Sawaddee Peemai 2562!

Sawaddee Peemai! That's what we say in Thailand for "happy new year"! And in Thailand we are stepping into the year 2562!

Recapping 2018:

This has been a very exciting year...

First I got married to my husband Craig in January, yay!
Then I went to Japan and ate amazing Osaka street food, and had a fancy Kaiseki meal.
In May I embarked on 3 big video projects in Thailand: How Coconut Milk is Made Documentary, How Rice Noodles Are Made Documentary, and a highlight video of the Thaifex Food Show in Bangkok.
Back in Canada I went to Edmonton to be the food judge at the world's biggest multicultural festival.
Then I became pregnant, yay! So we decided to eat our way through France on a "babymoon".
In between those trips, of course, I put up many delicious recipes as usual. And now with baby on the way, I am guessing the traveling is going to slow down a lot this year :)

2018 Housekeeping Updates

HOUSEKEEPING RECAP:

I want to also recap some new housekeeping things that happened this year in case you missed it.

PaisKitchen.com is getting absorbed into HotThaiKitchen.com. This is to simplify things for you, so you only have to go to one place for written recipes. Pai's Kitchen as a show will continue as usual.
I launched "Ingredient Challenge" as a new show format. We premiered our first episode this week, and it was great success! As much as I can, I will try to upload these as a "YouTube Premiere" which simply means we can watch the video together when it first airs and I will be able to live chat with you as we watch! Watch the first challenge here, and you can also see the live chat replay!
Patreon got a revamp this year. Now fans who support the show at $5/month now get early access to recipes, AND get a bonus "Show After The Show" where I share extra bonus content related to that week's video. Click here to find out more about Patreon. Supporters at all level also get discount to my merch store, and get response priority if you send me any questions!
I launched a merch store. I have cool T-shirts, aprons and coffee mugs that ship worldwide. Let me know if you have other design suggestions for future products! Check out the store here.
I am on Cameo.com. This means you can request a personalized video message from me for someone :) Check it out here.
