What a pleasure to see someone who has found true happiness and fulfillment. So often we grind against the pace of life in the west. When Brenna said that when she steps off that plane and feels at home - and a sense of calm falls on her - I know exactly what she means. Two months to go till I am on a one way ticket.... Great job Adam

[@SLOBeachboy]

Although a lot of people find they are happier in a different city or even a different country than the one they were born in it's important to remember that this does not mean that there is anything inherently wrong with the cities or countries they came from. It's just a matter of personal preference. For example, if some guy prefers vanilla ice cream to chocolate it does not mean that there is anything wrong with chocolate or that most people don’t actually prefer chocolate. And the fact of the matter is the huge majority of Americans would not be happier in living in Thailand in the long run than in the USA. Its also true that a lot of people blame their environment on their unhappiness rather than looking for the answers within themselves. And when these people change their environment thinking it will make them happier, they often find that those same problems tend to follow them around wherever they go. Also, I hate to burst your bubble, but Thailand is hardly some kind of utopia. And while this woman may feel safer in Thailand the truth is she is probably statistically just as likely to get killed or be the victim of a crime there as she would be in the USA. As for me I always felt perfectly safe when I lived in Thailand. But then again, I have also always felt perfectly safe in all the cities I lived in here in California. I did feel much less safe in Thailand however when it came to riding my motorcycle there, and with good reason. Thailand ranks in the top 3 most dangerous countries in the entire world in which to drive, and traffic accidents are the number one cause of non-disease related deaths there. By the way, I when I lived in Thailand I was actually in Phuket and not Bangkok because I figure if you are going to live in the tropics you might as well live near some beautiful beaches. Also, if I want to live in megacity again I would MUCH prefer Tokyo, Japan to Bangkok. I lived in Tokyo for 5 years and those were honestly some of the best years of my life. In any case I am glad that this woman is happy in Bangkok but I can also tell that despite having lived there for years she is blissfully unaware of what goes on beneath the smiling and happy surface veneer of Thai society - as are most Westerners who live there. Still, she should stay there as long as she is happy there.

[@ghingisoverland6932]

@@SLOBeachboy”…blame their environment on their unhappiness…” What?!?!? I guess one can be happy in a dystopia, or unhappy in a utopian society, but which is more likely occur? Maybe you’re the wrong person to ask, you’re probably miserable in any environment. Btw, I prefer vanilla ice cream over chocolate, however if all of my friends prefer chocolate it’s ok, unless that vanilla has a much higher crime rate, toxic politics, toxic race relations, homelessness, drug crisis, mass shooting crisis then maybe the problem is my inability to recognize that chocolate IS better and i need to stop rationalizing in favor of vanilla. Please American boy stay where you’re at, don’t bring that negativity to Thailand.

[@SLOBeachboy]

@@ghingisoverland6932 - I’ve actually become accustomed to getting some pretty unintelligent and bizarre replies on here over the years, but I have to say that yours is a real head scratcher. After all I did not make a single statement that any sane rational person would consider to be even remotely “negative”. In fact, I think I could best sum what I wrote as “there are always two sides to every story” or “one size does not always fit all”. I’m not sure if it’s a reading comprehension problem on your end or if you are just one of those types who is so irrational and so easily triggered that you only hear what you are expecting to hear rather than what is actually being said or written. In any case, my comments are always completely unbiased and are meant to be purely informative and to get people thinking. Furthermore, as someone who has been visiting Thailand for 35 years now and who has spent years living there, (up until 6 months ago) I can tell you that negativity amongst expats over there is already so rampant that it could not really get any worse, so you need not worry about me or anyone else bringing their “negativity” over. In fact, I would say that that the sh*tty attitudes of many of the expats in Thailand was actually one of the big negatives about living there. Speaking of which, I guess I should really thank you for going out of your way to prove this very point for me. By the way, my comment about people sometimes trying to escape their problems be relocating - and I never implied that this was the case with the girl in the video - were based on my many years of experience studying the human mind and I would not really expect someone like you to understand such phenomenon. I was also making the point that for the huge majority of people life in the USA and many other other Western countries is great. So, is that small, disgruntled group of citizens just seeing things that for some reason others can't see? Or is it actually their own cr*ppy attitudes that are causing them all their problems, and which have them thinking that their home countries are horrible and unlivable places? Any halfway intelligent person should be able to figure that one out.

[@SLOBeachboy]

Well, you might be happy living there and you might not be but it's always better to try something and fail than to spend the rest of your live wondering “what if”. And this is exactly the attitude I had when at 25 I decided to just up and move to Tokyo, Japan. It was very scary at first because I had no job lined up and I only had $400 to my name but it all worked out for the best and the 5 years I spent living there turned out to be some of the best years of my life. I also later spent years living in Thailand and I had some good times there as well.

Great interview. Also living in Bangkok as a retiree with two years in Bangkok, she is right on money with her takes, she is also gorgeous and articulate. The negatives: excessive heat/humidity, traffic, pollution(sometimes bad), I don't dwell on any of those negatives because of all the good lifestyle, safety, and cool people stuff she mentions in the interview. I don't miss driving like Brenna, not driving takes alot of stress out of life. At the end of the interview she mentions how she always feels good whenever she arrives back in Thailand, I have never heard anyone else say that but that is the same for me. I would say on the cab ride into the city a tremendous feeling of comfort comes over me like being home.

Im Thai and have been working in Bangkok for 20 years.

Drug Junkies can be anywhere who usually eye on a vulnerable and easy target.

All are pretty much the same good quality. Whether you use AIS True or DTAC, you can go anywhere (literally anywhere, I mean even deep in the jungle or in the middle of the ocean). You will definitely have internet to use) Therefore, the difference may be a matter of price and promotion.

I miss private hospitals in Thailand. Also, beauty services are very affordable. I’m so jealous of my friends when I scroll on fb or ig, how they are able to access beauty services like facial laser, botox, collagen boost injection, vitamin dripping, fine line reduction, hair salon etc, They look extremely younger than their actual age. When I was in Thailand, I went to the salon all the time for a hair wash. These things are so expensive in nyc. Another thing, how crazy is that bkk now has a proper Japanese / korean malls , beauty stores and ssupermarkets . Im in the center of the world nyc and there are not many skincare brands from japan or korea. There are only a few brands in Hmart or teso life.
