WHO ARE WE?

We’re Mike & Oliver, two roommates living in Bangkok. We started RoomiesBKK in 2025, almost immediately after moving in together.

Our podcast and YouTube channel is where we share authentic perspectives and stories about our life in Thailand as a foreigner. If you’re relocating to Thailand, thinking about moving here, or just curious to know what it’s like to live here, we hope to be part of your journey!

MIKE YU

Mike is an entrepreneur and content creator currently based in Bangkok. Born and raised in the UK, he spent a couple of years travelling the world and visiting close to 40 countries before eventually settling in Thailand. What was initially a layover turned into a month-long stay… and then 3 months… and then half a year. He’s been here ever since. For Mike, the best part about Thailand is not just its food and culture – it’s the warmth and generosity of Thai people.

OLIVER BRYNNUM

Oliver is a model and influencer from Denmark. While in search of his true path, he has tried a little bit of everything – from supermarket cashier to army recruit and teacher (really!!!). When he’s not busy being an international model, he’s passionate about health, fitness and travel, and hopes to inspire others to lead balanced lifestyles. In 2022, Oliver made a life-changing decision to move to Bangkok, a city that quickly became his second home. Every day, he draws inspiration from Thailand’s rich culture and the warmth of its people.
