David Toborowsky and Annie Suwan: Reasons for Their Move to Thailand
David Toborowsky and Annie Suwan, well-known from the reality series 90 Day Fiancé, have made a significant move to Thailand, and I believe there are compelling reasons why they may not return to the United States anytime soon. The couple first crossed paths in Thailand when David, an English teacher fresh from a divorce, found himself captivated by Annie’s singing in a bar. Their romance blossomed, and despite David’s financial challenges, Annie chose to commit to him when he proposed.
To facilitate Annie’s arrival in the U.S. on a K-1 visa, David sought assistance from a friend. The couple subsequently tied the knot in November 2017 and chronicled their love story in season 5 of 90 Day Fiancé. Their journey from living in a storage unit to settling into a two-story townhouse in Fountain Hills, Arizona, resonated with fans and underlined their popularity within the franchise. Additionally, they’ve made investments in properties back in Thailand, showing a blend of their American experiences with ties to Annie’s homeland.
Why Did David & Annie Move to Thailand?
A Desire for Dual Citizenship for Their Daughter
As they approached family expansion in early 2024, David and Annie openly discussed their journey to pregnancy on social media. Due to David’s previous vasectomy, they faced challenges in conceiving naturally, which led to a sperm extraction procedure that facilitated Annie’s IVF treatment. Their pregnancy announcement in July 2024 came with joyous news of expecting a baby girl just a couple of months later.
Despite facing health challenges during her pregnancy, Annie’s enthusiasm about motherhood shines through. At six months into her pregnancy, the couple decided that they wished for their daughter to possess dual citizenship — both Thai and American. To realize this, they chose Thailand as the birthplace, beginning their journey back to Annie’s home country after a brief retreat in South Korea.
David Discovers the Benefits of Living in Thailand
Embracing Thailand’s Affordable Lifestyle
This isn’t David’s first experience in Thailand, yet he seems to be rediscovering the benefits of the country’s affordability. Recently, he has been sharing numerous updates, illustrating his enjoyment of an active lifestyle and the low expenses associated with it. One of his posts featured a nutritious breakfast, emphasizing that he managed to complete over 11,000 steps before 9:30 AM.
David discussed the meal’s affordability, stating, “breakfast cost 99 Thai Baht 2.85$ USD.”
He has also expressed his pleasure in affordable luxuries, such as enjoying foot massages for just a few dollars, highlighting the remarkable quality of life in Thailand. With inflation rising in the U.S., it seems David is appreciating the comforts and financial benefits of life in Thailand, which might influence his decision to remain there long-term.
David & Annie’s Plans for Returning to America
Uncertainty About Their Return Date
David has a history with Thailand, having relocated to start anew after his previous marriage fell apart. While initially moving to the U.S. was central to Annie’s pursuit of her dreams, their new family circumstances have shifted their focus back to Thailand. It’s expected that they will remain there until the arrival of their daughter in March 2025.
Interestingly, the couple has yet to announce a specific return date to the U.S. In a recent Instagram Live session, David shared that they are in Thailand for the baby’s birth, leaving their duration of stay post-delivery unclear. Given their contentment in Thailand and the presence of Annie’s family, it’s plausible that they may consider extending this move to a more permanent status, especially as David manages to work remotely in real estate.
Financial Challenges Facing David & Annie in America
Potential Financial Benefits of Staying in Thailand
As one of the standout pairs from 90 Day Fiancé, David and Annie seem to be navigating financial difficulties despite their popularity. While they boast a considerable social media following, they don’t appear to be actively pursuing brand deals to monetize their influence. Annie’s clothing brand has not gained significant traction either, and their absence from the Pillow Talk series may also affect their income streams.
Significantly, David’s new role as a real estate agent in Arizona suggests that they could be experiencing financial strain. With a baby on the way, the stakes are higher; it’s likely that they opted to have their child in Thailand largely because the healthcare costs are substantially lower compared to the U.S. Childbirth expenses can escalate rapidly in America, especially for procedures like C-sections. Therefore, delaying their return to the U.S. may be a strategic decision to save money.
For viewers, the unfolding story of David and Annie continues to appear every Monday at 9 p.m. EST on TLC’s 90 Day: The Last Resort.
