Founded in 2007 by Dr. Jarunee (Joy) Nugranad-Marzilli, originally known as the American-Thai Children Network, this special website is to promote these children to be aware of their uniqueness as people who are part-American and part-Thai.
"Dr. Joy" is a native Thai who is married to her American husband, Vincent Marzilli, Jr., R.Ph. They have one daughter, Milan Mookvarin Marzilli or "Nong Mook" who wonderfully represents American-Thai and inspired Joy to start this special website.
With her fascinating background in sciences, the environment, and technology, Joy and her husband have been raising and nurturing "Nong Mook" with a good mixture of the two cultures. With pride in her Thai heritage, Joy has a hope that these American-Thai children will enjoy being part-Thai & part-American, and ideally, take part in both cultures.
American-Thai or Thai-American children have one parent that is Thai and another parent that is American. It also includes the children whose parents are both Thais and/or part-Thai and the children grow up with both cultures -- Thai & American, or in other words "East & West".
Let the American-Thai children rock with the best of both worlds....
