Couldn't think of anything funny but I'm sure it's a Jade vine (Strongylodon macrobotrys - I had to look that up).

Thank you very much Frank - I suppose my next challenge is finding somewhere that sells them.

The vine is called Strongylodon macrobotrys, commonly known as jade vine, or "puang yok" in Thai. It is a native of the Philippines
You might find it at the Chatuchak plant market on Wednesdays, but I have yet to find it, if you do please let me know as I would dearly love one as well
I suppose you saw at the hua hin vineyard, it is just unusually beautiful and interesting
best of luck and keep me posted :sun:
