Why This Thai Woman Prefers Life in Denmark 🇩🇰🇹🇭 

It starts with learning the language. The rest follows naturally from that. Great interview! Great interviewer! Great interviewee! Wow!

Sounds like my Thai wife. We first lived in Bangkok 5 years together before moving to Sweden 29 years ago. I want to retire in Thailand but she will never move back there. We visit relatives in ChiangRai once or twice per year. That’s enough she says!? She also has her own business that pays for a comfortable life here. She also refere to the lack of openness in Thailand as the main reason. And we have two grown up sons that have good lives here. Both of them are dual citizens and spent a few years in Thailand to explore the possibilities there, both opted to stay in Sweden

So many similarities to my mom's story. She came to Denmark 32 or 33 years ago and is also from Nakhon Phanom. She tried not to get too involved with other thai people in order to get better at danish. While studying she had me and my five brothers and she's now an intensive care nurse :D Anyway great story. Might visit the restaurant some day!

Very intelligent and hard working woman. Deserves all the success.

You're knocking it out of the park with these interviews. Another banger Paddy nice one sir 🎉🎉

I would like you to interview my sister in Iceland she also successfully achieved her dreams in her Thai restaurant business. Now all of siblings are in Iceland helping her business. The name of her restaurant is Kris Thai that well known for tourists and locals

My Thai mother is the opposite. She wants to return to Thailand after nearly 30 years, but then again we live in Canada which has become kind of an awful place to live (increased prices everywhere, competitive housing and jobs, and crimes have also been worsening).

My flight was ruined and had to change my plan to stay one night in Copenhagen. Her delicious Isaan food brightened up my day!

So wholesome, so sweet. I love her copenhagen dialect! Will be sure to check out her place the next time im in the city 😊

I have lived half my life here in Thailand....however, I have never met a Thai living in the west that wants to return to thailand to live.

What a lovely lady she is, really inspiring! My wife has been living with me in England for just under 5 months now and she’s slowly starting to adapt to our way of life over here and is loving it.. regarding the politics subject she mentioned comparing between Europe and Thailand she’s right but since our new government came into power, we aren’t allowed an opinion here if it doesn’t fit their agenda otherwise we end up in prison but I’ll leave that one there.. lol, another great video paddy and once again an inspiring lady that my wife can look up to! Bless her! Cheers

Great interview 👍 I clearly cannot relate to her as a farang married to a Thai who loves Thailand and wants to move there. Thailand is the greatest country I've ever been.

Brilliant Interview!. I m from North eastern Thailand like her. I feel the same way as i don't feel I can fit in with Thai ways of thinking and culture anymore. You cant say something, you are forced to say only nice things in particular topics, to particular group of people, you have to be a people pleaser even you think differently deep inside you. If you don't, your life won't go far. Very happy living in Australia atm, more open-minded society. Of course not everyone is open-minded or good like everywhere else in the world but it doesn't affect me at all as i choose not to worry about them, just focus on good people and your own positivity. I find that Many people here are taking things for granted because they don't grow up in a disadvantaged background in country like Thailand where the struggle is a lot harsher. For me, Australia is the land of opportunities, you just need to work hard , be smart on how you live and spend, show your capabilities, skills, good ethic, honesty to people who you work for and work with. Then, opportunities will arise . You definitely can move up your social status easier than living in Thailand. Social structure is fairer and a lot less corruptions. Nowhere is perfect either Australia or Thailand. Life is short and you choose to live where you can fit in and enjoy your lifestyle the most. Thailand also has many good things and i may go back to live in Thailand again to fullfill my responsibilities in the future but for now i love where I live. 😊

As a Norwegian I 'd say her Danish sound just like a native Dane 🙏

More immigrants like her and none off thoose criminals ones. You have my deepest respect❤ Hilsen fra Nordjylland❤

What a great interview! It's so true what k. Ranee said about learning the local language as this is the foundation of integrating into the culture of the country. I do wish the foreigners that live here in Thailand would follow her example and learn the language.

love these. great questions. ranee’s suggestion to learn the language is so spot on. i knew a thai lady that lived in los angeles for 9 years and didn’t speak a lick of english. stayed in her thai enclave. must have been stressful to navigate through life.

Learning the language always opens many doors in any country. Great video Paddy. A nice lady.

incredible story! thank you for giving us this interview! :)

Wow, she’s very sensible and very adaptive. I wish I could visit her restaurant one day.

Major respect to that lady, Gotta go get her food one day...

I am a Pakistani-Australian and I live in Pakistan with my beautiful Thai wife. She didn't marry me to live in Australia but married me because of who I am. The moral of the story is: Not All Thai Women Are Gold Diggers 😂

Woo..I am from Singapore and I goes to Nakhon Phanom, in a village call Laem Thong every years. I speak fluent Thai too. Have a god-grandson over there. Sponsor him in his study at the Rangsit University in Bangkok. Sawatdi Khrup 🙏 Nice interview.

Welcome to Denmark, Paddy ! Years ago I have eaten at Ranees with fellow Thai language students and our teacher Khruu Malika. Enjoy your stay in CPH.

Great interview Paddy - next time in CPH we will visit Rannee’s

Ranee indeed seems incredibly impressive, we are lucky to have migrants like her here in our small nation.

This entire series of European videos has been spectacular. Well done. Glad you were able to seamlessly work content into a pretty amazing personal vacation 🙂

คุ็ฌ Paddy งานดีมากๆ เริ่ดมากครับเหมื่อนเดิม graciasss😊😍

This was brilliant

Another great video mate 👍

If she backs to Thailand, she has to start from scratch again, while living in Denmark after paying huge tax all of her life, she can enjoy retirement benefit while earning more money from her restaurant.

If I was a single mom like her,. I would decide to leave abroad as well. Living in Bangkok I don't have my last security when I'm getting older. I do not look for new love. I only wish I could work part-time abroad and return back to live in Thailand some part of the year. That will be my dream. I love to travel and explore🎉

Very cute and delightful video. This lady is a real gem of a person. Spunky, kind and likes a good laugh.

Very handsome with new haircut Paddy.😀 Just a thought but when you're interviewing folk it may be good if they provide their Thai answers just a little slower than the breakneck speed answers are sometimes provided. I can normally understand most of your Thai, because your delivery understands the capability of your audience.😉

ไม่แปลกที่คนไทยที่อยู่ต่างประเทศนาน ๆ จะคุยกับคนไทยที่อยู่ในประเทศมาตลอดไม่เข้าใจ การขัดเกลาทางสังคมกับสิ่งที่เป็นไปรอบตัว บริบทมันต่างกัน การตัดสินว่าใครดีใครถูกใครใช้ไม่ได้ มันไม่งาย เท่าที่สังเกต คนที่ไปอยู่ต่างประเทศนานๆ ทั้งคนไทยและคนต่างชาติถ้ามีความมั่นคง มีความคุ้นเคย ทุกสิ่งทุกอย่างอยู่ที่นั่น ยากที่จะกลับประเทศตัวเอง เพราะไม่รู้จะกลับมาทำอะไร ยากที่จะมาเริ่มต้นใหม่เพราะจากไปหลายปี ่ต้องศึกษาดีๆ สิ่งที่ตัวเองไม่ชอบในประเทศของตัวเองน่าจะเป็นเหตุผลรอง ๆ ลงมามากกว่า

this women is great , hey you do well , respect

What a personality she has! I feel a bit smitten 😅😊 she's lovely! And the food looks great!

really great Series in Europe, keep it up !

mate you are a great interviewer and your subjects are good too. I am also impressed at your knowledge of thai, you don't have to ask her to repeat anything!

What she's also saying is Thailand is a wonderful place for people who want to start a small restaurant because there's so little paperwork you just start your business and in that way I think the Thailand government is wonderful

what a coincidence , im eating there later today 😂

Sawadee kap.very impressive 🎉🎉. wish you and son happy there.i agreed with you,i also knows Danish about milk n cookies 😅😅

Usually after 4 years living and working abroad you would already able to a acclimatise with the local environment, create bonds with people around you while at the same time detaching urself from your homeland. Her case is not unusual.

Denmark mentioned! 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

Wise woman with a smile to match.

Cool! Continue over the bridge to Malmö, Sweden and I will meet up for a beer or coffee :) I am still irritated that I missed your get-together in Sukhumvit soi 11 a few years back.

Let’s order some food from the restaurant 🤩

She migrated to Iceland since 1986

This is what lot of Thais have been saying for years that once they are gone they are gone forever from Thailand, I wonder why her perspective is very shocking to most westerners who moved to Thailand and found that Thai people have been calling Thailand hell on earth or purgatory.

Another interesting interview. How did you discover her?

2:18 Damn that's a perfect ouayy

I wish my dad was like this 🤣 but he can’t get out of England and back to Thailand fast enough

I'm a Danish American married to a Thai woman and living in southern California. When it gets below 78F (25C), she can barely stand it. I honestly think she would die in Denmark!

Hi hi 😂555 welcome to Frb Forun station and Nørrebro Daddy 😊 so for the next time in Copenhagen… hugs from the french guy 🏉

พี่เก่งภาษาเดนนิส มากๆ ทำให้หนู อยากไปเที่ยว เดนมาร์ก ด้วยคะ

Bro can speak way better Thai than me damn respect 🍻🤣

Den restaurant må jeg prøve! Det lignede Blågårds Plads. Er det rigtigt? 💙❤️❤️💙

Ohh She devorced 😢 Cheer from Thailand 🙏🥳🇹🇭🪷🌳🎉

So interesting

คนไทยพูดฝรั่ง ฝรั่งพูดไทย

come to belgium p paddy

Was wondering if you are coming to Gothenburg, sweden?

I wish all immigrants to Western countries were like her. Such a lovely lady.

Welcome to Denmark ❤ How long you gonna stay here?

She has an established business no need to come back.

I wish to visit that restaurant, someone tell me the adress, plesse. Terje from. Norway

What’s an Au Pair?

Got her passport and dumped the farang

Got the papers and then dumped the farang 😕

It was a good interview but let's be honest, if she hadn't met and relied on a Danish man to marry and move her she wouldn't be where she is today.

If you will talk about right-wing topics in Denmark soon you will be fired from your work place as minimum. So lady is not right at all. In Europe is more freedom of speech but it is not big gap from Thailand.

Just a comment to The interviewer- for respect If you can speak Thai you should Add”Khun” before mention just a name to that person . / พูดไทยได้แล้วก็ควรให้ความเคารพคนที่เราสัมภาษณ์ด้วยนะคะ อย่าเรียกเค้าแค่ชื่อฮ่วนๆไป
