Thank you jimmy and tah..very informative..I will be in Bangkok this june 6 with my daughter..very helpful😊
Have fun and be safe in my country the Philippines
What about vaccins?. tbc and rabies. These 2 were recomended to me by my doctor. especially for rabies, my doctor said transportation of live vaccins are difficult, if not cooled right they spoil. Which may result in an unreliable treatment, now with the vaccination a simpel antibiotic will suffice...
How about bringing a drone in Thailand?
Do you know what I like the most about watching you guys, is that your videos are still simple and nice. Not over edited, not too much trying to be funny or over "energetic" and this authentic vibe of just two people doing what they love not just for the gram is so rare lately with travel videos :)
I agree! Jimmy and Tah are very natural, no fake or staged acting like in some travel videos on TH-cam. Watching Jimmy and Tah makes me feel like I’m having a laid back conversation with friends.
so true
Agreed 100%. They are awesome & very simple.
Spot on! Going to Thailand for the first time in Feb, Loving these videos
Absolutely
to bring to Thailand 1. good thinking, good saying, good doing, 2. generosity 3. good sense of humor.
on point ! hahahah
I agree
Agreed. Best wishes from England

Everyday I would go to 7 eleven and buy a cold drink and hit them with big notes, they always had change, I would have a big pile of smaller notes which always come in handy buying from street vendors and small businesses
YES! Super helpful information! Most vendors don't have that kind of change or small notes so thanks for the tips!! Always great to hear from you and know what you think!
Divert Living always love your videos, glad to add some useful input
jonnywaselectric Can you get a mix smaller notes at the exchangers?...and do atm's only give out large notes? (When withdrawing large sums)
Jason Worldwide Productions exchangers usually have the larger bills, you can ask them if they have some smalls, and atms usually give large notes too
jonnywaselectric Good to know, thank you.
Epic ass video ♥️♥️ planning my trip you both were more than helpful!!
Thank you.... totally subbed!
Im flying to Thailand tonight! Thank you! This is a great video! 👌 so helpful!
Thank you ! glad it helps you ! have a safe flight !:D
Thanks for the info. Experience is the best teacher.
Hey Jo! We sure do think so!
Thank you for the great information 👍😊!!!!!
Of course! Thank you for watching!
Great tips, sensational footage guys..
Thank you so much! We hope to do an informational video every week!
Cool.
Great video! Love seeing other couples traveling/having a channel together !
Aww thank you so much!
Thanks. we might be visiting Thailand in October. this was very informative. great video. I love the local aspect and point of view.
Thank you so much Steve! Enjoy Thailand!
hey, great little video! I've lived in Bangkok for 2 months and eating 99% street food. This was 2 weeks after my appendix operation (and I was recommended not to go to Thailand actually by my surgeon). I was sick exactly once : After eating at a 'high end' Italian restaurant. So if you're often sick after eating street food, two things can have happened. 1) You're eating at the wrong spots, or eating the wrong food. If it isn't baked, fried, cooked, grilled or steamed right in front of you, DON'T EAT IT. For fruits I stick to fruits that I get out of shells/hulled/are prepared in front of you if possible (But I'm less strict about this, especially not in the malls where there's airconditioning). 2) Eat only from streetstalls where you see local, Thai people eat. And preferably with a queue. Places that have mostly tourists, or nobody : Avoid. 3) If you still suffer from stomach trouble regularly (more than 1x per month or so) then I'd say that your immune system isn't great, and particularly your stomach flora is in a very poor condition. I took high-strength probiotics the month before heading to Thailand, and took it daily while there. Also I brought oregano-oil capsules for those foods that were not according to my schedule, or I couldn't check the freshness as reliably. Hope these tips help for your next time to Thailand / Bangkok !
Such good information Michael! Thank you!
Great advice!
Great tips. Cheers, mate!

Very informative.
We are trying to do one information based video a week! Think this could be helpful!
I'm travelling to Thailand in 2020 and these types of content are very helpful. ขอบคุณ
So happy you find it helpful!
I watched tons of travel tips before I went to Thailand
Great tips and info. My favorite store when I visit Bangkok is Big C. They've got everything!
They really do have everything
YES ! -- Big C is DEFINITELY where to get anything you may need , It`s like a Huge shopping mall W/ a Walmart attached !
Thank you for the video!! I hope my travel vlog can get as good as yours!
Aww keep working hard!
I’m volunteering in Phuket in the summer and I am SO EXCITED to explore this beautiful country.
Ahh you will love it! Such a beautiful place!
Super helpful video & looks like a awesome time. My wife & I are flying out to Phuket & surrounding area next week for 13 days. We are super excited as this will be our 1st big international vacation. I'm counting down the time to get there. I"m also hoping to make a couple fun short hiking videos from our trip that we will be doing while in Thailand.
Love you 2 really happy and know what to do and what not to do in Bangkok or anywhere. Love your channels will keep watching. Love Thailand so beautiful so many people I know went and never negative comments.
Ahh it really is beautiful there! Thank you so much for watching!
Great suggestions! I am here now. I have been for a year. Pack for beach, boating, swimming, climbing, hiking or whatever activities you love. With clothes less is more. It’s easy and cheap to see doctors if you need them. Bring quality sandals, good phone, great camera. GoPro is waterproof. I recommend this.
The soutracks are always-on point ↖️ 👌🏿❤️
Planning our trip thanks for the advise guys. really helpful farang Jimmy lol
I have went to Bangkok aka Thailand 3 times and in my experience Thailand is a very welcoming place love itttt please go there 😊
We love it as well!
Regarding jackets: Other reasons for needing a jacket - like a hoodie or shacket (unlined jacket that’s halfway between jacket and shirt) are if you’re going on the train or a bus or car with other people who control the AC. A shawl (pashmina type) might also help. Some shops are really cold also.
Yea thats so true! Transportation is normally cold!
Some nice information guys. Will be surely useful :)
Thank you!! We tried to make it the most useful coming from both our point of view!
I've been in Thailand after my vacation (as OFW from Kuwait) 2008 if i did remember right I stayed for one day in Novo Hotel (a nice room and great food), then after that I flight back to Kuwait for continuation of my employment and contract.But I have my first glance to Thailand at their city Bangkok, that was March 2006. It is only for transit purpose, we stay in simple hotel just one night, for our next day flight going/bound to Kuwait for employment.
guys hi! I love your videos simple,entertaining,with good taste plus you guys make a beautiful couple.I'am planning to visit Thailand soon when is consider high/low season?.Thank you keep up the good work
Thank you so much! High season tends to be in the winter
I always bring Aleve. Its for body aches and pains- much better that anything else. I met a local (in his 70's) that couldn't raise his arm above his shoulder, he was shocked how well it worked, I use it if I get lower back ache or whatever. also good for mensural cramps in some cases. ( I sound like an ad, but they really do work)
haha This is great advice! Ill make sure to grab some for our trips!
?? You can get illegal shit in pharmacies here ....
Great vid. Don't know about the ibuprofen I bought some at the mall in chiang mai.
Ahh ok! Thank you so much!
THANK YOU for posting this!! My fiance and I are going to Thailand for our honeymoon and I need all the tips I can get. :)
Of course! Hope it helps!
You two are the best. Whitening in the products is crazy but i could do with bleaching my under arms. Great advice all round thank you xxx
Thank you so much!
Dont bring bug spray. Only local stuff works on the buggers over there haha
Lol
I take Jungle spray and go to Pak Chong regularly, it works for me, you'll always get a couple of bites but never had any issues when i use this spray 👍
thanks guys!
You can only bring 30 days of a prescription, but it is easy to get refills if you plan to stay longer. Cheap clothes often bleed in the wash and ruin all the other clothes. The whitening thing is BS. Thais buy into it thinking it will work, but it really doesn't. Also, usually there are comparable products offered without the whitening ingredients and they are cheaper. I agree about the sun screen. You are totally wrong about Ibuprofen it is available in any pharmacy in varying strengths and very cheap. No prescription required. Thais usually call it profen. I'm not surprised she hasn't heard of it. Most Thais think Tylenol is the cure for everything and it is available in 7-11. Everyone wears jeans, but if you are not acclimated to the hot weather shorts are preferred. However, if visiting the temples, you may be required to wear long pants. Do not bring E cigs. In BKK and other popular tourist areas the cops are on the look out and it will cost you a ton of money if caught. In BKK they are even paying the taxi drivers a substantial finders fee to turn people in.
Wow thats crazy David! I never knew that about the E cig thing! Tahs brother has one and had never had issues with it before
Thanks for this awesome video. But can I take Iburpofen like Advil with me to BKK? Can I also bring Loperamide? Since the brand I knew only works for me. Just a 10pcs since I will be doing a lot of walking for tours. Thanks in advance for answering.
You two are still doing a good job.
Thank you so much!
Tah was looking at a pack of ibuprofen at the start of the video! It's sold over here under the brand Nurofen.
hahha i thought it is different thing jimmy asked for ibuprofen and she said she had only that nurofen 😂😭
So glad I read your comment, @celtosaxon! I have always wondered why I couldn't find ibuprofen in Thailand. Now I know to ask for Nurofen. Thanks you so much!
From one Jimmy to another .....you are a lucky guy. I plan to visit Phuket, and hope to meet someone as nice and pretty as your lady. The advice you just gave us is invaluable. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much Jimmy!
Hay! Super helpful video! What do you recommend as a mosquito repellent? Can I buy a good one there of should I bring some from Holland? Thanks!!
Aww thank you so much! Order Ben's Bug spray off line it comes in an orange container
Awesome, thanks for this video. Good job covering things. Shoot, sunscreen...here in the US it's ridiculous, now, as well. I wanted to get a 3 oz size to bring in carry on...$10 at Wal-Mart . Good info about ibuprofen...I just bought the huge bottle to bring cause I was afraid I couldn't get it there... guess it was a good decision. Thanks again👍
Hey Jason! Yea ibu is impossible to get they have a knock of version but best to bring it from home! Thanks so much for watching! Hope it was helpful!
Great vlog 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
Thank you !
Wish you find this helpful Malica !:)
Wow, Lime in the coconut..you got great musical taste.. Did not have a clue that it gets so cold in Thailand. I thought Bangkok was more humid than the Philippines but you did say north Thailand..
The north get really cold! I was really surprised as well!
Hey, never been to Thailand, very good tips, thanks
Thank you so much!
Good tips! Thank you :-)
Aww so happy you find them helpful!
fuuny pair but intresting video, please make more of your travels available.
All our travels are available :)
Yet another much more informative thsn any other video loving it ... you are really down to earth un yuppie un insta couple and that makes it somthing much more relatable ... so many people do carry on bag snd cheap hostels but then carry 3 bags and checkin to expensive accommodation. thank you am going in March after India and before Morocco and feel great about going now Lynn 🍹If you ever have a moment I really want to pay cash at accomodation .. do they take reservations direct so dont have to keep on paying online first? Thank you!
Ahh you can book with booking.com and pay upon arrive. I think thats what you mean
good tip guys
Thank you so much! we would like to do an information video every week! What do you think?
Divert Living yes please. Great help to travelers
This is definitely very helpful. I'll go TMI here but what is used commonly for menstrual cramps? and what do you guys use to edit your videos? I love the style of it.
Ill ask tah for you and Get back to you! But we use Final Cut for 10
Great video
The pants! If you’re a guy wanting to enjoy the night life I heard some of the clubs require pants and a shirt that covers your shoulders. Could be helpful! 😀
Ahh some do or dress shorts
I see that you guys got a lot of nice drone footage from Thailand, I'm thinking of bringing my drone there, where can I look up the locations were I'm allowed to fly? Also do I have to register my drone in Thailand or something?
Beautiful couple
I went to Jamaica, and the fleas on the beach at night left 1,000 bites on each leg. They sold a tiny little spray bottle for $18. It was enough for two people for maybe 3 nights just on lower legs. I would imagine Thailand this would be a good idea too?
Excellent 👍
Thank you!
I only took a weeks worth of clothes. I'd ask the hotel ladies (stayed at multiple hotels in different cities) to wash my clothes every 5 days. I only took One backpack and carry-on bag. I also took disposable plastic panchos in case it rained + it was Thai New Year also so there's that =)
yes! Its so nice traveling with less clothes! Makes things easier!
Another great and informative video. I was wondering about what medicines to bring and your video just answered all my questions. Thanks Jimmy and Nong Tah for this great video!!!I was in Phuket recently. Maybe someone is looking for a cheap car now and cannot fly from Phuket, because of COVID-19. I want to recommend and thank the guys from ORANGE CAR PHUKET service. I did not want to take a taxi because of the high cost. On March 15, 2020, I rented two passenger vans Toyota Sienta for 500 baht a day, and it was a great idea. Excellent customer service. The guys were very friendly and helpful and I booked the car easily and quickly. I highly recommend their service and I will definitely contact them again!
I went to Thailand for 4 weeks and hit 4 cities in Thailand. I took with me 3 pairs of everything and did my laundry at cities and just washed my socks and under ware in hotel sinks. Everything fit within a carry on bag. I would recommend you bring electrolyte packets for your water. They fit in a pocket and are needed for those hot muggy days...trust me!! BAM
Electrolyte packets can be purchased at any pharmacy and they are very cheap.
Iboprofen is easy to find. Have bought it OTC at Watsons and Boots.
Tylenol (acetomenofen, paracetamol) is little more than a placebo. It has no anti-inflamatory properties.
Best anti-motion medication is meclizine. Haven't seen it here in Bangkok but can get it at Walmart in US for $1.47 for pack of 8 pills. The diphenhydramine sold here works but will put most people to sleep.
this video is very helpful I'm actually going on my first trip to Bangkok in November but I was thinking about bringing my own medicine from United States how is the weather for November
Its perfect then
Thanks very informative. A bunch of us are flying out to Bangkok and Phuket in January for 10 nights from the U.K. and now know what not to pack, also laundry being I guess there’ll be no need to over loading the suitcase. Cheers mate ! Ps, what drone are you using in your videos ? As I am thinking of taking one with me..
Of course! At this point in time we had the P3 but now we shoot with the mavic
I'll be leaving for Thailand tomorrow. I'll be bringing the mavic 2 pro for video while I'm there. That drone is so travel friendly and the image is so clean!
Your videos are awsome. Is there any issue with getting the GoPro accessories aboard in-cabin luggage? Also, Excedrin which is a combo of acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine is the only pain killer that is effective for me. Is it readily available at 7-11? (I will be leaving here for Phuket on 19June2019) Thanks for a reply.
No there isn't problems with the Gopro stuff and yes it is effective and available:)
i was wondering what skin products do you use cause im also thai and im kinda having trouble clearing my skin
You can find Nurofen at any pharmacy or Gofen, which is Ibuprofen.
I'm glad I stumbled on your channel, you guys compliment each other so well.
35 years of travelling to Thailand and the whitening in every product makes me laugh.
Ahh it really is so interesting!
Oh I was just in Thailand and had no issues buying ibuprofen. Maybe cause it was the airport pharmacy? But it was a different brand name then I Canada. Language issues can make it hard to get, we had to show her on our cell phone.
Ahh yea i know what you mean
Don't know about being that cold in Chaing Mai during winter months. I've been there in February and it was quite warm at least for our taste. Living in the UK, probably that's why :)
hahaha yea im from NY so im used to it but when we were there it was pretty cold!
I have a good and different idea for u 2 for next trip, I am Colombian American but my parents born in Bogota, Colombia will see 4 seasons in 1 day. Pls look up Bogota but also with causation too. Mexico and Colombia people are humble and hardworking, prices always goes up . Have a good night hope to see video from Bogota, Colombia.
Ahh we hear its beautiful there! Would love to visit!
I'd recommend to pack activewear or gym style clothes that dry quickly are lightweight and breathe well for some outdoor activities like hiking or even when it's too hot ahah
Thats a great idea Steven! Thank you so much!
Divert Living hi! Is it okay to wear shorts and short dresses in Bangkok? I am going there next week for two weeks and I have heard the dress code is very restrict... no shorts, no see thru shorts, no short dresses or skirts... please help!
I’d say to be prepared for Thailand’s rain. I’m Irish, so we *know* a hundred types of rain - but the rain in Bkk wasn’t rain, it was like a power hose. A torrential blast greeted my very first step into the heart of Bkk from the airport train, and other times the rain was *so* it intense, it actually came through the window frame in the relatively new apartment I was staying in, partially flooding the bedroom! So, keep an eye on their crazily intense ‘rain’...
hahaha yea its a unique rain haha
What time of year was this??
Very useful, can’t wait to go ! Curiosity: to buy a mobile phone is cheaper than Europe ? Thanks !
I don't know how much the phone would cost in Europe but in Thailand you can get the cheap phone at around 30 dollars as far as I know
I literally never post on youtube, but I am going to Thailand for my first time in March 2019. I LOVE you guys! Great info!
Aww we cant wait to see it! Thank you so much for watching and letting us know!
Us too!!! In march as well!!!! See you around haha
Same hereeee!
us too! :)
Same here! In April tho I canst wait
Thank you to say about my country
Of course! We love it there!
What about presents from abroad for local friends you are planning to visit or stay with?
Ahh we are staying at Tahs house! So we are the only ones there!
