A New TAI TAI In Thailand

Relocating to Phuket from Hong Kong in Jul 2022 was an unplanned move for our family. Most families chose to call Thailand their new homes during COVID lockdown for its more natural habitat and its quality lifestyle. For us, the first and foremost was for my younger child, who’s a brain cancer survivor, to have more affordable and holistic medical treatments and options.

 

A New TAI TAI In Thailand

Relocating to Phuket from Hong Kong in Jul 2022 was an unplanned move for our family. Most families chose to call Thailand their new homes during COVID lockdown for its more natural habitat and its quality lifestyle. For us, the first and foremost was for my younger child, who’s a brain cancer survivor, to have more affordable and holistic medical treatments and options.

Naturally, compared to other families, life here is not all about living in paradise for us. However, I decided to focus on the good things in life. Combined with my background working for luxury brands, the idea of TaitaiTanThai.Life is born. “Tan” in Cantonese, means to “enjoy”. It intends to be a daily reminder to myself to focus on the joy, instead of all the pains and worries in everyday life.
