Moving into my new girlfriend’s house

Is it the King's Bridge? Yeah, yeah,

King's Bridge. Wow, looks cool.

This side.

Wow, it's brown.

It's the captain.

He use foot like

a car.

What? Thai Navy. Navy. Oh, Navy.

Yeah, Navy. Oh yeah.

Take a picture of the accident.

It's too funny.

Angry mother. Is he strong?

He can push the car. Look, it's coming

back down, rolling backwards.

There's no one in the car.

Look, it's moving.

Wagyu beef.

We have to push this car.

Seriously, let me

put this down. Thank you.

Wow, it's surprisingly easy to push a car.

Be careful. Help me,

baby.

I'm pushing enough. Okay, stop.

Take the exit on the left.

Hello and welcome back to my house tour.

So I recently just moved into my new

girlfriend's new house. I moved in

yesterday. It's kind of a complicated

story. Um, where do I even begin? I think

first of all I'll just quickly give you a

house tour. And originally I wasn't going

to show the house because I was worried

that weirdos on the internet are going to

try and find out where this place is and

then try and cause problems for me because

they always love to do that for some

reason. So I'm gonna show you the house

anyway because certain things have

developed into a situation where I don't

think we're going to be staying here. I'm

not sure because the whole situation is

kind of a mess involving her mother. As

always, these problems are caused by

someone's mother. Why can't mothers stop

meddling with their children's lives? For

once in the world. I don't know, it's so

frustrating because this is a pretty nice

house and I just did a load of cleaning

because it's a pretty new house and they

just finished refurbishing it, so it's a

bit messy here and there. The floor was a

mess, I just did a load of mopping. We got

this mop thing here from the shopping

center just now, and I got myself a little

cushion to sit on. And turns out we're not

even going to be staying here. So this is

the living room. It's really big as well.

Look how big it is. I'm not sure how much

a house like this would cost. I think

maybe £50,000, maybe £70,000,

because it's pretty spacious. I think it's

a detached house and it's got a few

bedrooms. It's got this room here, it's

got a kitchen. The problem with the house

is, well, as you can see, there's stuff

all over the place because she just

recently moved in. But the problem with

the house is almost nothing works for some

reason. Nearly— well, a lot of things

don't work. For example, this dishwasher

doesn't work and it keeps leaking. There

was a big puddle on the floor earlier.

This tap doesn't work.

Where is it? Yeah, this doesn't work. Oh

no, my foot's wet. And there's all this

mess all over the place. She didn't have

any cups, so we went to buy me a cup for

my coffee. And the fridge is tiny,

so you can't fit a lot of stuff in there.

And also there's no hot water because for

some reason the people who were fixing the

house didn't think to wire the little

heating thing into the shower pump. I'll

show you that. So there's an upstairs

Pretty nice little window.

It's in this weird kind of closed-off

village area. It's got like a security

thing you've got to go through as well.

It's like a gated village. And then up

here you've got some bedrooms.

This is the main clothing

bedroom, and then you've got this really

big room in here.

Very nice. It would be so nice to just

have a table there. It's a bit echoey.

It'd be nice to have a table here and a

computer chair and just set up like a

gaming setup there with some nice

lighting. And that's what it looks like

Yeah, I don't know if I'll keep that bit

in the video, but That's what it looks

outside— looks like outside. And in here

is the bedroom that we slept on. We slept

on the floor because there's no bed.

That's my clothing. That's my charging

stuff. Okay, so this is the

house. So the problem with the mother is

the mother helped pay for this house. So

my girlfriend has paid for part of it. I

don't know who's paid for most of it, but

Maybe her mother paid for most of it, and

then my girlfriend just paid for a bit of

it. I don't really know the full details.

But anyway, because the mother has paid

for the house or paid for some of the

house, it means that my girlfriend doesn't

really have full control over what happens

in the house. And apparently her mum

doesn't like me because she doesn't like

her daughter dating a foreigner. And

there's like a big thing in Thai culture

where Traditional or conservative parents

don't like their daughters dating

foreigners. Typical Asian stuff, you know,

happens everywhere in Japan, Korea, and

Thailand as well. So, and her mum is not

really Thai Thai, she's Chinese Thai,

and I don't really know if that means

anything, but apparently— hold on,

someone's— I think someone's here.

Oh no, it's just a neighbor. I thought she

was back. Yeah, there's a big gate you

have to swing open. Scared me. What was I

saying? Um, yeah, so apparently

my girlfriend told her mum about me

straight away from not the beginning but

probably a few weeks ago, and I thought

that was kind of weird. Why are you

telling your mum about me when we've only

been chatting for a few months on the

internet? And apparently her mum was

really against the idea of her meeting me

But she met me anyway, and that just made

her mum even more angry. I actually talked

to the mum because when I met the

girlfriend in Bangkok, her mum kept

phoning over and over and over almost

every day. And my girlfriend let me

speak to the mum. I just said, hi, I'm

Daniel. And, you know, she seemed nice,

but it's just fake, isn't it? It's just

fake niceness. In reality, she doesn't

like her daughter dating me just because

I'm English, which is so dumb. You think

Why is she worrying so much about her

daughter dating a foreigner? They think of

all these reasons like, oh, I might be a

scammer, or I might break her heart, or

oh, I might do this and I might do that.

But all of these things, you know, Thai

men can also do. Thai men can be scammers.

Thai men can break her heart. I don't know

why it's like just because I'm a foreigner

that this is such a bad idea for her

daughter to be dating me. It doesn't make

any logical sense. But you know, that's

just Asian mentality, isn't it? So now my

girlfriend says that we can't live here

because her mum won't allow her to live

here with a man. It's so ridiculous

because she's like 35 years old and her

mum is telling her what to do as if she's

a kid. This is something I really dislike

about Asian culture, is how parents seem

to have control over their adult grown-ass

I have to bring out the Americanization

here, the Americanism with the ass thing,

because it's just like, how are you trying

to control your grown-ass children when

they're 35, nearly 40 even, and you can't

even give them their own independence?

It's just ridiculous. But anyway, it seems

like the girlfriend, the Thai girl, wants

us to move into a different apartment,

and I don't know who's going to pay for

that. I guess I'm going to have to pay for

it, or is she going to pay for it? She

keeps saying she doesn't have much money

because she spent it all on this house,

which she now doesn't want to live in

because her mum doesn't want her to date

me. It's so silly. Oh my God,

I just wonder if the mother would have

been okay with me coming to live with her

daughter if I was a Thai man. As if that

makes any difference. Thai man, foreign

men, at the end of the day, all men are

just men and they want just a few things,

you know. They want Um, financial

security. They want domestic comfort and

female attention. It doesn't really matter

if you're a foreigner or a Thai man. Men

are men. I don't really see what the

problem is. But it seems like we're gonna

have to move out of this place even though

she has all her stuff here. What's she

gonna do with all her stuff? I don't get

it. She says we can go and live in an

apartment together and she's not going to

live here, but I guess she would leave her

stuff here and then come back here now and

then pick stuff up. It just sounds

absolutely crazy. So, um,

kind of annoying because I was getting

comfortable with the idea of living here

for a while, and I was getting comfy here

with my little cushion.

Ah, this is a nice house though,

but if the mother is paying for some of it

or most of it, then I guess the Thai girl

doesn't really have the final say in

everything, which makes sense,

I suppose. I just spent almost an hour

wiping down surfaces and cleaning the

floor, trying to make the place nice and

livable. Now she says we're gonna have to

leave tomorrow. How are we gonna leave

tomorrow? How are we gonna get an

apartment so quickly? This is just so—

like, I can't even Oh, now I have to pack

my stuff, put it all back into my bag

I knew something would go wrong. I had a

feeling something was fishy and

too good to be true.

Oh, I really like this house. It's so

spacious and, um,

Big feeling. The problem

is I can't get all my stuff back into my

bag because when I came here I was wearing

most of my clothing because it was cold in

England, but now it's really hot here.

I have to wear just a shirt and one pair

of trousers. I can't fit everything back
