I'm in Portugal - it's probably less chaotic than Thailand! Our new home is much better than the UK, for us. Friendlier people, more things to do, we enjoy learning the language and new culture. Weather is another consideration for us, the hikes through nature are outstanding and having dolphins in their natural habitat within a few miles from us is a bonus. I couldn't think of any reason to return to the UK - even for a short trip. Glad you're both having a great trip.

Great video James. Personally, I am more Lidl than Waitrose due to the cost difference but both have their pros and cons 👍 All the people who are anti- unisex toilets should probably give a visit to Scandinavia a miss in that case.

The price of things nowadays I'll certainly be popping into lidl's more lol. Men tend to hit the target a bit more in their own homes. Couple of guys followed Annie into the communal unisex toilets (changed recently from single sex) at Lyme Regis. I wasn't happy about it, found myself loitering by the sinks scaring a couple of women in the process who also didn't look too happy about it, but I was just looking out for Annie. No urinals so toilets were like shower rooms, certainly wouldn't sit down on them. Why change for the worse. All the best.👍🍺

Nice Video James Thanks! Couple of Q's if I may.....I am curious does Annie have any desire to live full time in the UK or any country other than Thailand? I think you nailed it when you said all very nice but boring. My wife & I agree! Having lived in CM & now back in Hawaii we talk daily about just moving back. Also your mom is so sweet & lovely. Does she have family there to keep her company when your gone? Does she ever consider also moving to Thailand? Thanks again for a great video!

Annie seems​ a little​ bit more fluid in Thailand​ than​ over in the​ U.K.. That's​ no surprise, given the west, people​ are less reserved, and that has often caught my Thai student peers off-guard. That was my personal​ experience​ in a​ US college. It turned out they then were a lot quieter in class, and I also got question​s from American ​friends​ about the​ behavioral difference. I just tell them we've got cultural nuances specific to us Thais. Waitrose is so clean. Isles are huge compare​d to the supermarket​s here in BKK. And you're right, everyone working in Waitrose are polite. A smile a day keeps us healthy for sure 😊.
