About Us

Hi there! Welcome to our little corner of the internet. My name is Warren Gerdes, and I’m a retired Aussie expat living in Thailand with my amazing fiancée, Chanya Khamjeen. Chanya, a post-op ladyboy, and I have been building our life together since 2009. Together, we document our day-to-day adventures and unique perspective on life in the vibrant suburbs of Bangkok through our video blog.

Our journey has been anything but ordinary. From countless flights between Australia and Thailand during our early years, to finally taking the plunge and moving here in 2016, we’ve navigated love, culture, and the challenges of building a life together.

Before retirement, I worked in IT for a company with a satellite office in Bangkok, which initially brought me here. After years of corporate changes and the grind of long-distance travel, I decided it was time to embrace a simpler, more fulfilling lifestyle—and I haven’t looked back since.

These days, Chanya and I focus on creating content that brings you closer to Thailand’s unique charm, from daily life and delicious food to breathtaking explorations of the Land of Smiles. Our goal is to share the real Thailand—through our eyes—with a mix of humor, insight, and heart.
