Another man were curious about how they walked and who controls their direction in everyday life. Here’s hoping that we’ll get to see more snippets of their daily life in the future.


Pin and Pan are brave and strong


So, apart from Chang-Eng Bunker, we now know that Pin and Pan are another pair of Siamese twins in Thailand. We definitely admire them for their strength and bravery in getting through daily life with a positive attitude as we can’t imagine how difficult it must be to live with conjoined bodies.

However, a simple video like this showing how these twins are enjoying ice cream is definitely heartwarming. We hope this news story can help encourage those born with atypical physiques, and to know that there are many people in the world who are willing to support you.
