Lee Hye-won from 'The Family That Crosses Boundaries' captures attention by revealing her top criteria for selecting accommodations based on her extensive experience living abroad.
The 75th episode of 'The Family That Crosses Boundaries' airs on Channel A at 8:10 p.m. on the 20th, featuring the 'Chinese Family' consisting of Hyeon Bo-na and Zhang Hai-xiang, who are currently living in Bangkok, Thailand, for a month to provide English education for their two children, Jang Ga-hee and Jang Geon-hee, having left their residence in Qingdao.
First, Hyeon Bo-na and Zhang Hai-xiang explain the reason for choosing Thailand as their 'one-month living' location, noting, "The English camp system is well-established, and the costs for accommodation and meals are reasonable compared to other areas." They continue, saying, "We will share the budget for 'one month living in Thailand' considering detailed expenses such as housing, living costs, leisure, and dining out." Song Jin-woo empathizes, stating, "Just as 'one month living in Jeju' is trending in Korea, I heard that 'one month living in Bangkok' is popular abroad. I also lived in Bangkok for four months due to a performance, and it was really great."
Immediately, the 'Chinese Family' says, "Since we are looking for a place for a family of four to stay for a month, we had to pay the most attention to selecting accommodations," introducing a luxurious residence with a spacious bedroom and great lighting. As Lee Hye-won, who closely observes the 'Chinese Family's' accommodations, comments, "I prefer where a washing machine and kitchen are provided within the accommodation," she shares her personal tips from years of living abroad, stating, "It would be tough to wash by hand every day without a washing machine, and we definitely need a space to prepare meals, even if simply for our family." Furthermore, the accommodations also featured a gym for exercising with a view of the Bangkok city and a rooftop swimming pool; Hyeon Bo-na reveals the cost of the residence without hesitation and recommends custom alternatives according to different budgets.
Meanwhile, the 'Chinese Family' sends their children to an English camp and visits the 'Klong Toey Market,' the largest traditional market in Bangkok, to gauge local prices. After picking up supplies post-school, they explore the 'Damnoen Saduak' floating market, located an hour and a half away from Bangkok by car, and the 'Maeklong Market,' where trains pass perilously close. They then head to the food court, sampling a total of nine dishes, including crocodile meat skewers, showcasing their 'mukbang family' prowess. Amid the cast's concerns that "the dining expenses may exceed accommodation costs," and "it seems we miscalculated the budget," curiosity peaks regarding the total budget for 'one month living in Thailand,' which includes accommodation costs, living expenses, tourist expenses, and dining expenses.
