90 Day Fiancé: David & Annie’s Thailand Move Challenges Their Relationship and American Dreams

90 Day Fiancé personality David Toborowsky appears to have made a significant life choice by relocating to Thailand with his pregnant partner Annie Suwan, a decision some critics are already dubbing “the worst he could have made”as they prepare for their baby’s arrival. Initially debuted in Season 5, David and Annie were not considered fan favorites, largely due to their notable 24-year age difference. This was compounded by viewers’ disdain for David’s decision to prioritize his new marriage over his responsibilities to his children from a previous relationship.

Despite their rocky introduction to viewers, David’s relationship with his former family has improved since their initial appearances, aided by their involvement in the spinoff show Pillow Talk. In recent episodes, the couple has showcased a genuine happiness, suggesting that their bond has grown stronger. David, who was navigating personal struggles before meeting Annie, has largely credited her positive influence for his transformation, making it clear he is devoted to ensuring her comfort during her pregnancy.

The Decision to Leave America Behind

David’s Move to Thailand: A Permanent Shift?

As of November 2024, Annie has been facing difficulties during her pregnancy, including back pain and the recent passing of her grandmother. Amid these challenges, David announced their upcoming move to Thailand. Notably, Annie will be accompanying him, as indicated by a photo he shared for a visa application, signaling their intentions to settle there. When fans questioned the choice of Thailand for their baby’s birth, David explained that Annie’s family resides there, implying a support system will be in place.

Addressing concerns about Annie’s U.S. citizenship, David ensured fans that their child would hold “dual citizenship,” alleviating worries about potential immigration issues that could arise from their move. However, his emphasis on prioritizing Annie’s feelings during this significant decision raises questions about whether he has fully contemplated the implications of leaving behind their American lifestyle, particularly given the stability it offered.

At 56 years old, David faces his health challenges, including a previous stroke. While he hasn’t publicly discussed his current health status, he has managed to lose approximately 70 pounds, a feat he attributes to lifestyle changes made after feeling fatigued during a mountain hike in Thailand. For someone of his age and medical history, the shift to a different country may introduce new stresses, making it essential for him to weigh the benefits of embarking on this fresh chapter against the comfort of familiarity and security associated with their life back in the U.S.

The Potential Loss of American Comforts

Over the past few years, David and Annie have seen a notable improvement in their financial status. However, the financial burden of relocating, particularly with a newborn on the way, could be challenging. While Annie successfully runs a Cameo and a fashion business, David appears to be the primary financial provider. His recent investment in a $500,000 home in Scottsdale, Arizona, marks a remarkable improvement from their earlier living conditions as a married couple. David has opted for a life in Thailand, abandoning their luxurious four-bedroom townhome.

The couple owns several properties in Thailand, with one of Annie’s condominiums situated right on the beach. This coastal property could have played a role in their decision to leave America behind. However, David’s recent gift of a new car for Annie—and his new role at a real estate company—highlights the sacrifices he’s been willing to make. These decisions, though seemingly impulsive, could prove beneficial in the long run as they adapt to their circumstances.

Potential Impact on David’s Career in Thailand

In May 2024, David took steps to expand his professional horizons by becoming a licensed real estate agent, aiming to diversify his income streams. However, moving to Thailand so soon might hinder those ambitions, especially when considering the opportunities available in the U.S. While remote work is possible, it remains to be seen whether David can replicate the same financial success in a new real estate market. He was recently observed attempting to sell property to fellow cast members Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh, gaining hands-on experience in the Thai real estate landscape.
