Thank you all so much for enjoying this video! I hope I inspired with my story more people to follow their dreams, it is never too late!n I had lots of fun making this with my dear friend Maayan, who again made a great video! Love and Peace from the island girl Jessi
Love this video! Thank you for being such a great interviewee; twice! You were my first Day in the Life and i hope to make many more. Hopefully they are all so willing to share like you are! You're a shining star, bright and beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Maayan, after watching a few of your vedios this one convinced me to subscribe. You are a natural born story teller love how you present the story. Please keep up the female solo vedios. There are so many male expats in Thailand it is inspiring to see solo females. I hope to make the move to Thailand in 1 yr so this was very inspiring as I am in my early 50s.
I agree with you, and love how Maayan finds women to interview. Thailand has always seemed like a western man's playground, and since we women experience Thailand in a very different way, it is nice to see Maayan's interpretation through her lens.
@amy t Thank you for sharing your story so honestly, you will be inspiring women to follow their dreams even though it is scary. There are so many male expact TH-camrs out there and young solo female travellers but hard to find any in our age group...so thank you, your story definitely resonated with me.
So wonderful to read all of your comments. Yeah, Thailand can definitely have that reputation of being a man's playground but that is seriously just a very small part of Thailand which can be just in your face in some areas but in many others, like ours, it's a place for everyone, men, women, Thai and expat of all ages. Everyone is welcome and enjoying this very special place in their own way. I definitely will tell more ladies' stories but I plan to keep portraying a variety of people. Next week, a Thai reggae bar owner! (If I manage this in time, that's always the question...)😅😅😅 Thanks for all your support you beautiful ladies ❤️❤️❤️
Thais don't care what age of expats come to leave here as long as you get along well with the locals not arrogant, be humble. Mostly Thais welcome all Expats, no matter gender you are. My recommendation is PKK, Prachub Kiri khan, down south of famous Hua Hin. There are Expats living peacefully near the beach. Kare mom of Chuck(no time to be sad channel), 70 years, American live alone.
I live in California but I am from Switzerland German part. I am actually coming to Thailand in March around for a year. Definitely will visit your island.
Hi Mayaan: Thank you for introducing us to Jessica who is a very artistic and talented woman. It was very interesting to hear her story. The most important thing is that Jessica is happy and has made a lovely life for herself Her jewelry is gorgeous. Wishing you, Mon and your family good health, happiness and a wonderful 2023. Big hugs. 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Well, I think Jessica is really brave, it's not so easy to emigrate and build a new life, of course there is no social assistance in Thailand, just like here in Germany, but she's so euphoric about it, I hope she can stay there forever and I wish her a nice man at her side and she should eat more Thai food🇹🇭that tastes much better
Yes agree to all! I think she would be happy with a nice man, and I like Thai food better too! Although I know the craving for western food sometimes hahaha
So lovely she is! Haha the island girl 😃 I hope her wish comes true and she will remain living on that beautiful island for many many years to come ❤️ see you soon! 🏆 stay champ ;)
Thank-you Maayan & Jessica! Maayan, I truly enjoy your interviews & videos. Happy New Year to you, Mon & family. I wish for you this new year...joy, prosperity, peace and love. Much love to all! ❤️🇨🇦
Happy 2023 New Year to Maayan, Mon & their 2 lovely children. Yes, I agree with your many subscribers that you’re excellent producing videos especially on foreigners living in Koh Lanta. I have seen many of them & the biggest & the No 1 prize goes to the video of Mr Salai & the Swedish girl who got reunited after few decades apart. That was sensational & emotional. You got about 8 million hits in 3 months. The world 🌎 agrees. Bravo 👏 Video of the year for 2022 form Maayan Production 🎥🇳🇱🤳🇮🇱
Hi Maayan, love the sensible way you draw a so fitting portrait of all the people you make us meet. I find it unique. You are able to step completely back. No judgement and the sweetest way to ask even serious questions and give a little help. Wonderful.🫶
Oh my goodness, it's so good to see you making new videos again! I just love watching them. You always give off a feel-good vibe no matter what the story of the day is about. So please keep them coming😃
Delightful, sacred lady who cherishes her life of living "island styling" .....🏖️ No city to becken her back with desire 🏙️ Fantastic chat of share with her & gorgeous stone jewelry ❣️. Good blessings your way 2023 🥳. ✌️☮️
"Living the moment" ... that's all we have! Past is past, future is not here. Looks like "island girl" has made a wonderful life for herself. Another excellent video, Maayan! Wish you could make more, but I understand your life is very busy. Best wishes for a wonderful 2023 to you, Mon and your children. Thanks for sharing your life stories.
Hello Mayaan, i wish you a prosperous happy new Year 2023 ! This portrait of Jessica is so great, she is a characterful woman ! how funny, on new years party i was wearing a *Shiva eye* ring, it is one of my fav shells, - her friend is creating gorgeous jewellery and the store is looking so beautiful ! Good luck for her🍀your filming is fantastic and made this story interesting ! Love it💝👍Ty!
ALOHA.. I love how you share stories about others moving to Thailand.. You are doing a great job not only as a mother.. wife and Business Manager for your Resort you are also a great friend to us who enjoy your vlogs.. I always look forward to them… GOD BLESS your Beautiful family.. We love you
Thank you my dear Jaylene. I have many Jobs indeed. Sometimes I think too much.... trying to juggle all of it and find a way to do the things I love the most-most.
Excellent as always. One thing that resonates with me is Thais only living for today and not particularly concerning themselves about the future. I've been around that for near on 30 years. There is no convincing either my wife or her daughter that it is a good idea to put money away for a rainy day. Their attitude is you die you cannot spend then.. Not sure that is a general thing but stands out in my household. Pity about the next 20 odd years you might live like a pauper. Very sad really. Top notch video as always Maayan. Thankyou 🤩
Not all Thais are only living for today. If you see and hangout with middle class, educated and professional people, you would know that we are also forwards-looking people. Thailand has 60 mils population and we have diverse group of people from different mentality. Yes…there are such group of Thais who only living for today and there are large groups with such mentality but it does not mean all of us are thinking that way. But unfortunately a lot of foreigners especially white people always end up with such group of people and not those with professional and middle class background. Can someone here answer me why?
@@Min-ro7cz Hi perhaps some are surching for this life-feeling to live for today and not thinking of tomorrow ? we encounter sometimes people they have something we miss... to be middle class and educated and professional isnt anymore the best way of life in this hustle bustle busy stressfull exhausting world ? i admire Thai people in all their ways of life, and they are educated !
I totally agree with what you say. My husband is Thai and one of the most "thinking and saving for the future" people I know. The longer I live in thailand, the more I feel that you it's difficult to say anything in general about Thai people, as like you say, 60 million people are all so different. But no worries, soon coming portraits of Thai people too of all kind! Big hugs to you and thanks for watching!
@@SweetLifeLanta Yes clearly not an across the board thing. Just Jessica's comment that stood out for me personally. My wife being from a poorer rural family and they never had any wealth and her extended family had always lived that way, financially from day to day. Given the opportunity to change all that by coming to Australia meant for them is spend, spend, spend including the thrill of the gamble which the Thai community here appear to enjoy whether it be within their parties they have or nights out to casinos and clubs. Maybe I am partly to blame for that losing control of it over the years. Your and Mon's achievements together are spectacular and have been a hell of a lot of hard work together. Mon's Cooking Classes regularly on his channel is a sleeping giant waiting to awaken :)
Einfaches Kompliment an Dich Jessica: „Du bist toll." Beste Grüße von einem anderen Auswanderer aus Hamburg. Wir haben in Bulgarien unser Paradies gefunden. Aber Asien stand für mich als dem Buddhismus geneigter Mensch, der mit 7 Jahren mit Judo angefangen und das fast 30 Jahre gemacht hat auch immer mit im Fokus. Frei sein und nicht mehr in Deutschland leben ist eine sehr schöne Reise - auch in sich selbst. Beste Grüße.
Das war die beste Entscheidung meines Lebens die westlicge Welt zu verlassen. Ihr und ich haben alle richtig gemacht. Auch euch nur das beste und viel Freiheit
Thank you Maayan for another fascinating story. Really nice to meet Jessica. I tried to connect to purchase some of her beautiful jewelry and hit a snag. I will try again. Lovely video.
Well…I like your video a lot Mayan. Just to share a bit there are Thais who also think about tomorrow and future as well. But those Thais are from a different group of the society and mostly live in a city and well-educated. Thailand has 60 mils population and we have a lot of diverse group of people in term of mentality…I believe more diverse than Europe.
I do very much agree with you on this. The more Thai I speak and the more I get to know Thai people, the less I feel the need to say anything in general about "Thai people". There are rich and poor, highly educated and "streetwise", extremely hard working or soooo lazy, think about today only, or plan about the future (too much even), they come in all shapes! I'm gonna continue these portraits of people on the island and show all kinds of Thai people too, promise! Thanks so much for watching and for your comments and please keep them coming!
Nice to see another Thai AMWF couple on TH-cam! We agree.. it's never to late to move to paradise, we're moving back to Thailand soon too.. Can't wait 😁😁😁
Enjoyable story life, I wish to all who wants really to be free, be Free and live in the Now without worries of how to survive tomorrow. 👌Good video Mayaan.Jessica you have cool jewelries in your shop. The jewelry master is really a master.
She's right on living conditions. There's nothing to fall on when u r broke/sick in SEAsia. Tough soul. I pray that there will b some sort of welfare for the weak/poor
Hi Love your video’s. Here also a single, I have lived in Bangkok for 14 years now, but moving to one of the islands sounds very tempting after watching this video ❤
Yet, again, well done! It's great to see your talent as a filmmaker and editor, grow and grow! Your stories about life in Thailand are always fascinating, and full of human interest, and most of all , they make me wish that I was also living there, escaping the cold and dreary UK winters, but know that life is hard, wherever you make your bed, so I just enjoy the temporary escape from reality when experiencing a glimpse of other people's lifestyles that you portray here, as love my family too much! 💙
Wow what a beautiful comment from you again. I really appreciate it! This whole TH-cam thing is a totally unexpected new career which I had never even dreamed of. But I'm so happy I found it. It gives me so much happiness and fulfilment. I'm sure you know what I mean. Big hugs to you!
@Sweet Life Lanta Yes, I can see that you really are flying now, totally excited about presenting little snapshots of the world around you, whether for the benefit of armchair travellers or the adventurous ones who will surely wish to see and meet all the people who you have now made famous in Koh Lanta! Then there's all the food to experience too ... irresistible!
@@SweetLifeLanta you? Omg I would love too,lol!!! I know Jessica but I will stop by to visit her for few days. I have family in koh Samui...and all over esaan areas.
This lady is not living in Thailand, she is living in her own world. How do you live 14 years in a country and not speak the language, nevermind adopting the culture?
Not that uncommon, i come from a thai/chinese mixed fam in thailand but was mainly raised in germany and 95% of a lot of thais i know, who live here in germany are VERY basic in speaking german ( includes my mom who lives in germany for 20+ years already), same with quite a lot of turkish people i got know trhoughout my live in germany (mostly the older turkish ppl , all parents from friends that i had in germany , i was never able to really talk with them ). Anyways, fact is, its not that rare that ppl either cant speak the language at all except very few words like hello, bye and thank you or quite basic only. Thats just how it is, right or wrong. + personally i think its fine if ppl speak learn to speak the language at least basic (enough for small conversations) if they live in thailand, but anything else im also not really concerned about it. People are ok enough with english in many places , a bigger concern would be for example countries in asia like Japan ,where ppl speak much less english or often times avoid it, when a english speaker needs help etc.
I am this Lady who doesnt speak perfect Thai. It is very hard for me to learn a new language. I am trying my best but the language isnt all to be part of a different culture. There is so much more to it!
I have also been living here in Thailand for many years. Learning this language was never a goal for me because it makes no sense if you are not with a Thai man 24/7. As a single woman you are at a disadvantage compared to foreign men. 95% of them either have a Thai wife or frequently changing Thai partners. English is the world language, which the new generation of Thais is slowly understanding. You should also have an affinity for languages. I speak a little Russian, French and Italian, but Thai is a tongue twister and not a melodic language to my ears.
sorry if this is a daft question but how were you able to build a home in thailand? i want to do the same but seems very difficult as a foreigner that is not married to a thai.
You are allowed to own a house but not land. So if you want to buy land, you need to do it either with a Thai partner or with a company. So it is definitely possible but you will always have to have a Thai partner in your business and/or land (but you don't need to be in a love relationship).
Hi Meracha, I read your comment in Thai but difficult for me to answer in Thai, so i'm writing this in English. I'm so sorry to hear about your bad experiences in Germany, that's so unfortunate. I wish we all would be treated like humans regardless of where we're from, our accent or skin color. Thanks so much for sharing your real experiences. Maybe one day we can do a video together ❤️ 😉
Thank you all so much for enjoying this video! I hope I inspired with my story more people to follow their dreams, it is never too late!n
I had lots of fun making this with my dear friend Maayan, who again made a great video!
Love and Peace from the island girl Jessi

one thing I like about Thailand is their culture of taking off your shoes before you enter the house, I should adopt this even though I am in Africa
Yes, now I do it when I go back to The Netherlands. But I hate it when dirt keeps getting stuck to my feet because people wear shoes in the house.
I live in California but I am from Switzerland German part. I am actually coming
to Thailand in March around for a year. Definitely will visit your island.

This lady is not living in Thailand, she is living in her own world. How do you live 14 years in a country and not speak the language, nevermind adopting the culture?
Not that uncommon, i come from a thai/chinese mixed fam in thailand but was mainly raised in germany and 95% of a lot of thais i know, who live here in germany are VERY basic in speaking german ( includes my mom who lives in germany for 20+ years already), same with quite a lot of turkish people i got know trhoughout my live in germany (mostly the older turkish ppl , all parents from friends that i had in germany , i was never able to really talk with them ). Anyways, fact is, its not that rare that ppl either cant speak the language at all except very few words like hello, bye and thank you or quite basic only. Thats just how it is, right or wrong. + personally i think its fine if ppl speak learn to speak the language at least basic (enough for small conversations) if they live in thailand, but anything else im also not really concerned about it. People are ok enough with english in many places , a bigger concern would be for example countries in asia like Japan ,where ppl speak much less english or often times avoid it, when a english speaker needs help etc.
I am this Lady who doesnt speak perfect Thai. It is very hard for me to learn a new language. I am trying my best but the language isnt all to be part of a different culture. There is so much more to it!
I have also been living here in Thailand for many years. Learning this language was never a goal for me because it makes no sense if you are not with a Thai man 24/7. As a single woman you are at a disadvantage compared to foreign men. 95% of them either have a Thai wife or frequently changing Thai partners. English is the world language, which the new generation of Thais is slowly understanding. You should also have an affinity for languages. I speak a little Russian, French and Italian, but Thai is a tongue twister and not a melodic language to my ears.
Where to buy from the shop, I can't find their online shop page
sorry if this is a daft question but how were you able to build a home in thailand? i want to do the same but seems very difficult as a foreigner that is not married to a thai.
You are allowed to own a house but not land. So if you want to buy land, you need to do it either with a Thai partner or with a company. So it is definitely possible but you will always have to have a Thai partner in your business and/or land (but you don't need to be in a love relationship).
@@SweetLifeLanta thanks for your response its much appreciated
ค่าครองชีพบนเกาะมันแพงมากเลยใช่ไหมครับมีคนบอกว่าราคาน้ำดื่มบนเกาะกับราคาน้ำดื่มที่แผ่นดินใหญ่ราคาไม่เหมือนกันบนเกาะจะแพงกว่ามาก
What’s song in the video?
👍👍👍👍
You were born in the wrong country. I’m glad you like Thailand enough to live here forever.❤
And now we have a chance to move around. It's perfect
สวัสดีค่ะ มายัน ค่ะคนเยอรมันไม่ค่อยรับภาษาอื่นเท่าไหร่ตามที่รู้มา สู้คุณมายันก็ไม่ใด้ เขาบอกว่าทำงานกับคนไทยมันยาก ถามคุณมายันหน่อย ว่ามันยากตรงไหนเหรอ มายันงงใช่ไหมที่เขาบอกว่าทำงานกับคนไทยมันยาก แต่ฉันทำงานที่เเยอรมันยากยิ่งกว่าค่ะ ทั้งดูถูก ทั้งกลั่นแกล้ง ถ้าทำงานกับคนไทยมันยาก ก็กลับไปเยอรมันสิจะใด้ง่ายๆพูดภาด้อยน่ะ ไม่ชอบคนเยอรมันแบบนี้เลยย แต่ชอบคุณมายันมาก คุณมายันฉลาด เข้าใจอะไรใด้ง่ายกว่าคนบางคนที่คิดว่าตัวเองฉลาดกว่าคนอื่น
Hi Meracha, I read your comment in Thai but difficult for me to answer in Thai, so i'm writing this in English. I'm so sorry to hear about your bad experiences in Germany, that's so unfortunate. I wish we all would be treated like humans regardless of where we're from, our accent or skin color. Thanks so much for sharing your real experiences. Maybe one day we can do a video together ❤️ 😉
does expat mean immigrant?
I really hope that this is a provocative question.
