Do you know any Thai word beyond “Sawadee”? I have been studying the language since our relocation to the land of smiles. My favourite Thai word so far is “RAK”, which means LOVE. And recently, through a natural and effective health remedies brand, RAKS Natural, I learned another new word: “RAKS.” When LOVE becomes plural, the word “RAKS” makes up most of
Once we decided to make Thailand our base in Asia, we looked for a forever home for our family. Due to our son’s mobility challenges, we struggled to find the right home.

After living in Thailand for one year, I have grown accustomed to several personal care products from Thailand that I can no longer live without. Coming from Hong Kong where there is no import duty, at first I found imported skincare and body care products to be pricey. I also made the mistake of ordering them online and ended up
It’s been a quest for me to look for a decent Thai bag brand. Working for French luxury brands, I have a thing for beautiful bags. A lady cannot have too many bags, right?
