***We realized after uploading that we had some audio issues. If you're using headphones make sure you use both, since the sound is only coming out of one side. :/ Sorry!!!
I just returned from a trip where I had a checked bag, a usual carry-on roller bag, and backpack for 5-day trip. Definitely over packed and had several article of clothing that didn't use yet was heading to where it was cold. Thailand sounds super nice! Thanks for the tips as would have done the whole bug spray and medicine/probiotics.
@@calliet7893 Ahh there's always a few things we never use! We're trying to get better at packing lighter. If you ever go to Thailand now you'll know what to pack! 🤗💜😘 Thanks for watching!
I seen another video that a guy made about Thailand and he says absolutely do not leave your passport with these people they will bribe you and everything else to get it back

Really helpful, appreciated, I also visits countries as I am merchany navy officer, your videos are helpful for me ,how to capture or and showing the aspects, my channel name is : ( ahsan ship wala)
Thanks
I lived in Thailand for 12 years .One point i would correct you on is to never give your passport when you are renting a scooter/small motorcycle.Just give them a photo copy plus a deposit usually one or two thousand baht .
Dont rent scooters far far better advice.
@@louisdisbury9759 I agree if you have no riding experience .
It happened to me in Koh Phangan they wouldn’t accept any other form of “deposit” other than the passport which kinda made me feel uneasy but everything went alright, they did try to blame me for a scuff that was already there on the handle good thing I took photos and video all around the scooter 😅
My tip for Thailand, don't spent too much money on luxury hotels, use it for travelling or at least for guided trips.
Makes the holiday a lot more interesting and fun, unless you are a 100% beach person.
Thanks..
I love the video, informative, fun and understandable. Myself coming from Germany lived in Portugal, the Canary Islands and since 22 years in Florida and now on my way to move to Thailand in 2021, every bit of information is appreciated.
Bugs and mosquitoes are my biggest concerns while traveling in the tropics! Thank you thank you for your tips and advise. No where else could I find travel tips on such subjects, your video is really helpful!
Really liked your video.. confirming some points and giving some useful info. Thanks
Helpful info. Thanks for putting this together for your fellow travelers' benefit.
Totally agree with your sunscreen and cash advice. Years ago when we didn't have an ATM card that refunded the fees, we were shocked by the ATM fees over there.
Thank you for this, my husband & I will be traveling in Asia for a few months and this was very helpful.
Your explanation was perfect. Well structured and easy to follow. I'll certainly use this information to teach my son. Thanks a lot! ❤
You're absolutely right.👍
Awesome info and very well organised list .. thanks 😊
thanks for the info!
Thank You, Great tips to have on mind.
Great information in this video. Well done, you two. You're a good team.
Bring plenty of cash or as much as you are allowed, for Canada its 10,000 in cash although I would avoid the max amount.
Next, bring a carry on suitcase, avoid big cases, bring several pairs of underwear, socks, few pairs of shorts and short sleeve shirts, shaving gear and whatever toilet accessories you prefer. Keep in mind, you will probably buy a large suitcase and more than enough stuff to fill it when you leave on your return trip home. There are shops you can walk in pay a few baht to use a computer, no need to bring a laptop or any electronics unless you have to. Go to a bank, open a bank account and put your cash in, get a bank withdrawal card and use it while you travel around Thailand. Many places will not accept credit cards, DO NOT use ATM's as they eat cards and you are stuck without one. Go to a bank and use over the counter withdrawals only.
Foreigner can open a bank account in Thailand?
@@pathao9719 I think he means a foreigner can go to a bank and the bank will handle the exchange. If he would like to have 8,000 BHT, the bank can charge his Canadian credit card (for a fee) and he will get his BHT. He can pay the credit card off once he is home.
@LaSouthernGemini he said open a bank account in Thailand put your cash in there, get withdrawal from the bank
Thanks for the info. Definitely useful stuff for all the travellers. 🙌 Smile more
Thanks for the tips !!
Thank you for sharing your insights. Have to say though: I was in Koh Phangan last year and found that my hotel was not quite up to date regarding outlets. I finally found an adaptor, but wasn't easy!
Wow. Really? Good to konw! Thanks!
Thanks for a great video, very practical information which is helpful for my upcoming trip to Thailand 👌
This will be my first time going to Thailand. Thank you so much for sharing these tips they were very helpful.
For anyone watching, the cheap sunglasses can be dangerous. You need polarized lenses to avoid UV damage, but often cheap sunglasses are just dark plastic, which the open your iris even wider, increasing UV damage. Always get certified polarized lenses!
Thanks
For the sun?
@@spookyblack7526 Yes
Polarised lenses do not inherently filter UV
Seriously doubt that. The cheapest sunglasses I have ever seen are UV blocking. And polarized has nothing to do with UV blocking, those are 2 completely different things.
Thank you for the great tips!👍🏻

Great video. Very informative. Thanks! Anything you can add about Drone usage over there?
This is the best what to and not to pack video I've seen. However, there are a few things people should know. Cheap clothes often bleed a lot in the wash. Cheap sunglasses often have defects, so examine them carefully. And most important is, NEVER surrender your passport to a hotel or bike rental or any other business. NEVER! Allow them to make a copy or provide them with a copy, but NEVER let them hold your passport! They may put up a fight, but ultimately they know you can refuse. This is a common way to steal passports, so don't take that risk. Also, if you have a smart phone you can keep photos of your picture page and visa stamps on it. This will be fine for most things, if you have the passport back in your hotel room safe.
I know thailand, but that was a great video, thumbs up
Excellent video - really helpful, cheers.
In thailand you just bring your passpost money and mobile phone .they have everything you need . Please smile first when you talk to thai people beacuse thailand is land of smile . You smile it easy to talk :)
I’m a physician. I was just in Thailand for the 21st time in the past 14 years. Huge advice to all….buy travelers insurance. The private hospitals are good. The public, not so much. My friend was in a motorbike accident, spent 6 days in a public hospital (he did not have insurance). Horrible experience and care. I literally ran his care in consultation with his doctor. If I was not there, my friend had would have had major issues. Also…totally agree with the motor bike rental stuff. DONT ever leave your passport, leave cash deposit. If they say they won’t take cash deposit, go to another motorbike place. Also, you definitely need an international drivers license. And always wear your helmet. They won’t ticket Thais but foreigners will get ticketed.
Excellent video. Very informative. 👍
Thanks for the tips..
Thanks for watching! 😀
I almost Happy 😭😭😭😭
Alhamdulillah!! 💖💖💖💖
Love love love from Thailand
I felt your sincerity i thank you always keep in touch , best wishes and happy Eid to you and your family
Thank you! We have so many wonderful memories of Thailand! :)
Good stuff 🔥
Thank you
Great video guys you’re advice is spot on heading back for my third time in October one thing I thought of that you might have mentioned is a travel size packs of wet wipes The bathroom situation in many places even nice restaurants tend to have the towel hanging near the door that everybody has used pretty disgusting so having the wet wipes with you can definitely make your trip feel much cleaner
Thats true. I guess over time we kind of get used to barely ever drying our hands after washing them. :D But wet wipes and hand sanitizer is a great idea!
what is thew weather like in october because we are planning our holiday that time :)
Thank you very much indeed.
😄✈🗺
Always bring with you your phone for translation purposes.. Its number 1 a must in Thailand.
dieses video war mega hilfreich danke!!
My partner and I are travelling to Thailand from South Africa, I was worried about the adapters and all the cash that needs to be withdrawn. This was fun to watch and SUPER helpful as I was overthinking the things I need to pack! Thank you so much!
Thank you.❤️💕🇺🇸
:) :) :)
Thanks for the help
Very useful information!
Thank you....
:) :) :)
Thanks for your Tips.
Which Health Insurance from US works best in Thailand and surrounding countries ..?
great video, thanks.
New subscriber. Great vlog. We travel to Thailand once or twice a year for the past 8 years or so. We started with huge suitcases full of things we never needed and now we take a backpack each and travel light. I laugh when I think of what we use to take. 🤣
Haha nice!! It always amazes us how we can still pack stuff and never use it no matter what our luggage size is! 😂
i always say the next time im flying il bring only what im wearing and buy what i need but its so hard to do.
Yes, agreed... Been there a couple times, both times swore I would travel lighter NEXT time.
I'm coming back again next month, not even going to have a checked bag. Will buy whatever clothes and supplies I need when I get there.
In my carry-on bag, the qualifier is absolute necessity AND uncertainty that I can't just get it at an open market or 7/11 upon arrival. Really, that doesn't leave much.
Besides, it's good to help out the local merchants.
If you want to bring stuff BACK in a checked bag, you can usually find good quality luggage THERE for less than you would pay in the U.S.
great advice!!!
Thanks! If you're headed to Thailand soon, then have a great trip!
This was great. Thanks. :)
Great tips!
Oh and Vielen Dank. Ganz Toll!
Great info.
Good info!!
thx !!
Thank you!
Thanks guys for those Info!! ;)
I love thailand , thanks for best clip.
Hi Guys! THANK YOU for your video and all these great tips. Can you please explain the tech & apps a little more? what exactly do i need to do to be able to use my apps? I cant use my phone?
Good hints.
Most informative video ever
Going to Thailand this week for about 3 weeks
What concerns me the most is the cash
I'm coming from US
So, should I bring all the money I'm planning to spend there in cash then exchange it over there?
And course I'm not gonna carry all the cash with me at all time
Should I just leave most of the cash in hotel safety vault?
Is the vault safe?
hi there , my question is the debit card very important to use for paying to the hotel or it have to be in cash ? the rate of withdraw money from ATM is it high ? is there any specific ATM machine does not take aextra fees ?
Thanks!
Great tips! We’re heading there in November thanks!!
Edelmen Anduyan that would be great!
Edelmen Anduyan are you guys there full time? We’re starting off in Bangkok arriving the 29th! We’d love to collab!
Thank you. I be in Thailand soon.
