The article reflects on the experiences of the Thai-Filipino couple Kirati 'Art' Thepsoparn and Irma Go as they navigate life in Bangkok Noi, a tranquil suburb of Bangkok. The couple often escape their rapid-paced city lives to enjoy the scenery of the khlongs and engage with local communities. During one of their boat trips, Irma discovered an intriguing property for sale, which would ultimately lead to a significant lifestyle shift over the next five years for them and their family, emphasizing the transitional nature of their lives between busy and serene environments.
It has always been a refuge for Thai-Filipino couple Kirati 'Art' Thepsoparn and Irma Go, providing an escape from fast-paced downtown life.
These are my people, but they live so differently,” Art tells me, before sheepishly admitting that his Thai is a little rusty after having spent much of his youth abroad.
Irma spotted something that would change the course of the half-decade that followed. It flashed by in a blur, right where the Chao Phraya river branches off.
It felt like a different city altogether, a low-slung suburb where life goes by slower, away from Bangkok's bustling scene.
