the part when she talked about her past relationship, you could still see the sadness in her eyes, but when she turned the page & talked about her journey, you could see how happy her face turned to be. Life is full of opportunities & sparkles. Thanks for your story
The character of a man is what will move a woman's heart. It's not just the financial. Lilly is perfect example. Thank you for sharing your story, Lilly!
The biggest lesson here is sometimes it takes one to travel halfway aroound the world to find someone who truly appreciates! Congrats for finding yours. You truly deserve the happiness after helping the blind in Vietnam. May your channel continue to be successful onwards.
Lilly proved that Love has no barriers. When she said they were staring at each other for 30 mins, there was something that pulled them together and that energy is called Love❤💗💗💗. dude came in at the right moment. its really perfect timing! Lilly is truly beautiful inside out!
❤️ when you talked about how he made you feel like a queen. I now know I shouldn’t settle until I find someone who makes me feel the same way 🤗 thank you for sharing!
I don't know how UA-cam's algorithm brought me to your channel but glad to be here. It amazes me how brave you are, leaving everything behind to follow your heart. what a beautiful story!!
What an amazing evolution. I've was told how the Asian woman are dedicated to their husband and kids and how Asian men assist their wives with chores etc. Being single for 12 years now, it actually petrifies me to think of another relationship. This clip is very encouraging and it has installed some hope in me. Lets pray i will nurture this hope and become more confident of entering into a brand new relationship. Thank you kindly Lilly🤗
The fact you got all sweaty and smiley talking about how you met your husband is adorable! I’m still like that with my husband 11 years after we met, I hope it lasts forever 🥰
Most humbling story coming from a humble person who had everything tailor-made life and yet gave up all for true love. Age, race, wealth, look was not even in your book. That’s truly a humble and down to earth person. Salute to you Lilly!!
i totally agreed. hard to find a proper people out there now. Gald to see her happy with her family. at the end, aren't we all humans who need true love.
I don’t know how the algorithm brought me here and I have no idea how I got so invested in your story but I was so entertained and inspired. I love your journey and I wish you the best and happiest life! Congrats to you and your family!!! 😍
@@arnicepernice8656 are you seriously being racist. this is racism in your comment. racism is judging based on skin color. you don't know another's story or struggles.
Hi Lilly, my sister sent me this video because my wife is also caucasian. She said i have to watch your story. Your story is so amazing to hear because of how it came to be. Im glad you’re so happy with your new chapter as am I. My wife and i are having triplets and i am very excited to meet my half Filipino/Caucasian boys. Pls keep the videos coming. Would love to see more! 🙏🏼
Oh goodness, I just stumbled upon your channel and had no idea you owned Coquette! My husband and I lived in NOLA while he was in graduate school at Tulane, oldest born at Touro and youngest just finished up in 2019 at Tulane. Needless to say, I’ve spent quite a bit of time in NOLA and your restaurant was our absolute favorite! I’m so happy that your story had a happy ending for you and I wish you and your family continued happiness! GOD Bless you and yours.
Its beautiful to see someone so happy and that your family approve your choice. My family unfortunately would have disowned me due to their prejudice. Your children are absolutely gorgeous. I would love to visit Thailand one day.
All it matters is that he treats you well and makes you feel treated as you described. You are a beautiful family. Thank for sharing your experience with so much sincerity.
I fell in love in Balinese man, we worked together on a cruise ship, got to Bali to visit him, fell in love in Bali and we got married, now its us plus two, our kids Mila and David. I would have never imagined that I would live in Bali, but here I am💙💜
The male islanders no matter where on earth must have something unique yet in common. Perhaps the sun, sand and sea make them more amazingly different somehow. Or it's just simply a coincidence?
@@terriode They're mostly chill. In a stress-filled, rat race of a world, islanders and their very relaxed yet adventure-filled life/demeanor are a breath of fresh air ;)
@@fredtacang3624 I would have to agree, actually the whole stress free lifestyle of all people in Bali got me to fell in love not just in my husband but all balinese people and this island 🥰
I got a bit emotional with your story. It made me think back about my own story :) Sometimes you meet the perfect person in the most unusual place and they show you what you had been missing all along that you didn't even know you lacked. He surely sounds wonderful. And your mom is awesome. You need to have her in your channel. I love that she has been so supportive of you.
living in Asia, each day is like an adventure. Living in the US, each day is routine. I've should've stayed in Asia. Congrats on your successful life change.
Disagree. There are so many adventures to be had in the USA. It's all in the mindset. Anyplace can just become a routine. America is a wonderful country, with wonderful people, and places.
For Westerners, life in SE Asia is interesting and adventurous because it's new, different and almost opposite to the typical life in the US. The locals there are also fond of Westerners. However, if you asked 1st generation Asian-Americans who grew up there part of their early lives and came to the US and finished their formative years, I think "most" would say that SE Asia is fun for a vacation but to live there is another thing. At least that's the case with me, my relatives and friends, which are Cambodian, Thai and Vietnamese. All of us have the financial means to live in SE Asia very comfortably. The majority who do go back to live there permanently are retirees of the older generation. Life in the economic powerhouse that is the US is just too impersonal for old age. I have relatives in SE Asia who'd love for me to come back and live there. I've been visiting every 2-3 years for almost 20 years. The first few times were very nice when I traveled and saw all the places I wanted to see. The nostalgia I felt when meeting relatives/friends from my childhood days was emotionally satisfying. Later it became boring because you can't keep talking about what you did when you were 10. After a while, you realize your interests and theirs are totally different but I still go because it's family. For them, they dream of coming to the US. I also agree with the comments that life in the US is routine. But if I had the freedom to wander, most of my time would be spent in the western states of the US, western Canada, Alaska and Hawaii. I just love the geological diversity these places have to offer. After N. America is Europe with so much old human history still preserved among modernity. And lastly, some parts of Central and South America. Adventure, love and purpose of life are really personal. You go where your soul gravitates and your mind find interesting. If a place makes you happy, that's where you belong. For Lilly, I can see/feel the happiness she is emoting. It's really beautiful! With her blue eyes, pretty smile and business mind, she's gold. The bi-racial children will be adored by both families and both cultures. I know because I have Euro-Asians in my family and they seem to be the center of attention most of their lives. Finding yourself isn't easy. Being poor is hard but money doesn't necessarily make you rich. Enjoyed your vlogs. Best of luck with your baby!
This was a really great story. Love "normal" expats who hang out with locals vs the various "stereotypes" of expats. We need more expat vloggers like this.
Thank you so much for sharing ! I am a girl from Singapore. I understand how you feel because i married a man from another country Malaysia ..He treated me preciously too, unlike men from my own country Singapore, who are mostly cold and uncaring. I feel happy for you that you found happiness in Thailand. All the best! Stay safe! 😀
You are this generation's Eat Pray Love story and it is a good one. Opening your heart to what is before you takes so much courage and you have shown that, therefore the love you receive in return will always be strong. Love this story:)
Lily, I cried as I started listening to your life story from the beginning to the end - how you were soul-searching and the courage you've made. Thank you for your honesty and congratulations.
I'm so happy you had a supportive mom and still do. It was great she told you to go back to Wat. Clearly you both fell in love and how wonderful. Now you have 3 beautiful children. It's remarkable where life takes us some times isn't it.
Love your testimony about how you met your husband and your entrepreneurial & adventurous spirit. You captured my curiosity - an expat in Thailand. I’m selling my business. I need to make a transition. Thank you for your inspiration. God bless! ✨
It’s the little things that count. Congratulations! So many people live a whole life thinking material things is what fills your soul. Glad you found out early that it’s not.
@@indimist390 I feel like they are. After I met mine, I learned that there are certain events in your life that are pre-planned. I feel like everyone has one and they will meet theres. The only tragedy is that life is fleeting and you may not always get to be with them. My mother met hers when she was 21 and they had a baby, they separated after and they reunited when she was 57.
Miss Valencia, yes it is true, someone say get along without you now, I hope don't mind, this is only quite popular song name of the late 1960's, try to search (you - tube) name of the singer -> Skeeter Davies, but she has already pass away long time ago, that's all from me in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Thanks.
Gosh, you're so trusting. I'm so happy this worked out. I really want to visit Thailand soon and I'm so glad I found your channel. Where I live, I'm too afraid of everyone and everything and I'm ready for peace.
God never ‘makes anybody’ plan. Every man has their own free will and we choose to do what we choose so ourselves. He does have a plan for each one of us, to do us all good and never to harm. To give us hope and thriving future- no matter what ❤️
You're truly an inspiration! You're beautiful inside out and I can tell that your husband is too. I just found out about your channel and I have been watching atleast 10 videos today. I am myself born in Thailand but now lives in Sweden and watching your videos gives me comfort because I do really miss Thailand
You're really lucky to have such supportive mother. Unfortunately some parents would talk their children out of moving to another country because they want their children always to stay chained and near by. But your mother is different. For her your happiness is more important than living together in one city 🙂
All mother's should be supportive. Sorry, all parents should be supportive it's normal. I definitely am supportive of whatever my son WANTS TO do, as it's his life to live not mine. I guide him and he listens sometimes, other times he has better ideas. We learn off People everyday. They could be children, TEENAGERS, older grandma's, uncles. We all LEARN from EACH other.
Brothers or sisters, the kingdom of GOD is near, we need to repent and believe in Jesus Christ, so that our sins can be forgiven, and we can have eternal life. If we don't believe in Jesus, we will die in our own sins. Lying, Stealing, murders, evil heart, revellings, hatred, emulations, arrogant, strife, Envyings, commit adultery, seditions, bad words, porn, didn't honour father and mother, worship idol, homosexual, fortune teller, black magic, blasphemed GOD, claiming self to be GOD, calling a man as GOD, worship things made of gold, silver, wood, stone or other materials, worship animal as GOD, against GOD, did not want to repent and believe in JESUS, take the name of GOD/JESUS in vain and other evils things, these all are sins. If we did 1 of these things before, it makes us sinner. If we continue to do these things or sinning, we will die in our own sins.We need to repent through Jesus, to make our relationship with GOD good again, because There will be a judgement day 1 day, The people who believe in Jesus Christ and follow his commands will enter the kingdom of GOD, but the people who don't believe in Jesus and done evil/bad things/sinners will enter Hell. Only Jesus can give you joy and real peace in your heart, only Jesus can forgive your sins, only Jesus can lead you to be a righteous man. No other name except JESUS can save your soul and lead you to heaven. This is about our eternal life and eternal death, so believe in Jesus and repent(Confess to GOD that we're sinner, stop sinning and follow Jesus teaching), to save our own soul and life. Repent, and be baptized every one of us in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and we shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit/Ghost will guide us on how to become a righteous man, live and work according to GOD's will. Lord Jesus said: luke6: 37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: You can read BIBLE online by searching it on google, you can start read from the book of JOHN. You can learn Jesus teaching from there.Or here's one: www.esv.org/John+1/ If you have any stress, problem in your life, you can pray to Jesus and ask for His help, Jesus will listen to your prayer. GOD is our Father, He is the ONE who made us and everything in this world. It's time for us to return to Him and acknowledge Him as our Father through Jesus Christ. Wake up people, return to your only ONE Almighty GOD and Father.
Her Mom sounds pretty cool. I can imagine a lot of Western mothers of a certain age might have a problem with their daughter marrying a Thai man and moving abroad.
Hi Lilly. You may not read my comment since it’s been two years since this video was posted. I have never fallen in love with any video on UA-cam until today. Such a simple video but so beautiful. Your beautiful and pure heart radiates throughout this video. I wish you and Watt God’s best. And may your family continue grow and flourish.
The happiness you got in taking a leap of faith in a new journey, some people spend their lifetime searching and still haven't found it. GOD bless you and your family.
What a beautiful story! I have a Thai husband as well, but he was born and raised in the USA. We now live in Thailand, since 2013. He too is the sweetest kindest gentleman one could ever know. Bless you in your life together!
I m thai woman and my husband is thai men he is a good man Some Thai men are good, some are not. It depends on what kind of people you will meet. Some Thai women want to have a husband as a foreign man. Such as American men or westerner. because Thai girl think that American men and westerner are handsome. Congratulations to you And welcome to Thailand
I'm inspired by your sense of sdventure and courageousness. It's priceless to be treated like a queen by a man.Wishing you continued success, good health and happiness.
sometimes as a man you have to take a chance. a lot of people are gonna think she's way out of his league and that may be the case but he took the chance to go up to her and ask her out and the odds came in his favor. like the World Series of poker sometimes you gotta put all your chips in the middle and let the cards ride. props to homeboy for taking a chance.
I was head over heels for this one guy based on his physical features but then when we connected it went down south fast because the chemistry wasn't there and the less we connected the less he became unattractive not because he wasn't handsome but because there wasn't chemistry. What I'm trying to say is looks can only go so far because at the end of the day you want someone that truly cares about you, someone you can have deep conversations with and so on. Fast forward to now I've been seeing a guy for six months and the chemistry is definitely there and the more I got to know him the more handsome he became to me. Lol
I think women get to a point in life, especially when they've been treated poorly in previous relationships when you realise that if you've met a good man so you should just go for it and not be worried about it meeting "conventional standards" (whatever that means). A kind heart, honest & caring man is more attractive than anything. Good luck to them both!
@@VitaBySam I agree and I can relate to your comment. Many years ago, as a young 20-year old, naive girl, I fell in love head over heels, with an extremely handsome European man. After a short courtship, we got married and I left my family, friends, and country to go to Europe and live with him. I was swept away by his good looks but what a big mistake because the next 10 years were a living hell. As handsome as he was on the outside, he was the ugliest and most horrible human being on the inside. Eventually, with the support of my family back in the US, I gathered up enough courage to leave him and came back home. As the plane took off, I felt like I had been liberated from a monster👺. After being treated so poorly, I swore I would NEVER put myself in a similar situation by making bad choices. I remained single until my mid-fifties until I met the nicest, most caring, humble human being I had ever met. He was older than me and came into our marriage with very little to offer except his love and endless devotion. For the first time in my life, my days were filled with joy and laughter. Sadly, after 12 years of happiness, he passed away from complications due to Alzheimer's. Young people take note, regardless of good looks or material things, it's the inner beauty in a person that counts and that is Priceless ❤.
Hello Lilly, I was just about to hit the sack. When I saw this video from the corner of my eye. HOW I MET MY THAI HUSBAND. So I decided to stay up for a little while and watch. You have a beautiful personality and very photogenic looks. Listening to you , you said you were blessed. I saw that the first time I saw your videos, and now I can say, I am all shook up. I think the better way, I could say is I am all hooked up. I recently saw your video of Luke's 5th birthday, and you looked so happy, which made me happy too. You deserve all the happiness that you can breathe now. With a great man in your life, and 3 gorgeous kids. Who could ask for anything more. You also have a great nanny, that cares about you and your family. I want you to be the happiest woman on this planet, and you rightly deserve it. Take care, and keep smiling. God Bless.
Love how your smile gets wider and wider as you progress in your story It showed that when you were living back in the States you were not that happy But when you met your current husband you started smiling and blushing That was pure happiness ❤️ Wish you guys lots of love and stay strong and healthy during this pandemic
I've just watched about 4 or 5 of your posts. Very interesting to hear stories from a female expat. I'm an Asian American from Hawaii (so I like your restaurant's name) living in Samut Prakan since 2012 with my Thai wife. Impressive that your mother was so encouraging for you to make such a major change in your life. I just added your channel to my short list of subscriptions. Keep up the great work and congratulations on your growing family!
Brian Ching I’m very blessed that my Mom was supportive of me moving to Thailand. Thank you for watching our videos! If you are ever in Samui come and see us at our restaurant. Blessings from Samui🙏
@@lillyslife We'll resume supporting domestic travel soon, when the Thai government opens up on restrictions (Hopefully 6/30). Lilikoi Bistro would definitely be on our list if we visit Koh Samui! Hope your re-opening and revamped menu go well for you!
You are an amazing woman. I'm so encouraged by your video. I lived 7 years in SE Asia and absolutely loved it. I would probably still be living over there but after the Umbrella Revolution I needed to come home. Thank you for sharing your life. Your kids are beautiful.
huge respect for doing all those big steps in your life. you had a restaurant and a relationship and still managed to completely start over again with so many ideas, even though you had to close it all. I wish you the best of luck in your future!! such a wonderful person you are! lucky thai man :)♥
In April of 2019 I came to Thailand to experience the water festival. And walking around in Pattaya I sat down in this bar and there was this Thai woman who was limping, and she took care of the paperwork and made sure everyone got their drinks. And there was something I just liked about watching her do her job. We begin to talk and it wasn't long before we just started spending a lot of time together. When she was 21 she had a terrible motorbike accident and pretty much lost the use of her leg. I came back for 2 months Sept & Oct and we spent every day together when she wasn't working. Then the pandemic came and we have been apart since. She lost her job and went back to her family's home. It's very hard for her to find work. No one wants to hire a disabled person. But I'm hoping soon to come back to Thailand around Oct. and spend more time with her,,,,,,,,Thai people just have a wonderful outlook on life. Thailand can change your life,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
you re look so beautiful. Glad that you can set up family in Thailand with a good Thai guy. He is look a family man also. Sincerely welcome. I will follow you this channel.
Water festival is called Song Kran and it is a Thai New Year. They pour water onto you to wish you happines and good health. They have many intersting festivals like a candle and flower festival called Loi Krathong. You can see on my channel
When you found the right person dont lose them. Money is not everything in life .. im sure you know.. ❤️ thank you for love Thailand land . You sacrificed a lot!
Wow what an amazing story and journey! I also had my eyes opened when I visited the Philippines back in 2005 and 2006 and it was an eye opener. I have never seen such poverty and it looked like a war zone but like you said the people were happy and what shocked me was they were happier than people in the US and some were homeless street kids. Ever since then I wanted to go back and help the people somehow and Lilly your journey gave me a renewed inspiration. I truly hope someday I can live my dream of helping the people of the Philippines as they are truly wonderful people similar to the Thai people. Thank you for sharing your story because it has inspired me!
Not all Thais and Filippinos are poor.. there are the super rich too and the middle class. In the US too there are poor . Some SE,Asian countries however are better off like Singapore. The Crazy Rich Asians. Funny you mentioned not seeing such poverty till you went to Philippines because as a Singaporean I was shocked by the poverty I saw in the US.
Lilly, thank you for sharing your story with us. You have such a beautiful and loving family. Have been binging your videos, and I can feel the love between you and Wat. And your boys are gorgeous and adorable.
I loved watching your love story,I'm a 48yr old Irish guy ,I dream of a scenario like yours,I chatted for a year online with a Thai lady and went to meet her but we didn't really connect but was a wonderful experience,I plan to return one day soon,maybe I will find my princess on the beach,I'm keeping an open mind......so happy for you and your husband,and a little envious but it's nice to see a happy ending.....peace and blessings from the emerald Isle
Awesome story. I love Thailand and i go there every year. It is very rare to see caucasian woman with Thai man- and this is awesome that you found him there.
I look at successful people in life and they all have things in common such as taking chances, I mean HUGE chances, not being afraid to try things. Just based on this short 10 min video I can tell this lady is a business woman and a hustler which also means at one point things work out by themselves because of all the time and energy were invested in life.
I was like you back in 2019. Like I was so sick and mentally checked out of the busy life in America. I packed up and went back to the homeland. I felt to refreshed. I want to move home and start a simple life, but I don’t have the guts to. You inspired me! Maybe I’ll do it this time🤞🏽🤞🏽 love your channel!
that was an interesting, beautiful and wonderful story Lilly!! we Filipinos are also excited when we develop a relationship with foreigners and we want to share it right away with our family and friends. Congratulations on your new chapter and life there in Thailand with your family. best wishes and take care always!! greetings from California😊
Thank you Lilly for sharing your life experience and I am so happy for you, Wat and Luke. My relationship here in the US is similar to yours. I was married for 25 years and ended 2004. I started my own business and was successful but I am not happy I am still single. I have been in Thailand before when I was in the US Marine and I loved it. I said to myself that I would return to Thailand some day. I sold my business in June 2019 and I was planning to Expat to Thailand just like you. Then of course the pandemic occurred and I wasn't able to visit. I am a truly fan of your channel and would just love to meet you and your family just to say Hi! Take care and hopefully meet you someday in Thailand. Franco
I just love watching your channel Lily ....praise GOD that even though you're married to a Buddhist you also reach out to others as well as to Namm ( your loving nanny to LUKE , LEON , and LILA ) and share your Christian faith to them ...I am touch that you've been a very good witness to Wat and his family and share with them the way ,truth and life of YESHUA ( Jesus ) ...thank you for sharing your life and what a great testimony you've been ...the LORD GOD bless you and make HIS Face shine upon you ...and bless you with shalom.( peace ) ...
Wow, Lily... had tears (admiring tears) as I was reading and listening to your story...Best wishes to you and your Hubby. I truly admire your story.....
This is such a lovely story! And it really shows that love has no boundaries. And love that you chose to experience Vietnam and stay in Thailand. Sending love from Finland!
GO GIRL GO GREAT STORY I MET A THAI GRIL MARRYED HER LOST HER TO CANCER BUT WE HAVE A DAUGHTER HAVE LIVED HERE IN THAILAND ABOUT 18 YEARS WOULD NEVER GO BACK TO AUSTRALIA MY DAUGHTER WORKS IN A THAI CONSUL SHE IS A LEVEL 7 LOVE THE PLACE THE THAI PEOPLE ALL TREAT YOU VERY GOOD IF YOU TREAT THEM WITH RESPECT GOOD LUCK
Thats awesome! I met my Thai wife in Samui as well. My old stomping grounds was in Lamai at Swing bar and rich resort, wish I could go back. Waiting for Covid to scram. Its amazing to hear your story and see how it compares to mine. Now my wife came back to Canada and we have a 1 year old son. Been together 4 years.
I'm glad that you have a good story for you. I met a lovely Thai person in the U.K. and we loved together and moved toward making a decent life. It ended in dreadful tragedy.
Nice story. You seem very happy and energetic and learned to let your intuition lead you or go with your instincts. I'm in my 70's and am still working on that lesson.
Your story put tears in my eyes, I can feel the pure love telling your story. I am from Philippines originally and I am married to an English man, living here in England and married for 13 yrs.
I have watched several videos from your channel. He is very quiet, gentle and kind while you are beautiful and lively. And your sons are adorable. A very lovely family.
Life is so unexpected isn’t it? I met my fiancé in Bangkok when I wasn’t looking. Now she is planning to move here while I contemplate to move there eventually. I hope to meet you guys at some point when I visit in the future.
I had so much fun watching your other videos I had to search for your love story on your channel. It was worth it. So much fun! Wish you the best of luck and hope that you and your family are always happy Lilly! Your mom is so awesome!
Being exposed to Asian culture really makes you appreciate the small things, the people and good life. Thailand is definitely in our bucket list. Hopefully u get to visit the Philippines too ❤️
I really want to see more of Asia now that i am 46. I have been to Europe but the people in Thailand were so nice and friendlier. I loved my 10 days in Phuket

Life is full of opportunities & sparkles. Thanks for your story
God bless you
Yups that true 🖐🏻👍🏻
I r so beautiful.u can find a better n handsome husband.
You are fine
The sparkles in her eyes and the blushed cheek 😘
The character of a man is what will move a woman's heart. It's not just the financial. Lilly is perfect example. Thank you for sharing your story, Lilly!
Can't agree more! This is exactly what I am going through! Fat bank balance, no character! Miserable and selfish.
Perfect example stand for nothing , fall for anything. Will end in tragedy. Maybee when she leaves Thailand she can find a nice black man to abuse her
@@vasanthajennings8653 Guess he's doesn't share his fat bank balance, huh
@@sbshaunb95 No way!
that's a great observation and knowledge. you are absolutely right.
Honestly your moms the real hero here! Moms hardly tell their daughters to pack up and move across the world for a man! Good for you!!!!
I can't express how happy it makes me that people like you exist in this world. Your curiosity and self awareness are inspiring.
J R, you worded my thoughts exactly! I was searching my brain for words... BeaUUUTiful comment!
If your husband gives you unconditional love like that ... you are blessed !
Agree with you
The biggest lesson here is sometimes it takes one to travel halfway aroound the world to find someone who truly appreciates! Congrats for finding yours. You truly deserve the happiness after helping the blind in Vietnam. May your channel continue to be successful onwards.
Your mom is so supportive. Also, I've been smiling the whole time you've been talking about you and Watt.
Lilly proved that Love has no barriers. When she said they were staring at each other for 30 mins, there was something that pulled them together and that energy is called Love❤💗💗💗. dude came in at the right moment. its really perfect timing! Lilly is truly beautiful inside out!

Same with me, nice sharing!
Same here😁
What an amazing evolution.

Lets pray i will nurture this hope and become more confident of entering into a brand new relationship.
Thank you kindly Lilly🤗
need to start traveling now, to find one 🙂
Asian men do not assist their wives with chores typically. Wat is the exception.
Don’t trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.
@@Chinchinta
Good luck!
Problem with many western women is they expect everything from the man but give little in return.
The fact you got all sweaty and smiley talking about how you met your husband is adorable! I’m still like that with my husband 11 years after we met, I hope it lasts forever 🥰
He’s lucky. Wish I had that
Most humbling story coming from a humble person who had everything tailor-made life and yet gave up all for true love. Age, race, wealth, look was not even in your book. That’s truly a humble and down to earth person. Salute to you Lilly!!
Wow thank you so much for your kind words Mike. I really appreciate it. Many blessings from Koh Samui!
i totally agreed. hard to find a proper people out there now. Gald to see her happy with her family. at the end, aren't we all humans who need true love.
@@UplifterMan Why not. And I couldn't agree more with Mike's retrospect.
I don’t know how the algorithm brought me here and I have no idea how I got so invested in your story but I was so entertained and inspired. I love your journey and I wish you the best and happiest life! Congrats to you and your family!!! 😍

Another white privilege story
Same here Jon. This kept popping up in my feed, so I just now decided to click and see what it's about.
Me too! This just came up in my feed! Was that Chef Anthony Bourdain standing next to the lady? So sad how his life ended...

@@vetgmacatmomfl2055 it’s about rescuing a person of colour…..is that right.
Hi Lilly, my sister sent me this video because my wife is also caucasian. She said i have to watch your story. Your story is so amazing to hear because of how it came to be. Im glad you’re so happy with your new chapter as am I. My wife and i are having triplets and i am very excited to meet my half Filipino/Caucasian boys. Pls keep the videos coming. Would love to see more! 🙏🏼
I like how your mom is supportive of you living abroad.
Oh goodness, I just stumbled upon your channel and had no idea you owned Coquette! My husband and I lived in NOLA while he was in graduate school at Tulane, oldest born at Touro and youngest just finished up in 2019 at Tulane. Needless to say, I’ve spent quite a bit of time in NOLA and your restaurant was our absolute favorite! I’m so happy that your story had a happy ending for you and I wish you and your family continued happiness! GOD Bless you and yours.
Thank you for embracing the Vietnamese, Asian culture with such class and grace!
Right? That was very refreshing! I love this love story it makes me feel like there is hope for everyone.

I want to marry an Asian man.

Its beautiful to see someone so happy and that your family approve your choice. My family unfortunately would have disowned me due to their prejudice. Your children are absolutely gorgeous. I would love to visit Thailand one day.
The way her husband look at her is wonderful.
Full of love .
Very happy for both of you and your gorgeous children 💞
The Beautiful Life'! 💕🇺🇸
All it matters is that he treats you well and makes you feel treated as you described. You are a beautiful family. Thank for sharing your experience with so much sincerity.
I fell in love in Balinese man, we worked together on a cruise ship, got to Bali to visit him, fell in love in Bali and we got married, now its us plus two, our kids Mila and David. I would have never imagined that I would live in Bali, but here I am💙💜
I love Bali! Hope to go back one day :-)
@@lillyslife same here, hope to visit Thailand one day💜
The male islanders no matter where on earth must have something unique yet in common. Perhaps the sun, sand and sea make them more amazingly different somehow. Or it's just simply a coincidence?
@@terriode
They're mostly chill. In a stress-filled, rat race of a world, islanders and their very relaxed yet adventure-filled life/demeanor are a breath of fresh air ;)
@@fredtacang3624 I would have to agree, actually the whole stress free lifestyle of all people in Bali got me to fell in love not just in my husband but all balinese people and this island 🥰
I got a bit emotional with your story. It made me think back about my own story :) Sometimes you meet the perfect person in the most unusual place and they show you what you had been missing all along that you didn't even know you lacked.
He surely sounds wonderful.
And your mom is awesome. You need to have her in your channel. I love that she has been so supportive of you.
living in Asia, each day is like an adventure. Living in the US, each day is routine. I've should've stayed in Asia. Congrats on your successful life change.
grass is always greener
Yes. You are Exactly Right.
I thought I'm the only one feeling that way.
Life in US is Sucks, even you got Most of Everything. Still Sad Life
Disagree. There are so many adventures to be had in the USA. It's all in the mindset. Anyplace can just become a routine. America is a wonderful country, with wonderful people, and places.
For Westerners, life in SE Asia is interesting and adventurous because it's new, different and almost opposite to the typical life in the US. The locals there are also fond of Westerners. However, if you asked 1st generation Asian-Americans who grew up there part of their early lives and came to the US and finished their formative years, I think "most" would say that SE Asia is fun for a vacation but to live there is another thing. At least that's the case with me, my relatives and friends, which are Cambodian, Thai and Vietnamese. All of us have the financial means to live in SE Asia very comfortably. The majority who do go back to live there permanently are retirees of the older generation. Life in the economic powerhouse that is the US is just too impersonal for old age.
I have relatives in SE Asia who'd love for me to come back and live there. I've been visiting every 2-3 years for almost 20 years. The first few times were very nice when I traveled and saw all the places I wanted to see. The nostalgia I felt when meeting relatives/friends from my childhood days was emotionally satisfying. Later it became boring because you can't keep talking about what you did when you were 10. After a while, you realize your interests and theirs are totally different but I still go because it's family. For them, they dream of coming to the US.
I also agree with the comments that life in the US is routine. But if I had the freedom to wander, most of my time would be spent in the western states of the US, western Canada, Alaska and Hawaii. I just love the geological diversity these places have to offer. After N. America is Europe with so much old human history still preserved among modernity. And lastly, some parts of Central and South America.
Adventure, love and purpose of life are really personal. You go where your soul gravitates and your mind find interesting. If a place makes you happy, that's where you belong. For Lilly, I can see/feel the happiness she is emoting. It's really beautiful! With her blue eyes, pretty smile and business mind, she's gold. The bi-racial children will be adored by both families and both cultures. I know because I have Euro-Asians in my family and they seem to be the center of attention most of their lives.
Finding yourself isn't easy. Being poor is hard but money doesn't necessarily make you rich.
Enjoyed your vlogs. Best of luck with your baby!
@@ginnyfromdablock7551 Seems like this vlogger and I disagree with you. So nice to meet you and hear your side.
This was a really great story. Love "normal" expats who hang out with locals vs the various "stereotypes" of expats. We need more expat vloggers like this.
That's the best way to experience a place, just hang out with locals, I hang out mostly only with locals in Bali, but my family are locals🙃😊
What is the stereotype?
Thank you so much for sharing ! I am a girl from Singapore. I understand how you feel because i married a man from another country Malaysia ..He treated me preciously too, unlike men from my own country Singapore, who are mostly cold and uncaring. I feel happy for you that you found happiness in Thailand. All the best! Stay safe! 😀
Love how you shared you guys how you met story. The end warmed my heart. I love how you just keep going into the next chapters of your life.
You are this generation's Eat Pray Love story and it is a good one. Opening your heart to what is before you takes so much courage and you have shown that, therefore the love you receive in return will always be strong. Love this story:)
Lily, I cried as I started listening to your life story from the beginning to the end - how you were soul-searching and the courage you've made. Thank you for your honesty and congratulations.
I'm so happy you had a supportive mom and still do. It was great she told you to go back to Wat. Clearly you both fell in love and how wonderful. Now you have 3 beautiful children. It's remarkable where life takes us some times isn't it.
Also,,,hats off to ur mother for being so supportive and positive towards ur life.
Love your testimony about how you met your husband and your entrepreneurial & adventurous spirit. You captured my curiosity - an expat in Thailand. I’m selling my business. I need to make a transition. Thank you for your inspiration. God bless! ✨
Yes....material wealth is not everything.....happiness and good health in life is more precious than anything
you can't stop smiling when you talk about Watt, you so in love with him. Lily I love your videos. congratulations on your new baby girl 💖
It’s the little things that count. Congratulations! So many people live a whole life thinking material things is what fills your soul. Glad you found out early that it’s not.

I love this story! This shows that your soulmate isn’t just around your corner. Love is around the world. ❤️
Outstandingly true !

Soulmates aren’t real
@@indimist390 I feel like they are. After I met mine, I learned that there are certain events in your life that are pre-planned. I feel like everyone has one and they will meet theres. The only tragedy is that life is fleeting and you may not always get to be with them. My mother met hers when she was 21 and they had a baby, they separated after and they reunited when she was 57.
@@indimist390 cuz u ain’t met one. They exist.
Life is a journey. Take a lot of turns , forward, detour . The best part is there is someone ride along with you.
Miss Valencia, yes it is true, someone say get along without you now, I hope don't mind, this is only quite popular song name of the late 1960's, try to search (you - tube) name of the singer -> Skeeter Davies, but she has already pass away long time ago, that's all from me in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Thanks.
@@ismailaziz5508 Thank you.
Gosh, you're so trusting. I'm so happy this worked out. I really want to visit Thailand soon and I'm so glad I found your channel. Where I live, I'm too afraid of everyone and everything and I'm ready for peace.
You went on a trip not knowing that God had a different plan for your life. You found love in many different ways.
God bless you and your family💕
God didn't make her plan. Stop it!
God never ‘makes anybody’ plan. Every man has their own free will and we choose to do what we choose so ourselves. He does have a plan for each one of us, to do us all good and never to harm. To give us hope and thriving future- no matter what ❤️
My god had a plan for your god to have a plan for them
You're truly an inspiration! You're beautiful inside out and I can tell that your husband is too. I just found out about your channel and I have been watching atleast 10 videos today. I am myself born in Thailand but now lives in Sweden and watching your videos gives me comfort because I do really miss Thailand
Heyy
Your mother being sooo supportive of you moving to a foreign country is spectacular!!
You're really lucky to have such supportive mother. Unfortunately some parents would talk their children out of moving to another country because they want their children always to stay chained and near by.
But your mother is different. For her your happiness is more important than living together in one city 🙂
ur mom is so supportive
All mother's should be supportive. Sorry, all parents should be supportive it's normal. I definitely am supportive of whatever my son WANTS TO do, as it's his life to live not mine. I guide him and he listens sometimes, other times he has better ideas. We learn off People everyday. They could be children, TEENAGERS, older grandma's, uncles. We all LEARN from EACH other.
@@Channel66678 true true gonna show this comment to my mom
I really enjoyed watching your vlog..i feel you
Introduce me to your mom mintsf lol
Brothers or sisters, the kingdom of GOD is near, we need to repent and believe in Jesus Christ, so that our sins can be forgiven, and we can have eternal life.
If we don't believe in Jesus, we will die in our own sins.
Lying, Stealing, murders, evil heart, revellings, hatred, emulations, arrogant, strife, Envyings, commit adultery, seditions, bad words, porn, didn't honour father and mother, worship idol, homosexual, fortune teller, black magic, blasphemed GOD, claiming self to be GOD, calling a man as GOD, worship things made of gold, silver, wood, stone or other materials, worship animal as GOD, against GOD, did not want to repent and believe in JESUS, take the name of GOD/JESUS in vain and other evils things, these all are sins. If we did 1 of these things before, it makes us sinner. If we continue to do these things or sinning, we will die in our own sins.We need to repent through Jesus, to make our relationship with GOD good again, because There will be a judgement day 1 day, The people who believe in Jesus Christ and follow his commands will enter the kingdom of GOD, but the people who don't believe in Jesus and done evil/bad things/sinners will enter Hell.
Only Jesus can give you joy and real peace in your heart, only Jesus can forgive your sins, only Jesus can lead you to be a righteous man.
No other name except JESUS can save your soul and lead you to heaven.
This is about our eternal life and eternal death, so believe in Jesus and repent(Confess to GOD that we're sinner, stop sinning and follow Jesus teaching), to save our own soul and life.
Repent, and be baptized every one of us in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and we shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit/Ghost will guide us on how to become a righteous man, live and work according to GOD's will.
Lord Jesus said:
luke6: 37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
You can read BIBLE online by searching it on google, you can start read from the book of JOHN. You can learn Jesus teaching from there.Or here's one: www.esv.org/John+1/
If you have any stress, problem in your life, you can pray to Jesus and ask for His help, Jesus will listen to your prayer.
GOD is our Father, He is the ONE who made us and everything in this world. It's time for us to return to Him and acknowledge Him as our Father through Jesus Christ. Wake up people, return to your only ONE Almighty GOD and Father.
Her Mom sounds pretty cool. I can imagine a lot of Western mothers of a certain age might have a problem with their daughter marrying a Thai man and moving abroad.
Beautiful story to tell another 1,000 yrs yet, still put a smile on anyone’s face. Love Always Win! 🥰
Hi Lilly. You may not read my comment since it’s been two years since this video was posted.
I have never fallen in love with any video on UA-cam until today. Such a simple video but so beautiful. Your beautiful and pure heart radiates throughout this video. I wish you and Watt God’s best. And may your family continue grow and flourish.
The happiness you got in taking a leap of faith in a new journey, some people spend their lifetime searching and still haven't found it. GOD bless you and your family.
What a sweet story! And your mom sounds like she’s super supportive!
What a beautiful story! I have a Thai husband as well, but he was born and raised in the USA. We now live in Thailand, since 2013. He too is the sweetest kindest gentleman one could ever know. Bless you in your life together!
I m thai woman and my husband is thai men he is a good man Some Thai men are good, some are not. It depends on what kind of people you will meet. Some Thai women want to have a husband as a foreign man. Such as American men or westerner.
because Thai girl think that American men and westerner are handsome.
Congratulations to you And welcome to Thailand
สวัสดีครับ
@Biên Hòa Memories Thanks
Your story is so inspiring, breaking all the stereotypes and found the happiness you deserved.
Chick, When I hear your story I cant help but see Gods plan in all of it. Such a lovely heartfelt video, so genuine, so real, serendipitous.
Soulmate. Life is journey. U traveled across the world to find happiness. Congrats.....
Amazing story, ... its amazing when you find the right person who loves you for you and it feels like the right person.
found Lilly's Expat Life today. Lilly, your journey was meant to be. 🙏🏽
I'm inspired by your sense of sdventure and courageousness. It's priceless to be treated like a queen by a man.Wishing you continued success, good health and happiness.
sometimes as a man you have to take a chance. a lot of people are gonna think she's way out of his league and that may be the case but he took the chance to go up to her and ask her out and the odds came in his favor. like the World Series of poker sometimes you gotta put all your chips in the middle and let the cards ride. props to homeboy for taking a chance.
Finally the real man have spoken…😉
I was head over heels for this one guy based on his physical features but then when we connected it went down south fast because the chemistry wasn't there and the less we connected the less he became unattractive not because he wasn't handsome but because there wasn't chemistry. What I'm trying to say is looks can only go so far because at the end of the day you want someone that truly cares about you, someone you can have deep conversations with and so on.
Fast forward to now I've been seeing a guy for six months and the chemistry is definitely there and the more I got to know him the more handsome he became to me. Lol
Beauty is really in the eyes of the beholder. Brad Pitt who's known to be one of the sexiest man alive but I don't find him attractive at all. Lol
I think women get to a point in life, especially when they've been treated poorly in previous relationships when you realise that if you've met a good man so you should just go for it and not be worried about it meeting "conventional standards" (whatever that means). A kind heart, honest & caring man is more attractive than anything. Good luck to them both!
@@VitaBySam I agree and I can relate to your comment. Many years ago, as a young 20-year old, naive girl, I fell in love head over heels, with an extremely handsome European man. After a short courtship, we got married and I left my family, friends, and country to go to Europe and live with him. I was swept away by his good looks but what a big mistake because the next 10 years were a living hell. As handsome as he was on the outside, he was the ugliest and most horrible human being on the inside. Eventually, with the support of my family back in the US, I gathered up enough courage to leave him and came back home. As the plane took off, I felt like I had been liberated from a monster👺. After being treated so poorly, I swore I would NEVER put myself in a similar situation by making bad choices.
I remained single until my mid-fifties until I met the nicest, most caring, humble human being I had ever met. He was older than me and came into our marriage with very little to offer except his love and endless devotion. For the first time in my life, my days were filled with joy and laughter. Sadly, after 12 years of happiness, he passed away from complications due to Alzheimer's. Young people take note, regardless of good looks or material things, it's the inner beauty in a person that counts and that is Priceless ❤.
Lilly, you are so gorgeous an your husband is the luckiest man on the planet.
Yo that was savage 😂😂😂😂
Wrong, I'm the Luckiest man on the Planet ... coz of my Woman :D

Hello Lilly, I was just about to hit the sack. When I saw this video from the corner of my eye. HOW I MET MY THAI HUSBAND. So I decided to stay up for a little while and watch. You have a beautiful personality and very photogenic looks. Listening to you , you said you were blessed. I saw that the first time I saw your videos, and now I can say, I am all shook up. I think the better way, I could say is I am all hooked up. I recently saw your video of Luke's 5th birthday, and you looked so happy, which made me happy too. You deserve all the happiness that you can breathe now. With a great man in your life, and 3 gorgeous kids. Who could ask for anything more. You also have a great nanny, that cares about you and your family. I want you to be the happiest woman on this planet, and you rightly deserve it. Take care, and keep smiling. God Bless.
Love how your smile gets wider and wider as you progress in your story
It showed that when you were living back in the States you were not that happy
But when you met your current husband you started smiling and blushing
That was pure happiness ❤️
Wish you guys lots of love and stay strong and healthy during this pandemic
I've just watched about 4 or 5 of your posts. Very interesting to hear stories from a female expat. I'm an Asian American from Hawaii (so I like your restaurant's name) living in Samut Prakan since 2012 with my Thai wife. Impressive that your mother was so encouraging for you to make such a major change in your life. I just added your channel to my short list of subscriptions. Keep up the great work and congratulations on your growing family!

You are an amazing woman. I'm so encouraged by your video. I lived 7 years in SE Asia and absolutely loved it. I would probably still be living over there but after the Umbrella Revolution I needed to come home. Thank you for sharing your life. Your kids are beautiful.

Humble, strong, optimistic, empathetic and beautiful. Are you an angel or what. God bless you
Such a beautiful precious relationship wishing you both years and years of happiness together 💞
In April of 2019 I came to Thailand to experience the water festival. And walking around in Pattaya I sat down in this bar and there was this Thai woman who was limping, and she took care of the paperwork and made sure everyone got their drinks. And there was something I just liked about watching her do her job. We begin to talk and it wasn't long before we just started spending a lot of time together. When she was 21 she had a terrible motorbike accident and pretty much lost the use of her leg. I came back for 2 months Sept & Oct and we spent every day together when she wasn't working. Then the pandemic came and we have been apart since. She lost her job and went back to her family's home. It's very hard for her to find work. No one wants to hire a disabled person. But I'm hoping soon to come back to Thailand around Oct. and spend more time with her,,,,,,,,Thai people just have a wonderful outlook on life. Thailand can change your life,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Many blessings to you Dan🙏🏻
Get back asap..hope you are telling HER this...
you re look so beautiful. Glad that you can set up family in Thailand with a good Thai guy. He is look a family man also. Sincerely welcome. I will follow you this channel.
Water festival is called Song Kran and it is a Thai New Year. They pour water onto you to wish you happines and good health. They have many intersting festivals like a candle and flower festival called Loi Krathong. You can see on my channel
exactly, you would never know Thailand until you come and see it by yourself. Wish you and her best of luck.

Wow what an amazing story and journey! I also had my eyes opened when I visited the Philippines back in 2005 and 2006 and it was an eye opener. I have never seen such poverty and it looked like a war zone but like you said the people were happy and what shocked me was they were happier than people in the US and some were homeless street kids. Ever since then I wanted to go back and help the people somehow and Lilly your journey gave me a renewed inspiration. I truly hope someday I can live my dream of helping the people of the Philippines as they are truly wonderful people similar to the Thai people. Thank you for sharing your story because it has inspired me!
Her story is like a fairytell,a beautifull american woman find a thai husband,this wiman have a good heart❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Not all Thais and Filippinos are poor.. there are the super rich too and the middle class. In the US too there are poor . Some SE,Asian countries however are better off like Singapore. The Crazy Rich Asians. Funny you mentioned not seeing such poverty till you went to Philippines because as a Singaporean I was shocked by the poverty I saw in the US.
Lilly, thank you for sharing your story with us. You have such a beautiful and loving family. Have been binging your videos, and I can feel the love between you and Wat. And your boys are gorgeous and adorable.

I look at successful people in life and they all have things in common such as taking chances, I mean HUGE chances, not being afraid to try things. Just based on this short 10 min video I can tell this lady is a business woman and a hustler which also means at one point things work out by themselves because of all the time and energy were invested in life.
I was like you back in 2019. Like I was so sick and mentally checked out of the busy life in America. I packed up and went back to the homeland. I felt to refreshed.

Thank you Lilly for sharing your life experience and I am so happy for you, Wat and Luke. My relationship here in the US is similar to yours. I was married for 25 years and ended 2004. I started my own business and was successful but I am not happy I am still single. I have been in Thailand before when I was in the US Marine and I loved it. I said to myself that I would return to Thailand some day. I sold my business in June 2019 and I was planning to Expat to Thailand just like you. Then of course the pandemic occurred and I wasn't able to visit. I am a truly fan of your channel and would just love to meet you and your family just to say Hi! Take care and hopefully meet you someday in Thailand.

@@frankhartman6463 hi
Your story made me cry, true love will guide you any directions you choose. Watching your vdo helping me with homesick.
I have watched several videos from your channel. He is very quiet, gentle and kind while you are beautiful and lively. And your sons are adorable. A very lovely family.
I admire your Mum, she is a very supportive Mother ❤️❤️❤️
Life is so unexpected isn’t it? I met my fiancé in Bangkok when I wasn’t looking. Now she is planning to move here while I contemplate to move there eventually.
I hope to meet you guys at some point when I visit in the future.
I had so much fun watching your other videos I had to search for your love story on your channel. It was worth it. So much fun! Wish you the best of luck and hope that you and your family are always happy Lilly! Your mom is so awesome!
Being exposed to Asian culture really makes you appreciate the small things, the people and good life. Thailand is definitely in our bucket list. Hopefully u get to visit the Philippines too ❤️
I really want to see more of Asia now that i am 46. I have been to Europe but the people in Thailand were so nice and friendlier. I loved my 10 days in Phuket
