It’s our last episode of Season 1! This one is a must-listen. Alex opens up about his experience being in a gay open relationship—how he approached the topic with his partner and how they communicate about it—while Ann takes notes and reflects on what an open relationship would mean for her. We also reflect on what we learned and what we’re looking to on our next season.

On this week's episode, we speak to the multi-hyphenate and international nomad, Binbin Natalie Narkprasert!  Binbin has lived across 3 continents, and we discover that both she and Alex were fellow Hotelies in college. Binbin has lived in France, so Ann could not help but talk about Emily in Paris. Binbin discusses raising $100k for COVID Thailand AID, organizing rallies in support of BLM in Thailand, and creating Karma Suitya, a LGBTQ+ lifestyle brand with her sibling and former WAYFF guest, Pangina Heals.
