“I can see myself in Thailand but I can’t really imagine myself in other countries” This sentence is proof how you love Thailand… As a Thai people, I would say Thank you so much for loving our country… hope you feel a good vibe and love yourself more and more when you are in Thailand. We, Thai people are really welcome you, Joyce ❤
I am a typical “Euro-American” that grew up in the Midwest. Everything is not chill in the USA and it’s capitalism at its worst. I have worked/ lived in 5 countries ( Thailand my last) and after living here 19 years I have become more patient, nonjudgmental, less materialistic and never show my anger in public. When I return to the States for a 1 month holiday my friends and family notice how “chill” I am and how I am no longer being punctual which drives them crazy. 555 If I was Asian American from the Midwest I’d want to live in an SE Asian country so I don’t have to answer “ Where your parents come from? ( They’re American, stupid.)
Good interview with nice perspectives from young expats. BKK is a fun place with a lot of things to do and see, especially for young people. I went to college in BKK 30 years ago. I really had a good time back then. You can imagine how much more fun it is now with all these convenience from transportation and many other things. Just like anywhere else in the the world, Thailand is not perfect. Hope you both continue to enjoy living in Thailand 😊
You interview with Joyce is great and the topics you choose was right on. I am a older Asian American that has been charm by Thailand good nature. Thanks fir a great interview.
Great video and interview with Joyce. I watched a video of Joyce a few months ago and her friend referred to her as INTJ. That immediately caught my attention, since I too I’m INTJ. So, I find it interesting that I’m a subscriber to both of you (before watching this video) and I’m in a situation where this INTJ is watching TWO INTJs have a conversation 😀❤️
I am Chinese, born in Indonesia, in the 3rd generation. My grandparents were born in China and moved to Indonesia since they were young. Now I have stayed in chonburi Thailand for 9 years. I think Thailand is much safer than Indonesia. People are kind . And house and living cost is a bit cheaper than Indonesia.
0:27 P in Thai means older Brother/Sister.❤ 9:45 Joyce you are 9 among Thai girls!! We Thais don’t judge from the look only, we count the personality too. 3:07 Crossing the road needs to be safer! We Thais are not happy with reckless driving through the zebra crossing and we vow to change it in our generation!!! ⚡️
Benjakitti park is relatively new about 20+ years old, compared with 100+ years old Lumpini park. The park land used to house Thailand Tobacco Monopoly's factories which were relocated to provinces decades ago. Both parks are linked with green skywalk.
Hope you two got a chance to see the Pattaya Fireworks last weekend. I hope you continue to enjoy Thailand and get out and meet the wonderful people from Issan.
Good insight from US/Asian born and raised. I was raised in the NW state of Wa, moved to FL bc weather and can grow everything from papaya, mango, lychee, etc like back in Southeast Asia. Next, might make my move to Thailand for cultural and food 😎
Thank you for your comment about my country but now I’m in US for 18 years never going back there it I plan to moving back ASAP BUT I’M NOT SURE probably I will do everything done before Thailand new year because I have to celebrate my birthday with my family that I never done that in 18 years.hopefully you’ll be there again.
Crazy, I already figured that you're an INTJ when you mentioned you moved to Thailand alone in your old video. I'm also an INTJ and thinking about moving to Asia too lol. I've been a subscriber of Joyce's channel for months now, she is very pleasant to watch!
It’s a bit naive to assume racism doesn’t exist in Thailand. She’s treated equally because she’s mistaken for Chinese-Thai by the way she looks and acts. If she had been black, mainland Chinese or God forbid, Indian or Pakistani, her situation would be a lot different. Obviously I’m not talking about ALL Thais, but I’ve seen it more often than not.
You guys got a lot guts to moved and live in an asain country, I'm a chinese guy from Australia, been living here all my life, and still very scare to moved and live an any asain country, and I'm old, 50 year old and looking for an early retirement too, any advice of moving to any Asian countries
If your asian and your moving to an asian country, it should be easy. You will look like everyone else. You don’t have to move right away. Just live 1 or 2 months in Thailand and come back. Go back and forth. Then you will have a better feel on what you wanna do.
In Thailand, the 10 main clans are Tang( Chen), Lim, Lee, Ng, Ngong, Kow, Tia, Tae, Lao and Heng, respectively. There are more than 10 million Thai-Chinese people here, and everyone says with the same voice, "I am Thai." But if asked about your original family name, We will ask you: What is your maiden name?
A beautiful young lady 👍. The only racism I feel is attraction, if you can call that racism 😁. It is very good to be where you want to be and know who you are at 24!
One could argue that while it's true Thailand is known for its laid-back and accepting culture, it's not accurate to generalize that there's no judgment or pressure there. Every society has its own set of expectations and standards, though they may differ in nature and intensity from those in the West or Hong Kong. For instance, Thailand has its own cultural norms, social expectations, and workplace standards, which can also be demanding in their own ways. Moreover, the concept of "face" and maintaining social harmony is quite significant in many Asian cultures, including Thailand, which can create a different kind of social pressure. Additionally, the experience of pressure or judgment can be subjective and vary greatly depending on one's personal circumstances, background, and the specific community they are part of. Thus, while the overall atmosphere might be more relaxed in certain aspects compared to some Western countries or Hong Kong, it's an oversimplification to say that there's no judgment or high expectations at all in Thailand.
Social norms are something that almost everyone understands. Obviously, we judge them in our minds based on a variety of factors. For each situation, time and place can come into play. However, the options for expressing those opinions are limited. I agreed that we have some sort of judgement/expectation that can vary from situation to situation. The social status of each individual, as well as their relationship, can influence their level of judgment and expectation. People must learn it over time. Why did they claim that no one was judging them? We can explain it easily because they are our guests. that they can feel comfortable and relaxed. Nobody expects you to fully integrate into our hierarchical society, which is based on community rules rather than individualism. Thai customs toward visitors are straightforward: please and don't disturb.🙂 We will treat you with a particular set of etiquette to make you feel comfortable if we know you are our guest. I'm confident that nobody is spared if we meet someone who is a jerk. FInally, the most simple and powerful thai word that unveil and reflect our tradition is เกรงใจ. If you have this word in mind, life is so simple in Thailand. Chok-dee krub.
@@FrazerHatyai 555 Easy bro. We don't talk about hypocrite in American politics. I just let people know our social norms. You should take it with a grain of salt. 🙂But this little thing can make them harmony in many aspects of life in Thailand. We are just poor third world country. Don't take everything seriously. Just enjoy life and not doing sth bad otherwise they'll get reserve in Bangkok Hilton. Good luck mate.
I'm glad when you guy met each other.bcuz you both grew up in the same country.and being Asian in the US.and try to runaway from comfort zone.Even Thailand never be your destination for you in the list.and also Thailand is not the best country in This world but I can tell.Thai ppl.don't racism anyone if they don't do anything with not respectful who we're and also illegal things that this contry unexeptable.
You are scared crossing the streets because it is dangerous but really chill riding a motorbike? 😂 Thailand is not so laid-back when you don't have a lot of money and have to work in the heat 6/7 days a week 12 hours a day.
I'm not surprised Thai can't detect she is foreigner because Thai-Chinese and Thai are the same, if you have a Chinese face but doesn't look like a backpacker or come with a group tour definitely we gonna speak Thai with you first 😅

I only recently discovered Joyce Sin’s channel after seeing her appear a few times on Chon’s Friends from Thailand channel. I like her. She’s cute, funny and a little socially awkward, but she looks great on camera. And she’s very open about herself which I like. A little surprised she’s a Midwest girl and not from the usual West or East coast American expats. Good interview
As a Chinese American nearing retirement age, my first choice is to move to Thailand. Your videos give me lots of incite into the nuances of living there. Appreciate you sharing all of your experiences since you moved there and hope you stay happy.
Totally agreed with you I am Laotian been to China so many times, US is good but two thing I don't like racism and safety issue. Being old Asian person living in America is not good now due to rising of Asian hates.
Move back to China is good ideas since China nowadays is well developed, safety & cleaser alots!! China growing rapidly & miracle in last 3 decades is unbelievable & hard to deny!! China did well & successfully!! But in general retirement in China or Thailand it’s still a GREAT & SMART CHOICE!!
The one thing I regret is partaking in the hustle culture in the US in regards to academics and employment. Although I'm now financially secure as a result of my participation in this culture, I feel like I was robbed. I can't explain it, but I feel so one dimensional as if school and work have come to define who I am. Now that I'm retired, I've discovered that I have absolutely no interests other than school and work. It's like I'm sitting around waiting to die without really having lived a full and complete life. This is what happens when you allow others to determine your path in life.
I'm Native American and I feel at home in Thailand also. I'm constantly asked in a very warm and friendly way "you look like a Thai man" "Are u Thai?" I take that as a compliment. Thanks, Thai people! Thailand also has strong politics. We don't notice it if we are not Thai or read and speak Thai. It's good that Thailand made her more humble. We can all benefit from being more humble.
She said she was born and raised in the USA, but she has a Chinese accent. It's not super strong, but I definitely would have thought she moved to the USA as a teen or something.
Her English sounds a bit off to me too, but I don't know if I'd call her accent a Chinese accent. She sounds like a friend of mine who is genetically Korean but grew up in France and moved to the US as a teen. With that said, I know some ABCs who grew up in Cantonese communities and somehow have an accent speaking English even though they have always lived in the states.
I follow Joyce too, she is so beautiful and good natural person as compared to the fakery I come across on a daily basis in the US. An excellent vlog Paul❤️🙏🏽😇
If you spend enough time here and mingle more with the locals, you will observe that CLASS is more of an issue than RACE. Because Thai culture is rooted in Buddhism, Nationalism , & The Monarchy, people in general are treated better if they "think" or assume you have "CLASS". Class in Thailand (and the way you are therefore TREATED) is influenced or judged by of course: 1) Your Family/ family heritage/name 2) Your friends you socialize with and connections you have 3) Your Economic standing in comparison to the average Thai. 4) Your career/profession 5) Your manners/ mannerisms/ etiquette. Yes in my opinion in that exact order of INFLUENCE! Understanding this about Thai culture will help you navigate your adventure here much easier in terms of being able to discern who might have the potential to be more of a sincere friend or just a quid pro quo connection at best or at worst getting scammed. In general since I moved back to Thailand 30 years ago (I'm half Thai-Flip so I hold a Thai passport still bc my Dad is Thai) after growing up in California for 18 years I also am reminded every time I go back to visit the US (especially in the last 10 years) that everything is so controversial and people are easily triggered. When I left people could "agree to disagree" and we respected each other for our differences & boundaries (not judged or canceled each other) but could still hangout and have a great time. Thailand today feels like Cali when I left so this is why I decided to stay and work here, got married to a Thai and have a family here.
Great content!. I’m also a digital nomad, asian & black american entrepreneur from Seattle wa leaving to Thailand for the 4th time next month. Would be great to get an interview or something in or just connect! 💯
Same reason Forest or anyone else does, so they can be a victim. Thais aren't like that. Your born in Thailand, you are Thai, period. As far as I know, I am 75% English and 25% German, but I am just a guy from Ohio.
It’s from America, you can’t blame Joyce nor Paul. Americans label everything. Even sexual preference. Non-binary, pansexual, drag, transsexual, queer etc. In Thailand, you are gays, lesbians, trans. That’s it. You can be Chinese-Thai, Mon-Thai, Indian-Thai but when you are asked you just answer “Thai”. No labels, no need for any fussy explanation.
I dont like woke victim mentality, but you would understand if you were asian growing up or living in the west. It’s a conflict. Most asians have parents or grandparents that immigrated from East adn don’t want to shed their roots. I mean, why would you? Imagine you as a german immigrated to Thailand or china where most people looked different than you and treated you as a non-thai. Maybe you wouldn’t call yourself primarily Thai either and want to keep some german traditions and call yourself thai-german. Its the same thing. Look, an asian can be born and speak fluent english in the west, but still be viewed as some chinese if he walks around in middle america or does something that “americans’ don’t like. Again, no we shouldn’t use race as a victim complex but to say it’s exactly the same as a european immigrant to america is just not true and missing huge context. I dont see what’s wrong with saying chinese american or whatever, unless she’s using that to play the race victim mindset, which she isn’t. Face it, although laws say so, a white american isn’t treated the same nor have the same experiences as an asian or black
I was in Asia for 4 years after college, Bangkok, Shanghai, Seoul, honestly the major cities of Asia are significantly better than the ones in USA Its like the people, the infrastructure, dating, convenience, safety
Dangers of Thailand: Roads/Sidewalks, power lines, Soi dogs. Dangers of USA: People, guns, food. I’ll take Thailand dangers over USA any day. I’ve been here for almost 4 months, and literally the only reason I’d return to USA is to visit family and friends.
As a Thai person, you can be anything in Thailand (LGBQ). If it doesn't create trouble for others, everybody wants to live their life style the way they want. May you be happy living in the country and live a happy, chill life. (google translate)
OMG Joycehysin have Thai asian accent. If I met her in public I would assume she is Thai and studied in international school since kid. I really would like to know which Thai series made her come to Thailand.

China growing rapidly & miracle in last 3 decades is unbelievable & hard to deny!!
China did well & successfully!!
But in general retirement in China or Thailand it’s still a GREAT & SMART CHOICE!!
You both speak Thai so cute! 🤩😍👍
I kept smiling watching this video. 😊
awesome to see other asian americans in Thailand. I moved here a year ago and i'm loving it here.
The one thing I regret is partaking in the hustle culture in the US in regards to academics and employment. Although I'm now financially secure as a result of my participation in this culture, I feel like I was robbed. I can't explain it, but I feel so one dimensional as if school and work have come to define who I am. Now that I'm retired, I've discovered that I have absolutely no interests other than school and work. It's like I'm sitting around waiting to die without really having lived a full and complete life. This is what happens when you allow others to determine your path in life.
I'm Native American and I feel at home in Thailand also. I'm constantly asked in a very warm and friendly way "you look like a Thai man" "Are u Thai?" I take that as a compliment. Thanks, Thai people! Thailand also has strong politics. We don't notice it if we are not Thai or read and speak Thai. It's good that Thailand made her more humble. We can all benefit from being more humble.
Paul confronting what BL is is so hilarious
She said she was born and raised in the USA, but she has a Chinese accent. It's not super strong, but I definitely would have thought she moved to the USA as a teen or something.
Her English sounds a bit off to me too, but I don't know if I'd call her accent a Chinese accent. She sounds like a friend of mine who is genetically Korean but grew up in France and moved to the US as a teen. With that said, I know some ABCs who grew up in Cantonese communities and somehow have an accent speaking English even though they have always lived in the states.
A smart and thoughtful woman, nice interview 👏
Joyce is very pretty girl for Thai opinion. ofcause thai people like chinese looking especialy with good manner.
Joyce is like the most awkward girl ever, which makes her the cutest girl ever. = )
She got them crazy vibes….i’m 100% certain
Love your chill vibe 😊 very like like Thai 😂
This was very enjoyable !
You are so kind!❤
Thank you for the tip 😊
@iPaulLee thank you for sharing genuine useful experiences.
I follow Joyce too, she is so beautiful and good natural person as compared to the fakery I come across on a daily basis in the US. An excellent vlog Paul❤️🙏🏽😇
All about the chill vibe for sure! That’s the best park in BKk too
love you two 😊❤
Damn she came from the midwest too? I come from there too, Missouri represent lol, but she's right midwest is boring AF, that's why I left too
If you spend enough time here and mingle more with the locals, you will observe that CLASS is more of an issue than RACE. Because Thai culture is rooted in Buddhism, Nationalism , & The Monarchy, people in general are treated better if they "think" or assume you have "CLASS". Class in Thailand (and the way you are therefore TREATED) is influenced or judged by of course: 1) Your Family/ family heritage/name 2) Your friends you socialize with and connections you have 3) Your Economic standing in comparison to the average Thai. 4) Your career/profession 5) Your manners/ mannerisms/ etiquette. Yes in my opinion in that exact order of INFLUENCE!
Understanding this about Thai culture will help you navigate your adventure here much easier in terms of being able to discern who might have the potential to be more of a sincere friend or just a quid pro quo connection at best or at worst getting scammed.
In general since I moved back to Thailand 30 years ago (I'm half Thai-Flip so I hold a Thai passport still bc my Dad is Thai) after growing up in California for 18 years I also am reminded every time I go back to visit the US (especially in the last 10 years) that everything is so controversial and people are easily triggered. When I left people could "agree to disagree" and we respected each other for our differences & boundaries (not judged or canceled each other) but could still hangout and have a great time. Thailand today feels like Cali when I left so this is why I decided to stay and work here, got married to a Thai and have a family here.
I'm Asian American and left Seattle WA 30 years ago and never looked back. Same reasons guy you have, only I was way ahead . Now in Malaysia on mm2h.
Great content!. I’m also a digital nomad, asian & black american entrepreneur from Seattle wa leaving to Thailand for the 4th time next month. Would be great to get an interview or something in or just connect! 💯
Nice video. But the following I do not understand: Why she doesn't call here self only American. I never heard about for example German American.
Same reason Forest or anyone else does, so they can be a victim. Thais aren't like that. Your born in Thailand, you are Thai, period. As far as I know, I am 75% English and 25% German, but I am just a guy from Ohio.
These labels are created by Anglo-Americans
@@goonerdoyTrue.
It’s from America, you can’t blame Joyce nor Paul. Americans label everything. Even sexual preference. Non-binary, pansexual, drag, transsexual, queer etc.
In Thailand, you are gays, lesbians, trans. That’s it. You can be Chinese-Thai, Mon-Thai, Indian-Thai but when you are asked you just answer “Thai”. No labels, no need for any fussy explanation.
I dont like woke victim mentality, but you would understand if you were asian growing up or living in the west. It’s a conflict. Most asians have parents or grandparents that immigrated from East adn don’t want to shed their roots. I mean, why would you? Imagine you as a german immigrated to Thailand or china where most people looked different than you and treated you as a non-thai. Maybe you wouldn’t call yourself primarily Thai either and want to keep some german traditions and call yourself thai-german. Its the same thing. Look, an asian can be born and speak fluent english in the west, but still be viewed as some chinese if he walks around in middle america or does something that “americans’ don’t like. Again, no we shouldn’t use race as a victim complex but to say it’s exactly the same as a european immigrant to america is just not true and missing huge context. I dont see what’s wrong with saying chinese american or whatever, unless she’s using that to play the race victim mindset, which she isn’t. Face it, although laws say so, a white american isn’t treated the same nor have the same experiences as an asian or black
❤น่ารักคนมาจากบ้านเดียวกันคุยกัน...ขอให้มีความสุขมากๆในเมืองไทยครับ...🎉🎉🎉
Joyce, can you share how you make a living?
Ahhh INTJ 👍🏽
Good raw interview
I was in Asia for 4 years after college, Bangkok, Shanghai, Seoul, honestly the major cities of Asia are significantly better than the ones in USA
Its like the people, the infrastructure, dating, convenience, safety
8:30 You two look so cute when talk to each other.
Wow man that girl is a perect 10 in beauty and brains. She seems so chill to be around for real.
Dangers of Thailand: Roads/Sidewalks, power lines, Soi dogs.
Dangers of USA: People, guns, food.
I’ll take Thailand dangers over USA any day. I’ve been here for almost 4 months, and literally the only reason I’d return to USA is to visit family and friends.
Glad to see you two together, perfect match 😊
As a Thai person, you can be anything in Thailand (LGBQ). If it doesn't create trouble for others, everybody wants to live their life style the way they want. May you be happy living in the country and live a happy, chill life. (google translate)
Paul: I think I'm ok Ha!
It's amazing to hear the same what I feel! The vibes are so good here, I love my life here 🙏
Thumbs up 👍 Paul & Joyce
You two are so cool!😊
Because environment in the US is hard to chill. You adapt to your environment and people.
ยอดเยี่ยมมากๆเลย 🥰
I would be best to earn in the West and spend here, your money last 3-4 times longer at the same quality.
Joyce is a 10 in any country! 😊
Please be very very careful when riding motorbike here Its dangerous!!
OMG Joycehysin have Thai asian accent. If I met her in public I would assume she is Thai and studied in international school since kid. I really would like to know which Thai series made her come to Thailand.
I know exactly what she meant and I don't even live in Thailand...maybe one day 😅
Love you two. Im not alone aftef all. Here i come Thailand!!!!!
such a great interview! I dig both of your channels! ISTJ...im not sure why all us I's pick up cameras and youtube!
lol i know all the songs that they were singing. you guys did pretty good..
