So you were friends first, not lovers, maybe because of language ?

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

@@charlesjacques750 For me, I just wasn't sure if I wanted to be in a relationship at the time. Stay safe!

[@justinmcintosh6554]

True gift indeed!

[@Tim_Fink]

Hey Joe, I had some free time on my hands so I was able to watch some of your past videos. This video on how you met Gift was really good, I’m glad you found Gift and her family, they helped you out in a big way. I’m happy for you and your blessings . Safe travels!

[@bagelsandmash]

This is great. Me and my Thai Girlfriend-- I mean WIFE! We got married a week ago! We had a similar courtship including her coming to the hospital EVERY DAY for 10 days when I was in the hospital for a Quadruple Bypass! That's when I decided to marry her! Ps. I'm doing great now! We will be back in Thailand this summer and want to come meet you guys and visit your city!

[@theadventuresofbrockinthai4325]

HEY GIFT AND FOURNIER JOE, WHAT A WONDERFUL LOVE STORY THAT WILL NEVER END. I ONLY HAVE A FEW WORDS FRO THE BOTH OF YOU. "JOE, YOU NEED TO PUT A RING ON THAT WOMANS FINGER. SHE'S A KEEPER."

[@EasternWisdom123]

Language and money doesn't matter, she has good heart and personality. Lifetime runs fast enjoy it stress free and full of fun.

[@scottprice4813]

A typical modest moral Thai lady. If you're honest and true they will never leave you.

[@judykekesi5174]

My very favorite Thai/American couple. I love the story how you met and enjoy watching your life journey together. Your relationship doesn't creep me out as most mix couples in Thailand do and it looks truly genuine and loving. Best wishes to you both!

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Thank you 🙏

[@insightwisdom7022]

Joe is so lucky.

[@martinpeacocke8968]

Loved this vlog again!. The perfect way to meet someone become friends first. Gift is beautiful ( not just looks) She was adorable too when you first met. Wonderful! Very happy for you that you met each other!

[@loveit2942]

Really enjoyed the video the kindness you received from Gift and her family in your hour of need is really heart warming, I don't know many people in the west who would have shown such kindness and compassion.

[@vovobillinbrazil]

A great friendship turned partners.Gift is a beautiful woman inside and out. I enjoy watching all of the Thailand travel gang (You, Chuck, Mitch and the ladies). Thanks for the time spent Vlogging. I know it's a commitment and can be draining at times.

[@frankietatcanbearrange3874]

your relationship is one in a few million, where a lady loves you for who you are, irregardless of language & religion

[@jimtrotter4359]

How old were you when you retired? Are you originally from New York or maybe Philadelphia? I say this because of your accent I know you lived in Italy.

[@bernardsoh3938]

Is great Watching this rerun video of your channel again, compared to Gift now ,she really put a lot of effort learning to speak well English, got many improvements. In other ways is blessing in disguise going to Thailand for holiday at the same time.

[@user-um8jz7qk9z]

Wow thank you soooooo much for sharing your story. You got an amazing lady. Great story.

[@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ban6096]

Oh my goodness, such kind people! I doubt that all of that would happen in Spain where I live! I have lived overseas for more than 15 years and I am so glad that you met Gift and her family because it's lonely being by yourself when you're in the hospital! God bless them for their kindness to you.

Hi Joe and Gift, I have watched your story a few times on how you guys met up. I have also watched a lot of your videos on travel and the total part of building a new home which is my profession in Australia. I have never been to Thailand…actually never traveled overseas but will in 2023…I just wanted to say how I admire you both. The small challenges you had to face at the beginning with language and to where you guys are now…you are both very lucky to have found each other…I wish you all the best and will continue to watch what happens..I hope you both had a merry Christmas and have a great western and thai New Years…I hope to one day meet you both..stay safe
