NEVER, NEVER give out your passport.
Very true, thanks for your input!
Why not
@@omarkhamis523 you'd be dumb af, since it's your way outta the country
man up 1. Passport is the only way out of the country and the way back into your country
2. They can use your passport as identity fraud since a passport is 4 IDs in 1.
Hope this helps
@@gtarules1 I'm 12 how the fuck should I know the use of that shit
And stay the hell away from jet skis.
I also noticed 7 eleven staff don't give back correct change .
It happen to us mostly in restaurant. Still if you mention the employee he will correct it. Thx for your input! Our guide to travel Thailand is coming next!
Hey bro. I am from Thailand. Everything you said is so true. Even I got scammed by taxi.
It’s not the scams that has ruined Thailand. It’s the fact prices have skyrocketed in places like Phuket. I went 5 times but never again after last time. More expensive than Sydney now. $8 average beer now. $50 on Main Street for 2 people to eat. Even back street food wasn’t cheap anymore
Great informational video, love people like you, so sweet and lovely couple.Keep up the good work mate.Much love.
+Amit Sharma thank you so much for the nice comments. We are happy to know that the information are still up to date. Are you planning a trip there soon?
Takyo Travel hello, i visited Bangkok and followed your advice.I had a great trip and planning to go again. Thailand is a beautiful country and not to mention the people of Thailand are so welcoming and full of life.One have be a bit carefull while travelling, but i found Thailand extremely safe , some exceptions are evrywhere.Thank You once again for your work, you guys are great. I am planning to go again soon. Thanks much love.
Takyo Travel rrgbou
Thank you . You sound like a nice man
you are required to have your passport with you at all times.
never leave your passport with anyone
jared Noah
thats the law.
you are not required to carry ID in your country?
Brandon Henke
Nope. In some countries the only ID is your passport, there aren't any ID cards and you aren't required to carry your passport.
More, you aren't required to carry a driving license even if you are driving. You have the right to supply the license within certain period of time (5 days) if police request it.
That's the difference between a country friendly to its people and the one that isn't.
2x 333 And how would they verify WHO has to show their driver's licence at the police station when they have no way of knowing your identity at that time?
Take a photocopy, never bring your original passport with you, moron.
Bullshit
I thought there's a scam about coconuts cause of thumbnail.
Don't buy a simcard at the airport. They're 2 to 3 times more expensive then at the local 7-11
Very true, great input, thx!
Thanks!
Does it come with the little sim card tray tool or do I need to bring my own
What? The prices of True are exactly the same at the airport and in any mall
I bought at the airport and it was exactly the same price at a 711.
Well done...look forward to seeing more!
Hi Jerell! It was one of my very first vlog. I got a little bit better at it ;) We are currently back to Thailand and daily vlogging in Koh Samui :) come join the adventure! th-cam.com/video/S1Ia_o9h71A/w-d-xo.html
thanks for these recommendation and tips man. Love all the way from the philippines! 👍🏽❤️I like ur shorts bybthe way.
I really enjoyed watching your informative and very honest video. I hope you get more subscribers...good luck and keep making great videos.
Thank you so much for the nice comments. You really fuel our journey!
The one and only way to get around Asia is with GRAB its like uber and will give you cheap rates, it was a such a help in Vietnam
We use grab a lot during our trip in the Philippines. Very reliable!
This is particularly true in Phuket! The taxi cohorts here run the rates extremely high compared to the rest of Thailand. Typically, my wife and I drive to the places we are going, but if we are out on the town and will both be drinking, we will use grab. Usually, if you live in a place long enough and make friends with the right people, someone local will know a freelance driver who has reliable rates and can be booked ahead of time. He'll be more expensive than grab, but way less expensive than a street taxi. This is also great in Phuket when you need to get to the airport, as the rates for an airport run can be very expensive depending on who you take. You also usually get to have a nice relationship with someone local you trust and can feel good about supporting him with your business whenever you need to book a driver. The key thing in the hot tourist destinations in Thailand is to NOT get caught driving or riding drunk, which can be a very loose percentage of blood-alcohol level. The police crackdown in Phuket has been upped in recent months, for tourists and locals. If you are caught riding or driving drunk (a swab test or even breathalisers these days), you are looking at 10,000 - 20,000 Baht to avoid spending the night in jail. You shouldn't be drinking and driving anyway, so a little planning goes a long way...
Grab from Malaysia btw
Thanks for the awesome vlog! Subbed
Glad you like this vlog, Thank you so much for the sub! it helps us so much for growing :)
Excellent job! You covered all the important areas to look for!
Thank you so much for your feedback, it means a lot to us!
You rock guys! Thanks a lot for revealing these scams, you will save a lot of people.
We’re glad if we can help one person not fall for those scams. Thailand is still absolutely beautiful and worth a visit for sure. Thanks for your support 🤗
The scams in Thailand are easy to avoid, if it sounds too good to be true, it is! And the best way to get around Bangkok is the sky train, it's clean, fast, efficient, cheap, scam free and best part air conditioned!!!!
+Greg Dundee ouhhh we didn't get a chance to try out the sky train. We definitely should next time! Thanks for dropping by our channel! We'd love to hear what you think about our Bali vlogs :)
It is more a refrigerator than a train 😉
Yes, I love the BTS Skytrain and always book a Hotel near a BTS Station. A Rabbit Card makes using the Skytrain so easy, no queuing for Tickets.
Does it go from the airport to say Khaosan?
@@stephan2176 No it doesn't.
You get scammed all over the world......Also in Europe, anywhere in the world it's common if you are a tourist!
Agreed on that! We believe that scammers should not be the reason to stop travel. We should be more aware of them and help each other on giving advice and tips :) Thank you for your input!
Not in America or canada.
@@mysteryandmeaning297 You're joking right?
We have ran into MANY more scammers in Europe than we ran into in Thailand.
Not in Finland or Canada
Very informative and beautifully filmed!
Thank you so much, we have more recent and conplete guide for Thailand if you need to know more about Thailand:)
This information is sooooo useful. Thanks so much! :D I also really like the way You have put the video together.
Thank you so much! we improved our editing & filming a lot if you watch one of our more recent videos :)
Ok, I just subscribed. :D Maybe one day we are gonna meet in Thailand. :D
We are looking to come back to explore more of the north and south east of the Thailand gulf. Would be nice to have a beer somewhere for sure!
Another handy tip when you arrive at the Airport entering Thailand, is to go upstairs to departure. If you grab a taxi as he's dropping of passengers it will avoid all the lines and he'll be wrapped he doesn't have to line up. Then name a price and he'll stick to it. Do not go untill you do. I've gone down the road and he tells you. Meter broken. Yer right mate, They have a hidden switch. Then he'll give you a high price. If he refuses to budge then tell him to stop the taxi and you get out. Simple. There will be another dozen in minutes. By this time your out of the airport. Also leave your someone in the taxi as you get your bags, otherwise he might drive of with them. And always have your main bag with valuables passport etc with you not in the boot. Same with bus trips. Sit on the footpath side so when the buss stops you can keep an eye on someone pinching your bag out from under the bus storage. If you take a train trip book the bottom bunk. Have fun. I have spent years in Thailand and I loved it. Friendliest people on earth, just don't upset them. JD
I will be there after 1 week. It a good call for me to take care of my self there it will be my first trip with my wife..
thanks for the tips.👍
Very hard not to upset someone who's ripping you off in your face
Great little video. First time I went to Pattaya I got hit hard with the jet ski rental scam. My daughter had allegedly caused damage, but in reality she hadn't crashed into anything. This quickly turned into a very hostile beach-front confrontation, with more and more criminal-eyed locals gathering by the second. I didn't want to get my family into a violent (potentially deadly) situation, so I eventually yielded and coughed up the 2000 baht 'damage fee.' (But the second time I went there, several wonderful local people saved my life when I was literally dying of sepsis. And the doctor was awesome. Saved my life). So, yes, there are a lot of scammers, but also a lot great people with hearts of gold, as well).
But when it comes to jet skis, if you want to do that stuff in Pattaya, you would do well to wait until you get back home (wherever that may be). Because jet-skiing there is not known to have good outcomes. Really bad scene!
Wow, im so sorry to hear what you and your family had to go through with that Jet Ski adventure. Im also glad that you have seen good people in Thailand and not only scammers. Im sure your experience will help many futur travelers. Love your input. Wish you more beautiful trip to come.
Thanks for the reply. The jet ski incident was the only scam that's befallen me in Thailand. I've been to Thailand (from far south to far north & almost everything in between) more times than I can count, over the years. Main reason is learning Muay Thai. Also some family vacations (It's a mere 2.5 hr flight from where I live). In none of those places was I ever scammed. Street-smartness is very important. Also there's something that in the military they call "bearing." It has to do with how you conduct and carry yourself.
What I'm about to write can cut down peoples' chances of getting scammed (or robbed, etc.) greatly: Carry yourself with confidence. Good posture, shoulders back. Walk like a boss. Walk like a U.S. Marine. Maintain total confidence in your eyes. This doesn't necessarily mean a hostile look. A totally confident, yet relaxed look is the best. Even in a totally new place, make yourself feel (pretend and act accordingly) that, "I own this neighborhood." There have been times (in Korea, India and Thailand) when I was totally lost. I put on this attitude, this "bearing," and nobody ever tried to scam or harm me in any way. People worldwide are very good at reading all these sorts of non-verbal messages. Giving out the wrong messages will inevitably bring on the scammers, or even worse.
As for avoiding honey trap scams, that's really easy. When a bar girl or massage girl invites you in, smile and say in a very friendly way, "No thank you, khap. My wife makes me very happy." And just keep walking on. (Even if you don't have a wife, the bar girl doesn't know that.)
My mother is Thai and fortunately the man knew better than to mess with her.
Thank you! Very nice video and helpful information! Keep it up!
Thanks! we love sharing and helping other travelers :) We are currently in Bali!
Thank you so much for these advise, it will help me a lot❤️
Your welcome Jackielyn, we also did a complete guide if this can help th-cam.com/video/k2Z-UdLvy0E/w-d-xo.html
Wish you a safe trip!
Very useful. Thank you so much
Thank you so much! We will do a complete guide for Thailand very soon, if you plan to go there, stay tune!
you gys are awesome and thank you for the vlog advise
+B Lenny thank you so much for dropping the nice comments. It's very encouraging for us.
Great video and great advice. I was there traveling around 1990. Such a beautiful place. Would love to go back.
Great video and great information. Thankyou guys!
+Ravi 276 it is a pleasure :) thanks for your positive comments!
No worries .I love Thailand. But these scams do happen. Got taken on a tuk tuk ride..It was fun but....why do I want a suit? Anyway, thankyou. Look forward to more vids Wish you guys all the best.
some great tips. Thailand is so beautiful!
We agree 100%. Thailand is a gorgeous country, we posted those tips just to help tourists, such as ourselves, achieve a more enjoyable, safe trip.
Thanks for watching!
Nice
..in Video.. recognised a lot of places in Koh Sumai...as we had been there last month
Im sure you had a very good trip. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We also prepare a complete guide for Thailand. th-cam.com/video/k2Z-UdLvy0E/w-d-xo.html
In case you plan to revisit again soon ;)
awesome vidz guys loving it
Thank you so much for the positive comment. It really mean a lot to us!
thanks for the information. I'm always aware of scammers were ever I go but that for sharing and hope to see more your videos guys
+Barbara paulus thank you so much for the nice comments. We are currently in Bali. We should make a lot of video here!
you forgot a bigger scam that happens a lot in North Thailand. After you rent a bike ... you 'll find the police few metres away... they ask you for a permit to ride the scooter ... And of course we don't have such a thing and they charge you a lot ...
+Mounir B that happens a lot! We're getting our international licence before our next trip for sure! Did you see our vlog in Bali where this happened to us?
"Maybe stop making style videos and gain some depth first."
He gave multiple good advices and you bitch about one mistake.
gkittell Hi my international licrnce covers me to rent small motorbike or moped from uk
Bahahaha yeah that the common scam in thailand and Laos. They give you a rental motocycle at the renter then you get stop a few mile down the road by police and have no driver license so you had to pay the police some money
@@missthoj4993 well if you drive a scooter in another country without an international driver's licence it ain't a scam your just a food for not doing research and following the laws of the country .
Thank you for your advice. This is information not typically offered among American or English expat videos. Perhaps they might not have been aware if yhese scams, since they thought that the prices were quite inexpensive already. But, it is not okay to be "taken" just because we are new to a place. Thank you once more.
Thank you so much for such a positive and encouraging comments. We always do a lot of research before any trip. It would be such a waste not to share these information 😊
Thanks for the tip, always good to get a heads up with certain scam. Cheers
You are very welcome, stay safe for now. Let's hope we all will travel back again soon!
Nice Dude! Great info. Thanks
Thanks Darrell! We have more recent vlogs about Thailand if you are planning a trip. We also did a complete guide. Have a good coming weekend!
been traveling to Thailand at least 1x a year since 2005. So far only the tuktuk and taxi drivers attempted to scam me...once your caught in a middle of a scam just say the magic word "tourist police" and they start to calm down.
in bkk take uber or bts train. avoid taxis if possible. Thai people are awesome. friendly and sweet ♡♡♡
great advices! thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.
Uber is not even operating in Thailand... They have Grab there
That is BS you are farang there and you have zero rights and cops are all corrupt as that Country.
If u use grab in Thailand don't be surprise if the taxi will pick a fight with the grab driver xD those taxi driver is retarded they will 100% try to scam u and u will pay 3x-5x more than what u should. Every single one of them will scam u so beware. :) I'm from Thailand so I know what is going on.
AVOID Ping Pong shows also as i was scammed 2500 batt.
don't lose that girl! marry her...U look good together. good video
+Jerry Thai awww, thank you so much. You are so nice!
Takyo Travel Have gone to Chiangmai? I am planning to go there. But I was told since I am very dark (Indian but raised in child) I may get a lot of racism towards me. Regardless awesome video. Make sure to marry that girl you are traveling with.
Jerry Thai she married someone else already.
No we were not in Chiangmai but there are tons of tourist from all over the world, we didn't notice any racism toward indians tourist. actually Thai thought that Jade was a Thai girl and disrespected her more because of that.
Takyo Travel disrespecting jade because they thought she is Thai. That's horrible. In Indian culture if you are light skinned you are god. If you are dark skinned you are not good enough. Funny how it works in third world countries. I was in Argentina and I personally experienced the prejudices towards dark skin color. Thanks for your reply. Your review was very helpful.
Awesome video, priceless information... thanks a million :-)
Thank you so much! Your feedback on this video really encourage us to do more :)
that was very informative and useful .. thank you
Thank you bro.
You are very welcome, Thailand is still a beautiful place to visit. Just be aware of the scams :)
Not a scam as such but one thing that upsets and annoys many visitors is discriminatory pricing or dual pricing, where tourists are charged much more than locals for entry to attractions. This can happen with government owned or privately owned attractions. Often the entry price is displayed in English, and written in Thai script would be a much lower price for locals.
However unjustified you may feel this is, just forget about it, don't let it bother you. If the the asking price is too high, then give it a miss. Most of the time though, the higher farang price isn't that high, certainly not compared to tourist attractions in a lot of other countries. Just enjoy yourself and don't worry about a few $$.
Very well said there! There is a lot of discus to the dual price, but in the end, compare with our western country, we often pay way higher and not blink an eye. Thx for dropping by our channel and have a wonderful coming weekend!
It's a common practice in most tourist areas in developing country. I think for cultural heritage places I think it is ok n fair. Since the management need fund to run or preserve the area but if they set a high price, the locals will not be able to afford it (as it was cultural heritage sites, locals need to be able to come and visit those places). Hence they collect more from foreigners. But I against this practice for some non cultural heritage sites, such as entertainment park or resorts.
Nice video. Keep up the good work. I'm leaving for Thailand next week. Your video was helpful.
Yeah!!! Thank you so much for the feedback! Have a safe trip!
I leave for Bangkok in 3 weeks, please say you made it back alive 😂😂
Superb video, thanks!
+Didgeridoo thx! I really like your profile picture! It really got me!
:D
That 'nice ambiance' restaurant would definitely have me checking out just where the fire exits are before I sat down and ordered food.
Hahahaha! Yeah is quite a special restaurant ;)
UPDATE: NOV 2019
NO RENTALS AT GRAND PALACE, buy outside for less than half the price.
I have gone once in my life and it was nov 2019. 50 bht for pants outside, but 200 bht inside after going through the long line. More of a scam inside than out.
Thx for the useful update!
Excellent video, thanks for posting, much appreciated. New sub : )
Good stuff,great advice,keep it up.
Thanks for watching!
Photocopy passport never give over your passport
Most European passports that are photocopied can be used for identity theft very easily. The BSN/SoFi needs to be blanked out or use a black marker to make it unreadable. If I get that number, I can get €5000 loans and make you pay my taxes extremely easily.
Sounds scary, this country is full of conmen
Don't listen to this guy. I spent 2 months in se Asia, 4 countries. And I gave over my passport about 15 times. By the end of my trip I still had it. Don't be fuckin stupid, make sure the people you are giving it to are safe and reliable. Such as a hostel, or getting a visa at a border. But if someone asks for your passport for something stupid like a boat ride, deny that immediately. And as for photocopying it, that is much much worse then handing it over to someone
kiddie smalls you must be the biggest moron to leave your passport to these people, really man??? it's common sense!
It's advised that passport copies be brought when touring because if your items are stolen it will take days to get yourself a new passport. Just make sure to never give the copy to anyone to avoid identity theft.
17 trips to Thailand.... heading back in 2019.......
Really? And you didn't have any problems with immigration?
I had a terrible experience while TRYING TO ENTER Thailand. Got denied entry, because it was my third trip to Thailand this year. Immigration officer said I HAVE BEEN HERE TO MANY TIMES! Got detained at the airport for 48h and had to buy ticket to back to the UK :/
There were about 15 people in the detention room with me. No shower, couldn't change clothes after 12 hours filght, nightmare!
I will never come back to Thailand and wil be scared even to have layover at Bangkok airport!
Hey,
Thanks a lot for your valuable information. It helps everyone who is planning to visit Thailand. Appreciate your interest to call out areas where one need to be very careful.
+kalyan srinivas we are glad to hear that this video helps you in your preparation. Thanks for the nice comments!
Thank you 😊 for such a great video❤️
Thank you, we love your support! Have a safe trip :)
Good video. Not been to Thailand in almost 20 years.
Your girlfriend or travel companion is beautiful.... lucky dude.
Thanks for watching we just came back from our second trip there in 3 years and there is Grab Car now so now it's easy to avoid the taxi scams.
in my 10 years in thailand and the biggest scam i saw was guys falling in love with thai girls then the thai girl convinces the guy to build a house on her land. i know a few guys who lost a lot. dont matter if she is a prostitute/bargirl or not. they all run the same scam. thailand is a fun country and i will move back after my kids finish school. i am missing the durian.
We definitely agree that it's a fun country! if you do watch our Thailand Vlogs, we had tons of fun :) This video was made in the sole purpose to let first timers know a bit about the common scams practiced there. Thanks for watching!
yes you have made a useful video for sure. i think getting scammed is part of the experience and a fun story to tell on getting home, as long as it is not for too much money that is. thailand is a safe place as long as you dont have a temper problem. i would advise people to just not rent jetskis as that can turn out to be expensive. my 2 kids hare half thai so i will have to be careful not to be scammed by them. keep up the good work.
Yep. this scam is definitely the biggest and still going strong while foreign men cry like babies.
mike allen I knew a older guy who did that. He planned on retiring down there. He was wiring money to this sexy chick he met down there. Sent over $10,000 he told me. I don't know how much it costs to build a house there but he had a home here in the US too.
His friend would tell me that she's playing him but he doesn't want to listen. He told me that she told him to never come down there without telling her. That was suspicious to me & I told him that. Anyway, he retired & went down there without telling her. She knew when he planned his retirement. She was nowhere to be found once he got there.
He overstayed his visa looking for her I guess & ended up losing his home here in the US doing it. So he moved in with a friend in his basement. One day on my way to work, our mutual friend had told me that he died.
I asled how?? Well, he trip down the stairs to the basement. Shit is sad. Retires, gets scammed out of $10,000 plus, gets scammed out of love, loses his home & breaks his neck falling down stairs at a friend house.
This happened about 5 years ago man.
Mutual Decline That's so sad!
Great recommendations! thank you!
Thank you so much for watching. We hope our vlogs will help you out in your travels :)
Informative. Thank you!
+balitang visdak you're most welcome! Let us know what you think of our Bali vlogs :)
Thank you! I just learned SO much! Going to Thailand in January
We also have a complete guide for Thailand in our playlist if you need more information, have a safe trip!
@mishymo You gotta check out Krabi and the spectacular islands there (especially Koh Hong) and see if you can trek through the jungle in Chaing Mai. Enjoy your holiday. And next time, hit up Bali.
@mishymo So am I going solo and my 1st time, I’m an American with an Asian race...I’m not sure if my race is an advantage or the other way around.
@@youngforever9143 Your race doesn't matter, your energy does. What you put out in to the world will come back to you. Spread love, have fun and return home with priceless memories.
Thanks. BTW, beautiful couple.
Thank you so much! We are preparing a complete guide for Thailand if you are planning a trip there, stay tune! Wish you a good trip!
Great review thanks!
nicely produced video and couple. Thanks for the information.
Thanks for watching! We hope this is helpful to your trip planning.
You should be wearing helmets on that scooter man 😩 $2 helmet for a $2 head
Worked and travelled in Japan and I can say I do not know of a single scam.
+TheDutyPaid Japan have a very strong sense of ethic and honor
TheDutyPaid You obviously didn't go out where bars and clubs are. Japan drink scams are very well known.
TheDutyPaid
"Buy me drink girl" in Japan. Very dangerous...
Every country has them, even Japan!
There are scam in Japan too. Both by locals and foreigners.
Great video. All good advice.... just be aware!
Thanks we love to hear from your feedback!
Just like and subscribed. Thank you. Really enjoyed your video
Fun fact : Some buildings from a temple is fully made of gold
Nice you made the last lady famous now :p
+genki guhji hahahahha! Yes, i wish i had her email to send her this video. She was really helpful with us.
Takyo Travel liars go to hell, what she said did not even come close to what you translated it to.
Very informative. Thanks for sharing your views 😘
+bloscher22 dmello22 we hope to help other travelers. Thailand still a beautiful country with honest peoples🖒 thanks for watching!
Thanks so much, really helpful.
+Mika'eel Lackay you're most welcome sir! So glad you enjoyed the video!
In the Bali serie, vlog 12 and 13 are also about some scams in indonesia if you're interested. Happy week end!
Easier way for taxi:Take yellow and green coloured taxi,they are qualified by the government for their family background.i think it is three generations before cannot have any crime background.BTW,tuk tuk ride only cost 10 baht
Thank you so much for you input, I'm sure this will help many other travellers :)
Takyo Travel I am in pattaya now, living in mera mare
10th to 14th sept 2019 krabi trip. My tutuk ride cost 100bhat for a 700m ride!
Great video. Thank you.
Thank you so much! We improved a lot in our filming & editing since that first video, hopefully you'll take a look at our more recent production and let us know what you think.
good stuff bro, great channel
Thank you so much for your support, have a fantastic week end :)
There's a saying I'm the airline industry...."Man who goes through a turnstile sideways is going to Bangkok"
LOL!
It's funny because that women at the end has would have no idea that 800,000 people will have watch her do that she just chuckled when she was told she's famous now
Haha, we always feel like it’s so random with youtube. Some of our most popular videos are our first ones when the latest ones are so much better quality wise since we upgraded the gear & editing tools... you never know which video youtube choose to promote 🤷♀️
Thanks for watching!!! Have a great week end.
Well i thoroughly enjoyed that 👍 thumbs up from me and what was that great song just before the end ? I had to go back to it a couple of times it was so good
Hi, thank you for the nice comments and the thumbs up, it really means a lot for us. All the songs we used are credit in our video description. The song you asked is ''Summer moments - Original mix.
Have a good weekend!
Thank you for the great video and all information.
May I ask where she got the teal dress? I love it!
Thanks for watching. We found it at Asiatique night Market in Bangkok, was around 1000baht.
Oh man. Just save yourself trouble and stay home or go Japan instead.
loll! Is not that bad, still a beautiful country, and not all Thai are scammers
but too much to enjoy Thailand
KuruKuruGorilla Japan is amazing but much more pricey. And there are a lot of scammers too at night in some districts called street touts(usually Japanese & Jamaican men) who'll bother you non-stop on the street.
mic300391 Jamaïcain scammers in Japan ?? Really?????
Ben88 yup.
Always wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle. Also, AIRBNB is only legal in Thailand if the rental is at least 30 days. If u use AIRBNB be careful.
This is valuable information, thank you very much!
That might vary on location, actually. I live in Phuket and had some Aussie friends come and stay with us a few days. Later I drove them to a place they booked on AIRBNB that was nearer the beach (at least I think it was AirBNB), and they'd booked for 10 days or something like that.
Anyone renting for less than 30 days must obtain a hotel license which is very difficult. Most AIRBNB in Thailand are operating outside the law and subject to criminal action. Renters could be evicted without compensation since AIRBNB requires them to follow all laws.
Good to learn. Thanks for that.
Very helpful vlog. Big thanks bro
Thank you so much for your feedback. Im editing right now a guide to travel Thailand with tips and advice for good spot. Is coming next. Thx for watching and have a good weekend!
Thanks Takyo, I will remember your advises.
We hope you have a beautiful trip in Thailand :)
Jet ski scam is most common
Enkuush P no the testicular scam is more common trust me
Wow smooth videography.
Thanks for the nice comment! It's very encouraging for us :)
Great video thanks for sharing!
Totally Wonderful! Thanks so much...Going there as soon as my Passport is renewed!
They no longer loan clothes at the grand palace
what?? thanks for the update. Do they charge for it now or do they just let you go in whatever you're wearing?
No, they do not have clothes, so if you're not dressed appropriately you don't get in, simple as that. They are now VERY strict. This is a recent change. Previously like you said I loaned clothes and you could get into the entrance part of the palace and either change your clothes or loan their clothes, now you can't even get in the first gate. Also there is nowhere outside you can change, there are no toilets outside you can use unless you eat in one of the restaurants. So come fully covered or you won't be allowed to enter.
Thanks for your input. We hope this situation will change. Or they allowed people to wear scarf
So what is completely covered ? Short sleeve shirt and shorts or skirt to the knees ok? Or do they want wants and long sleeve shirt??
Aw that lady in white at the end!:) I haven't visited Thailand since I was very young so I don't really remember. I'm adopted from Thailand but I was less than 3 months old. I hear from a lot of other Danes that they kind of know that they're being scammed but they justify it to themselves by saying that it's still cheaper for x amounts of weeks in Thailand than the same amounts of weeks just living normally in Denmark. I appreciate your advice though.
I'm not big on destinations that are too touristy, but of course I have to see Bangkok since that's where I was born - according to my birth certificate.
Aww thank you for sharing in our community a personal chapter in your life. Thailand has some more quiet and less touristy island too. We just came back not too long. You might like to see Koh Lanta island!
This is amazing video. Thanks!
+The Captain thanks Captain! We did many more videos on Thailand, Philippines and Bali if you're interested!
Have a beautiful week end 👌
Takyo Travel. I'm traveling to Osaka Japan this coming November and maybe go to Thailand for a few days. Thanks again for the great info and have a great weekend as well.
Thank you!!! I liked your vlog!
Thank you so much for the kind comment. Happy sunday!
Thanx- so beautiful
Glad you like the video, wish you a wonderful trip if you plan to go there!
your videos are pretty cool and i bet help beginners to these areas for sure. i would submit there are no more scams in Thailand than the Philippines or Vietnam. in my experience, people *let* others take advantage of them. like you, I never felt scammed. i like to think positive energy attracts the same... who knows ;-) ..i'll just keep traveling!
+Live My Ass Off hahahaha thanks for the positive comment. I agree with you that some of us do better instinctively on avoiding scams. Sometimw i dont mind paying a bit higher, i consider this like a donation. I just feel very bad for tourist who got into loosing couple of hundreds and a part of fun in there traveling. Thats why we made this video.
Thank you so much for your opinion. We love to see what people think of our subjects.
AS ALWAYS GREAT VIDEO AND INFORMATIVE.......
+Steve Graham thanks!! We had a great time in thailand and wanted to help other travelers have a great time as well.
Thanks for sharing. Very useful
Thank you so much for your support!
nice information, but please wear a helmet while riding motorcycle, or else you will end up in disaster if foreigner caught by law officer.
Yeah, this is so true. It can cost a lot, plus they can retain your bike if you don't have the money on the spot.
Me and my boyfriend were a victim of this effin tuktuk scam. Lesson learned.
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you had a beautiful trip overall. Stay safe!
Nice video and thanks for the information :)
+Th Lim thanks for letting us know! Have a good week!
Guys your video is amazing. Looking for more
one advice wear helmet while riding a bike...
+Vijay Nair that is one very good advice!
Sorry for all the side comments, Takyo. Can't sleep tonight and I like your helpful video... My advice for anyone who plans on riding in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, or Laos is to bring your own helmet, preferably one manufactured in Australia, the UK, or the US. I mean no disrespect to any of these countries, but helmets are not made to the same standard as they are in the west. The "eggshell" helmets that often accompany rentals or even with a local rider you might use in Bangkok for example so that you can skip through traffic just aren't safe by comparison. I know it is a major hassle to have to haul a helmet around on a holiday, especially with flights and the rest, but I can't stress the importance of this enough, especially if your holiday is going to have you on the road for a significant amount of time. Travel safely, everyone.
Don't be sorry for the side comment lol! Is a very interesting idea that you brought. I never thought of bringing my own helmet. But it's so true what you said. The helmet standard in asia are not comparable to western standard. It can really ruin your vacation. If the person is not experimented, the motorbike is not recommended. Better spend a little more on taxi then emergency hospital ;)!
Exept if you are like in kolanta so quite there.
If you rent a scooter CHECK THE BRAKES!
Dude, you shouldn't be riding a motorbike in Thailand without a helmet. Actually, you shouldn't do that anywhere. Really great advice otherwise. Local Thais are wonderful and friendly, and all they ever ask is that you treat them in a kind way and with respect. I love living here. My Mexican side loves the spicy food!
I can agree more than that! An accident can really ruin your holydays. Plus no need to talk about the problem with law enforcement. Your comment is very true and I only wish more farang would understand this and go over the scammers and meet these beautiful people, and OMG their cuisine is so delicious!
From the numbers that come out of the tourism bureau every year, millions of people from over over the world overlook rumours of scams and come to Thailand anyway.
This is an amazing place, but like all places you have to use common sense and be respectful of the people. The Thais will return your good nature for sure.
we all should make travel videos like this it's so much informative and you know a lot which prepares you for the travel..
merci Monsieur et la madam :-)
+Nimish Nayak awww...this is such a nice comment for us. Yes we really thing that sharing info like this would help many travelers. Makes the travel more safe too. Merci beaucoup a vous!
