'Day William Yes, I think that it's a quilt cover that mum bought from the market. She just thought it was a pattern and didn't realise it was a flag. :-) Thanks for watching. Take care Brad & Ta
What a great way of life and lovely homes, I would swap a continuous cockerel crying for the sounds of sirens I hear all day long..... simple fresh food instead of confusing g.m food.......and having to worry about lizards coming through the letterbox instead of bills and demands and people trying to sell you crap....... real community spirit..........who knows in that environment you might even end up feeling like your living instead of just existing..... I dream of such a life!
Hi Brad, just curious, why does Ta’s mom have the Singapore flag there? Curious to know how a couple of our flags ended up in rural Thailand. Great vids as always
G'Day Rohaizad Welcome to Our Life Thai Mum bought what I believe is a bed sheet at the local market and she just thought is had a pattern on it. She didn't realise that it was a flag. 55 Thanks for your question Take care Brad & Ta
Our Life Thai Ah I see. Thanks for your reply Brad. My family goes to Bangkok almost every other year. We love it! If you and Ta are ever in Singapore, we will be most happy to bring you guys around. Best regards to the both of you.
I really respect Thai women. I remember my girlfriend's roommate woman bought chocolates to the market workers just to wish happy Valentine's day.

So In Thailand is same like in Nepal that is one big house would be inhabited by many families, is like that?
Very nice people and I enjoy your relaxed and friendly style of presenting
Great video! So nice to learn more about Ta by seeing her family's home!
Thank Ta and her mother for sharing!
Also, thank Ta's cousin for the tour of his home!
Seeing residences in Thailand is always interesting.
How long will the bags of rice in the shed last before they go bad?
If someone in the village needed medical attention, how far would they have to travel?

If rice remains free from contaminants, it can be stored indefinitely.
The nearest hospital is about 20km's away.

Great video Brad and Ta. Thanks for the tour of both Ta's and her cousin's house. I can't believe you can build a quality house like her cousin's for just under $30,000 AUD (excluding land of course). Most people in Sydney would spend more buying a car (same in Bangkok I guess). I know Bangkok is way more expensive than Ta's village but Sydney's property market is crazy (median house price is just over $1.1 million and you won't get much for that or even close to the city). P.S. I'm sure that cat at 4:39 was up some kind of mischief, walking around the village like it owns the place :)
G'Day
Yes, it's certainly a different World.
There was a house for sale not far from Ta's mum for 300,000 baht (under AUS$12,000 for house & land), but we didn't get a chance to go and have a look at it. Land is very cheap in that area.

but here people liek very 'not messy' houses, and find this thai upcountry style messy and disortanized.

Perfect is impossible, but it comes pretty close. :-)

Do they pay water and sewage, and garbage or refuge. Like USA, also electricity, and gas for cooking?
G'Day
Council / Government fees (sewerage, garbage collection, etc) 100 baht (US$3.15) Per YEAR.
Mum pays a separate water and electricity bill each month.
Electricity - average 140 baht (US$4.40). The house doesn't have air conditioning.
Water - average 15 baht (US$0.47).
Gas is only by the bottle in Thailand and is only for cooking. Cost 400 baht (US$12.60) and lasts for over 6 months.
It's so cheap to live upcountry in Thailand.
Thanks for your question.
Take care
Brads & Ta
Our Life Thai, you may wish to get mom an induction cooktop. Reduces the need for propane gas cooking.
Im so happy for your family!!!!!!!!!

It's awesome that you're both taking time to show us all the details, Love your videos. Makes me want to come to Thailand even more. :) In Canada, it'd be impossible to build such houses because of the winter.

4:18 Why is mom flying flags of Singapore in the backyard?
She just bought the sheet at the local market to hang & keep the sun out of the house. She had no idea that it was a flag.
When Ta told her what it was she said, "should I take it down? I don't want to show off." 👍🤣🙏
Thank you for the nice tour ! Question for you.......I know Thailand has poisonous snakes, Are they ever an issue around the home in these rural areas ? Everybody seems to be walking around kind of carefree, and with bushes and things around the yard I was curious if anybody has a problem at times with that. Love your videos ! Steve,
G'Day Steve
You would be more likely to have a problem with a snake in your home in a built up area like Bangkok then you would upcountry. There's plenty of room for the snakes to live around the farms and in the mountains with their natural food source and so they would seldom come into the built up area of the village.
Thanks for your question.

I do wonder about the replacing of traditional Thai houses on stilts with block homes on concrete. The more modern houses are probably stronger in heavy winds, but more prone to flooding. You see much the same change in northern Australia.
good simple living and the floor tiles are sensational I think
How much does a typical rice field cost?
Loved video, liked now am in Phetchaburi with darling lady. I will go back to America February 7,,, I learn much from you both thank you,,, Will be back in a few months, maybe we will meet

Are those Singapore national flags at 4:17?!! and also at 8:59?
G'Day William
Yes, I think that it's a quilt cover that mum bought from the market.
She just thought it was a pattern and didn't realise it was a flag. :-)
Thanks for watching.

What a great way of life and lovely homes, I would swap a continuous cockerel crying for the sounds of sirens I hear all day long..... simple fresh food instead of confusing g.m food.......and having to worry about lizards coming through the letterbox instead of bills and demands and people trying to sell you crap....... real community spirit..........who knows in that environment you might even end up feeling like your living instead of just existing..... I dream of such a life!

Appreciate you sharing your thoughts

Hi Brad, just curious, why does Ta’s mom have the Singapore flag there? Curious to know how a couple of our flags ended up in rural Thailand. Great vids as always

Welcome to Our Life Thai
Mum bought what I believe is a bed sheet at the local market and she just thought is had a pattern on it.
She didn't realise that it was a flag. 55
