    Ep. 2 Why Thailand?

    Welcome to Soul Thai, Moving and Living in Thailand, your essential guide to healing, relocating, and thriving abroad. Each week, we bring you practical tips, cultural insights, and inspiring stories to help you create a peaceful, sustainable life overseas. In this episode, we dive into the big question everyone's asking: Why Thailand? Discover why thousands are choosing Thailand, starting with its incredible affordability. We break down how your dollar stretches further than almost anywhere else, from renting a modern apartment in Chiang Mai for around $500 a month, to enjoying delicious street food for just $2 a meal, and accessing high-quality healthcare for under $50 a visit. Compare that to the overwhelming costs of rent and healthcare in the US, and you'll see why Thailand offers a compelling alternative. But Thailand is about much more than just lower costs; it's about an unparalleled quality of life. Learn why it's called "the Land of Smiles," a country deeply rooted in respect, hospitality, and community, where kindness and warmth are woven into everyday interactions. We explore how families feel safer, children grow up surrounded by cultural richness rather than constant fear, and adults find the space to slow down, heal, and breathe—something often missing in America. Thailand is presented not just as a destination, but as a place to reset, to start anew with peace, dignity, and hope. Soul Thai Fellowship believes Thailand is the foundation of a healing-centered global movement. Ready to explore what's possible for you? Find out more at www.soulthaifellowship.com.

    Ep. 3 Origin Story

    Welcome to Soul Thai, your essential guide to moving, living, and thriving in Thailand. This episode introduces the inspiring journey of Kim Brio-Cox and Moses "SloowMoee" Cox, two visionaries and dreamers who refused to accept survival as the only way to live. Despite achieving success with businesses and a digital community in America, they recognized the immense toll of constant stress, systemic inequity, and a culture that neglects rest. In response, they created the Soul Thai Fellowship, a donor-funded movement offering ten Americans a life-changing opportunity to start anew in Chiang Mai, Thailand. This fellowship provides comprehensive support, including flights, housing, living stipends, and community dinners for an entire year, ensuring healing and dignity are accessible to all, not just the privileged. Discover how Soul Thai is building a vision where peace, culture, and community lead the way, and learn how you can contribute to this transformative movement.

    Ep. 4 What Is a Nervous System Reset?

    Welcome to Soul Thai: Moving and Living in Thailand, where this episode dives into escaping "survival mode" and finding peace abroad. Many in America face constant stress from traffic, bills, safety concerns, and the fast pace of life, keeping their nervous systems in a perpetual state of fight or flight. This episode explores the concept of a nervous system reset, which involves deep rest, slower living, nourishing food, and supportive community to foster peace, presence, and safety. Learn why Thailand, with its slower pace, respect-based culture, and affordability, has become a natural destination for Americans seeking to heal. Discover the Soul Thai Fellowship, a donor-funded initiative making this reset possible for 10 Americans in 2026, offering a chance to breathe again and start fresh by changing their environment.
