Buying a Christmas tree in Thailand is actually a super difficult thing to do. On Koh Samui there's not a lot of Christmas Trees to buy, and you have to drive all over the Island to find a Christmas Tree. Buying a Christmas Tree was an important part of our Christmas growing up. It feels really great to bring a bit of that from home to here. We also drove a motorbike all around Koh Samui Thailand to find a Christmas Tree. We had to buy one this year so that we would be a bit less homesick. Finding the perfect Christmas tree in Koh Samui Thailand is very important.

Everywhere you went was beautiful. I love that you guys got a tree. I also got so excited when I spotted a Family Mart. Had no idea they had those in Thailand. The tree also is so so cute.

haha yeah - the family mart bell when the door opens is such an iconic sound for me after spending so much time in Japan - it felt like home for a minute there. and thank you so much :)
Oh my gosh I loved this!!! Such a good idea to put it on the beach 😂 I'm so glad that y'all have each other (and your friends the one pack wanderers) to share Christmas with. Happy Holidays to you guys!

Found this video a couple days ago and it was such a help. We are full time traveling for a year with our kids, so a tree for Christmas is a must - your video saved us tons of time in our search around the island. Thank you!

I've never been to Thailand !! What a beautiful beach there you showed us !! Thai people are friendly & I love Thai foods ! 😋 Though I don't eat 'em as much as I used to ! They're either too spicy ,or too sweet !! Maybe different there !! Good to know ! Eating Thai foods on a beach in Thailand must be awesome !! What a cute dog you found there !! Is he/ she someone's ? I hope !! Do Thai celebrate X'mas ? Because the most Thai are Buddhist. Filipinos do as the most of them are Christians, I believe !! How's the covid restriction there !? I have been away from your & other's channels for a while again ! So good to see you both are doing well & staying healthy & all ! 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🌲🌲🌲💕🎁🎅🧑🎄💞

Hello Lisa and Josh, Wherever you are in the world, you have each other, great idea to bring “home” to your festive Christmas celebrations.🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲 ⭐️🌟✨⭐️🌟✨🎁💝🎁 Not sure how comfortable I would be riding the scooter, but it’s a great way to see things locally. Have a great Christmas and 2022, Merry Christmas from Australia 🇦🇺🤶🏼🧑🏼🎄

@@LisaAndJosh Really !? Maybe some !! But here in L.A./ O.C.all the Thai restaurants I've been to they use grated peanuts !! Not peanut butter !! Lol. But,comes to think ,maybe it was like that at American restaurants offered Phat Thai !!? I think I had one ,or two like that ,too !! Lol. But, I almost always go to Thai food restaurants owned / run by Thai people !! I prefer that way ! The same goes to Chinese ,or Japanese, Italian .I don't think those you've been going to aren't ,or are they Thai people operating them !? Is this the difference between here & there !!? 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🎄🎁💞
I don't know if you post this video much later but if you are still on the island... Please visit Lolamui Café, the owner (very sweet lady, U-pin, she used to date my little brother). I'm sending her a message right now, to give you both a free piece of cake and a drink each... Please don't break my bank. hahahaha
