Hello, It's Dieu from Ling here to share another story with you!


In this special “foreigner takeover” episode of Learn Thai with Ling, meet Dieu, a digital nomad from Vietnam whose Thai adventure started… with food! From bingeing at Thai restaurants every weekend to learning Thai during quarantine, Dieu shares hilarious stories of navigating the language, traveling around Bangkok and Chiang Mai, and why "Mai dai ben kon Thai ka" (I’m not Thai) became her survival phrase! 🌏

Discover the unexpected challenges of learning Thai script, how music and dramas kept her motivated, and why Chiang Mai feels like home for so many nomads. Plus, hear her top tips for practicing Thai at street food stalls and why even small language efforts make a big difference in the Land of Smiles.
