From a cocktail bar in Bangkok to a surprise proposal in Italy

Havana Social, Bangkok First Met — September 2023

We first met in a 1940s Cuban-inspired cocktail bar in Bangkok. After a few brief but memorable conversations and a kiss goodbye, we promised to keep in touch, hoping we would meet again soon.

Bangkok to Koh Chang Starting our relationship — December 2023

Things truly took off when Dave suggested a spontaneous trip to Koh Chang. We woke up to the sound of waves, enjoyed kayaking and fresh seafood dinners — and on one adventurous day, kayaked to a nearby island, rowing back in the dark with flying fish jumping around our boat.

Mukdahan Meeting the Family — June 2024

Six months in, we organised a trip to Mukdahan to visit Preaw's family. Secretly, Dave encouraged this trip before their planned summer adventure in Europe — he knew he wanted to propose and wanted to introduce himself properly first.

Manarola, Cinque Terre The Proposal — September 2024

Our dream European trip finally happened — Lisbon, Mallorca, Italy, Copenhagen. In the picturesque town of Manarola, Dave arranged a surprise proposal with a photographer at 5:30 AM. Despite waking up to rain, the clouds cleared just in time for the perfect moment.

Back to Bangkok Moving in Together

After returning to Bangkok, we quickly moved into a new apartment. Life became a mix of spontaneous trips, Thai food and sushi dinners, badminton, cycling, and constantly finding something adventurous to do together.
