- One correction: I misspoke when I said the weather prediction for March and April was  44 Celsius. What I meant to say was 34 Celsius. 
Before Gift & I went to spend a night in Hua Hin, we had a scheduled water outage in our village. Unfortunately, when the water came back on we had a problem and had to call a technician.

Please give to niece for clothes, fun, school supplies. I finally figured out how to do this! Love your channel.
It’s Ammie. Thank you so much ka, I ‘m very grateful .🙏🏻💖
This is Gift Ka, Thank you 🙏 so much for your kindness Ka😘. My family, my Joe and I are extremely grateful for your blessing to Ammie.
@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 You are all most welcome. I have watched since the beginning. I look forward to your videos. 3 years ago I planned to move to Hua Hin. Looked at condos and villas with Ms Jira. She has channel too. I sold everything in preparation to come to Thailand. Then I met my wife. That changed everything. For now we are her in the US, but I still hope to come to Thailand soon. I will be sending more gifts, as I strangely feel I am apart of your journey. Please keep making videos. I know it is a lot of work. Just know some of us kind of live out our dreams by watching you guys. We feel like we are along for the ride. Think of me as a family member you never met. lol.
🙏
Aaa... ❤ i thoroughly enjoy your videos . Great variety of Gift shopping & johnny/ Som.
Currently in Thailand, its flippin hot. thank you
Thank you 🙏
great video today. I didn't realize how the heat was such an issue; i thought it was only the humidity. What a super outdoor market on this one. hungry for German food now. love yas'...stay safe x o
Thank you 🙏. I made a correction to my comment in the description and pinned comment of this video. I misspoke and meant to say 34 Celsius. Sorry 😞
Hope all is well at the home front guys! Thanks for sharing this video 😊
All good 👍 Thank you 🙏
The tint will really cool down your house and you'll save on the electric bill.
Always something to fix if you own a home. On my second trip to the hardware store yesterday, the girl working there smiled and said; "Back again?"
I agree ☝️
Thanks for sharing your life with us blessings from North Texas ❤
Our pleasure.
Hua Hin has a lot to offer there in that town, it's a very nice town. And you meet up with Som, Jonny and Title, a good meet thee. That Celsius is 111, not a big deal. So enjoy your day there in PKK. and take care.
Thank you 🙏 I made a correction to my comment in the description and pinned comment of this video. I misspoke and meant to say 34 Celsius. Sorry 😞
That's okay Joey, I live in the desert, in 2+ months it will be 109 to 118 degrees summer time. No problem.
😳
Hello Joe and Gift! Your pool looks beautiful!❤ It's Tanya from the USA. I miss you guys! I'm so glad the home repair didn't cost a fortune.
Hi Tanya, Thank you 🙏 so much! Hopefully we will see you in Thailand again one day and we get to meet your husband this time.
Love Jonny 😁
🥰🙏
That’s one thing I loved in thiland &that’s the different fruit 🍉 sitting on the beach drinking from a fresh counting love jack fuit😊😊
That Market Village is a nice place, we enjoyed the food court in the basement
When you and Cecilia come visit, we will have to spend one night in Hua Hin.
That will work!@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774
Khun Gift does the best outros on UA-cam 🙏😊
Thank you 🙏.
Great show guy's. I still cant%et use to ketchup on pizza! 😅 Bless u and your family and as alway's stay cool 😎 kind and generous!
Thank you 🙏
Bake shop is yummy,,😊, glad all’s well with you guys..house stuff never ending, just part of the fun..😊
🙏
Thought be cheaper for the tint ,labor being cheaper but there many grades of tint ,and good tint will last and take the heat ' keep us updated thanks
Will do!
Must be the Rolls Royce version of tint as the price seemed high and will take 30 years to recoup the cost in energy savings perhaps! It's a bit like folk who get solar panels which also take at least 20 years to break even.
For us, it's more about privacy and keeping the hot sun from reflecting in, than it is about energy savings. Also, if we decide to add solar, it would be for us to have electricity in the event of any long term power outage, while reaping the benefits from any energy cost savings. Definitely not for everyone or in everyone's budget.
@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 I'm not having a go at you, just my observations:-) tint will definitely be nice to have and solar panels will be useful in areas with patchy electricity network so I say go for it!
No worries 😉 I didn’t take it as if you were. Just sharing my thoughts as to why we decided to go with the tint.
Great video! See you guys again soon 😊🙏
Thank you 🙏 mate. Looking forward to it.
We have th uv glass protector it’s great it’s ver cheep
Awesome!
Hi Joe...hope the bird repelent works. I resorted to putting plastic snakes on my AC units to keep the pigeons away! So far, they have not been back. A lot of pigeons up here in Suphanburi...haha
Thank you 🙏 I might buy some plastic snakes 🐍 myself.
Thanks for another good video guys! Cheers!
Thank you 🙏 so much for always watching.
Howdy Gift and Joe,so nice to see Jonny and family they look great,surely you should be compensated by the city as they turned off the water for half a day. It’s a crime having fruit on a pizza and then ketchup 🙄🤦🏾♂️😩🫨🤣
🤣😂
Thank you very much for sharing take care great video All the best
🙏
Hello mate it's Luke I just like to say from the outside looking in your relationship looks to be so harmonious and equal I really appreciate watching from afar
Thank you 🙏 so much!
555 on the needed receipt...that's life. UV tint is a great idea. Everything is minor...no sweat. My wife likes pizza too...covered with ketchup...yuk! Yep, 500 Baht is generous for the labor on that repair. It's good to be generous with the locals, especially those in the trades. Plus, I just like helping them out a little above and beyond their usual expectations.
😊
Joe, another great video, do you think you could do an update in the near future on your thoughts about the tint , has it made a big difference etc., I was considering doing it also ,.. thanks
Thank you 🙏. Will do!
You’re a very lucky man Joe that woman adores you and I can tell you adore her too, so what a great thing to happen for you
Thank you 🙏 I am a lucky man indeed to have Gift in my life.
Hello Joe and Gift, initially I thought the quote for the tint was a bit High, but you did say it was for ALL the windows so not so bad. I just got a quote here to replace the guttering with new technology PVC-type guttering for $5,000.00 😥. Great video I like the look of the schnitzel 😋😋😋 10 / 10 Keep Well, Stay Safe my friends.
It is for all the windows and doors and we got the highest quality.
They only cover the pump for 5 years the pressure switch only has a 1 year warranty.
Then I guess the receipt didn’t matter after all. 🤣
@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 correct and the pressure switch fails about every 2 years 🤣🤣
😆
Jonny's cholesterol jumped 100 pts after eating that.
LOL 😂
Yeah it was to much i couldn't finish it lol
Joe you should have gotten the Beast Burger!
It did look good but I’m trying to control myself. Lol 😂
Joe obviously the price for the tint throughout the house is a great deal ,but depending on its longevity and durability would it not be better for me to buy tinted windows and doors at a higher cost to be installed with a permanent durability when Ta and I build our house ? If you could ask JJ about the cost effectiveness of a " midrange UV quality permanent tinted glass" as opposed to Highest quality tint which has to be replaced every now and then ! I think your solution is obviously feasible but JJ would know what is the most economical in the long run ! 🤔 I'm sure you've done some research on this before you had the installers come to your house but maybe JJ through his experience in home construction could answer these questions for us " the Joe and Gift " fan club 😅. Seriously it would help me (us)a lot who plan to move/build in Thailand to get the onsite experience and info from you guys! Obviously this saves us time and $$ when preparing for when the construction phase begins. As always you've been a big help with information and we're gratefull , Thanks bruh !
We did buy the highest quality which has a minimum of ten years before having to be replaced. I believe to purchase UV tinted glass is extremely expensive but I will ask the gentleman that installed our windows.
@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 excellent 👍 . Wow 😮 ten year warranty ! Thanks man that's great and I appreciate your feedback !
🙏
Building shop out of wood. I think Jkj uses concrete and steel. The old method of wood is my preference. I wish you could see it. Three floors 300 sq meters using hardwood.
Teak wood is very expensive but if one can afford it, I’m sure it can be built.
Not teak. A variety of hardwoods
Ketchup on Pizza. Yuk. This must be why if you order pizza to go they give you like 50 packets of sauce!
I used to live 300m from Market Village. It's a good shopping mall, and often has something going on out front.
😊
Imagine 44C and no electricity. Hope the grid can handle it!
I made a correction to my comment in the description and pinned comment of this video. I misspoke and meant to say 34 Celsius. Sorry 😞
Wow, that video title sounded like trouble! But all the house had was a small cough.555
😊
Come one Joe try some Durian lol.
LOL 😂 I’ve had Durian once before. Actually it’s not bad, but not something I desire.
Gift, no one I mean no one puts ketchup on pizzas. 😀 good to Jonny and Som. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
😁🤣
I don't get the ketchup on pizza thing; my wife does it also. I'm taking her to Texas this summer; we'll see what kind of crazy stuff she does with the food there.
😊😝
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏 so much greatly appreciated.
Whe you built the house, was there a discussion for tint on the windows from the supplier?
No because at that time, I did not think that I wanted tint.
Happy to see the happy dance.....
Thank you 🙏
if someone ordered a Hawaiin pizza in Hoboken and then....put ketchup on it....they would be thrown out !!...hahahah
I told Gift the same thing. I told her not to ask for ketchup when we are in Italy 😊
Gift, you need to teach Joe how to do that dance. That would be funny to watch.
🤣
OMG. You should see my face right now after watching her put ketchup on that slice. Blasphemy isn't even the word. Do that in Jersey and you're sure to get whacked!😂
🤣😊
@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 Hahaha! When's the last time you were in NJ?
2013
1750 for you house windows? Hmmm, I just paid 1000 baht for tint on 1 (yes 1 single) rear window on my Mazda. I think I got ripped off?!
$1,750
I’ve always wondered if Thai eateries ever use available water buffalo for beef supply or is it always Australian beef.
Most Thai restaurants don’t serve beef and if they do it is more than likely Thai beef unless specified on the menu. Most restaurants that cater to foreigners serve Australian or New Zealand beef and in some cases US beef. It will always say on the menu which beef is available.
My wife always puts ketchup on pizza🤷♂️
😊😝
44 degrees , coming from Canada , is about the temperature of the sun 😂
I made a correction to my comment in the description and pinned comment of this video. I misspoke and meant to say 34 Celsius. Sorry 😞
Ohh don’t be sorry!! I know temps in Thailand in summer can get up to easily 41 on the norm , so no need to apologize haha 34 with humidex will still be around 38..so your not far off hahah stay cool in your pool!!
🙏
😊❤
Ketchup on pizza. My Thai wifw does thw same thing. Gross!
🤣
Hi Gift, Joe...and Johnny with kid and his "new" ( ;-) ) girlfriend. Maybe I must not be joking about hairs....because they left me long time ago.
😊
👍🙂
🙏
Hi, how much was your price for the window tinting? It sounded high.
We are purchasing the highest quality UV Tint as there are many options to choose from. The tint we choose has a 10 year warranty. Our 4 doors alone will require between 6-8 meters of tint each. We also have 8 large windows. We did our homework and compared prices and the quote we received is the average price.
@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 I'm sure that you did your homework. 😁 What was the average per square meter?
$14 USD which includes window cleaning, tint and installation. US average price is $50 SQM.
44 Celsius equals about 111 Fahrenheit. That will be brutal with the Thailand humidity. I think I'll save my trip back until closer till fall. Take care.

@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 That sounds much better, 111 and 100% humidity would be deadly. The window film will definitely be more comfortable and preserve the interior items from the sun. Many people just use blackout curtains but that feels so closed in. Take care.
I agree ☝️
Traditional Pizza’s use tomato sauce or tomato paste as a base before the layers. It’s not unusual to dab more on the top of an Hawaiian pizza or similar..
Gift eats chilly and other godforsaken Thai food but you’re repulsed at tomato sauce ? Seafood on a pizza, now that’s something I don’t quite understand and cannot stomach.
Onto the window tint - ever think of using car tint ? It’s UV protected and a heck of a lot cheaper than what you’ve been quoted.. 200baht a window about the right price.
Re: labor cost - just remember, industrial labor laws for Thailand have wages to be officially 500baht a DAY but don’t expect any local to pay another Thai that, moreso 300baht.m per day. For the most part, they’re untrained and unqualified so you just may be disadvantaging the next foreigner with a higher than average bill because you paid them far more than their actual worth for the job.
These sorts of repairs are something you should be doing as there will come a time others won’t be able to bail you out and you’ll be stuck as you wait for someone to come sort out easy fixes. Pump repairs are easy that take little to know expertise in resolving issues or swapping a switch out.

When push comes to shove I can figure out things on my own. For now, as long as I have the option, I will have someone do the work for me.
How is the heck do you people not gain weight? Is there some new carb they invented in Thailand?
I’m gaining and Gift is still the same. I don’t how she does it either 😊
