Iain runs a business in the north of England. Kiyara is British-Thai — born in Thailand, built a life in the UK. Together, we stopped asking "what if" and started asking "when".

In January 2027 we're getting married on Natai Beach in Phangnga — 30 guests, a long tail boat on the horizon, a fire show at sunset. And after that, we're not coming back.

For us Thailand isn't a holiday, it's home. The Land of Smiles lives up to every word — the warmth of the people, the colours, the food, the chaos and the calm. From Phangnga's hidden sea caves right on our doorstep to street food at 6am and mango sticky rice from a cart on the corner, it's a place that gets under your skin and never lets go.

This channel is the honest, unfiltered story of making the move happen. The visas, the culture shock, the cost of living, the wedding, the business decisions, the moments where it all feels overwhelming — and the moments where it feels absolutely right. Everything the travel blogs leave out.
