I’ve been traveling through Thailand, the last three weeks. I have decided not to bargain with anyone because from my home country the currency here is extremely cheap. I’m not rich man in the United States, but I can easily afford Thai prices without bargaining. It makes me happy to be able to support local thais and be an ecotourist
U can bargain and still live good the fact that all of u are trying to live luxury just because things are cheaper doesn’t make any sense because u aren’t lowering your cost of living that way🤔.
Love the 'Don't bargain for food' tip. Very respectful and totally agree!
I was born in Bangkok but haven't lived there more than fifty years ago I Hartley recognize the city anymore
After being away since the 1970's .
I appreciate you for sharing
Your Experience with me.
Now were you living
I think that tourists who behave badly, behave the same way in their own country. I went to Thailand right before the pandemic and the majority of tourists who were yelling, speaking loudly, and hogging places taking 10 minutes to take a photo, not caring they were blocking something scenic were not western tourists. They were so irritating that I filmed their yelling and screaming at Wat Pho. The people who wear bikinis and swim shorts in a mall are the same people who do it in their own country. I've seen them walking barefoot, sometimes wet or with sand on them walking around. They don't think they are being disrespectful, so they don't think they have to change their behavior while on vacation. Thanks for the reminders though.
Exactly
@@LiveLoveThailand isn't it illegal not to bring your passport always when you are in Thailand? Now I am confused 🥲 please enlighten me
@@elliev.9457 Having a photo of your passport, on your phone, is most often sufficient mate.
@@SpicyThaiTacos thank you, I appreciate your response

Spot on Arsen. Great video once again mate ☺👍
Three things are important: Respect, Respect and Respect! Most important: Never give Thais the impression of losing their face. Tx and stay safe 🙏🏼🇹🇭
PS. Agree with all points you mentioned Arsen!
I agree
Evening Klaus
You just lost your face with that comment
The feeling loosing their face? What does that even mean
What? Lmfao
A highly informative and enjoyable video! You describe basic concepts involving how to behave as a well-mannered guest, without talking down to the audience. Knowing the fundamentals of respect for another land's customs, beliefs, and norms of behavior is just a good idea wherever one goes
As someone who has lived and worked in Thailand off and on for 30 (I own a house in Chaiyaphum) I congratulate you on a good video. All in all better advice that you see on most of the videos.
Good advice Arsen. Love the soundtrack
Awesome and great advise Arsen. Well documented vlog
Cheers & thank you
That's like taking an advise from an Asian living in Europe who just moved to Europe 1y ago🤣
If u need advise ask the Thai people
Thank you! Be respectful. Simple, but great advice many forget
Hi Arsen, it’s a very informative video. Great job 👏🏻 anyway in the first few minutes of the video, What is the hotel name you staying ?
Thank you for your information, I have been here since last week, love all the food and having fun shopping.🙏
Wow thumbs up
Very wise smart advices to victors. You have touched all the critical points that need to be addressed.
Real Bravo
If i were in charge of Thai tourist services I would have hired you as tourist guide😁🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤❤❤
you are a god send! i have watched all of your vids and cant wait to visit in a few months.please can you upload a vid of your recommended sky bars in Bangkok?
Thai people like peaceful and quiet, please respect us. Thank you and enjoy Thailand. Welcome to Land of smile.
Specially at Songkran...
Respect and common sense goes a long way
Anywhere on the planet!
Great tips! Thanks for all the helpful advice. 👍
When with my friend we visited regularly a few old ladies stalls to buy food
Very informative as always. I am currently in Bangkok and witnessed a farang in the Sala Daeng area that got so wasted he slept on the steps in front of a shopping center and he end up rolling down the steps. Have fun but don't get like that. And definitely be careful on street food. I got the bug on my first day here and end up having to rest at my hotel for 2 days. No fun.
What would your advice be on avoiding or preventing getting the stomach bug
Also don’t call your fellow foreigners ‘farangs’. It’s really lame.
@@lebentotem Just chill out and be sensible. It's not that easy to get food poisoning in Thailand. Eating salad is fine and don't worry about ice cubes either. Eat at street food places that are busy.
@@markseymour8365why it’s really lame?
Thailand is a very nice country live. It's clean and very cheap food. Love from Philippines.
Love the Philippines. My GF is in Manila. Stay safe with the storm over there now.
That is excellent advice from the new travelers and also respect for the culture the
Thai people are not violence
Right others culture
It's so clean that I always bathe in the Klongs down at On Nut.
I spend the majority of my time in the night life areas and I see many farang make the same mistake over and over again. When it comes to bar girls, just because you buy them a drink DOES NOT mean you own them! They are there for WORK!. If she gets up to greet another farang, and she then sits with him, Do Not get upset! She is WORKING!! Understand? Don't let that self righteous, self entitled fragile ego put you on the wrong foot over $3.00.
Yes! That's right! They are working, you will understand them..if you learn to let go..and sit calmly and emotionally..you will find happiness,fun.
-I'm Thai people, wish you happiness and prosperity.
-Thai people love peace. and welcome tourists to our Thailand
🇹🇭🤘😍🤘😍🤘 🇹🇭
If you buy her a drink she should sit with you to drink it because that's part of her job. Obviously you don't own her but it would be rude if she got up and sat with someone else if you've just bought the drink.
@@michaelwilson8443 Your right it is rude, to the western way of thinking but your in Thailand, that culture has their own way of thinking on what is rude, friendly or how to behave when providing a service. You have to assimilate to them, not the other way around.
@@ericyucatan4472 not at all if you've bought them a drink (lady drink ) then you've paid 2x price for her company for a while. The local culture argument is nonsense cos its not geared around locals if you were to speak to the manager or mamassan they would put her in her place.
@@michaelwilson8443 If not enough staff He will have to take turns with other employees. Otherwise the manager will curse him.
Careful of cars and motorbikes when crossing the street or walking in the street (not walking path). In Thailand, cars usually not stop for pedestrians like in Japan.
Thanks for the video!! ❤
# 00 It is very important for everyone to respect their currency. The currency in Thailand, both paper and coin, bears a portrait of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej or a deceased relative. Do not step on a coin to stop it from rolling away or step on a Thai banknote to stop it from blowing away.
He hasn't been king for 6 years and his picture is no longer on the currency. Rama X is. Other than that, you're right about respecting the currenccy.

Booked and going in April 2023! Can' wait!
I'm here NOW 😍
Me too going for Songkran
It’s too hot in April
I was in Phuket in July & stayed in a 5 star resort for $28/day. I'm going back for a month in 2 days & rented a 2 bed/2 bath condo for 20,000 baht, about $530!!
5 star resort for 28 bucks a day ,name please
@@somekindaguy100 Andamantran Resort & Hotel, just down from Patong Beach. That was in July so, it might be more now, this is "high season."
Such a sincere tips vlog for every tourists.The one thing that truly annoys us when we are in Pattaya are those topless older men who walks around in the city area far away from the beach😅.Thanks for mentioning that.God bless.Looking forward for your helpful vlogs again.
Exactly
Thumbs Up 👍
Good tips for any trip to any location in the world ❤️
Great advice, not just for Thailand but for anybody or country.
good advice, thank you for sharing!
When I was in Thailand I didn’t see many smiles like you saying. In Philippines everybody smile at you and much easier to chat to strangers then in Thailand.
who cares, go and watch ur pinoy vids then instead of being here watching thai vids
Very true
Very good information
Thank you for information.
Thank you for another very informative vlog. Your vlogs are so great! keep up the good work. If I can sell my properties in the US, I hope to buy an apartment and a villa with swimming pool. If you can provide more info on the right type of Visa for my family, it would be great until then will definitely continue to enjoy your vlogs visit Thailand soon 🙂
I would add, that one should not insult the royal family, not to tread on coins/notes, and to ensure you are wearing underwear.
senang sekali bisa tahu informasi ini. sangat bermanfaat, terima kasih
Really, the advice is applicable wherever you travel. Also, never, ever, ever, ever disrespect the king in any way shape or form.
Getting drunk and being rude is frowned on in all countries☺
Very excellent advice, thank you so much.
Great Video, Spot on 🇹🇭👍🙂
The land of smiles, the question is what's behined the smile?
Great tips🎉
Good advice, sir
Good to know. Looking forward to going and traveling to Thailand for the first time this year!!
Have fun!
Very important yet simple ways to follow in Thailand.
We understand what exactly you mean, not just in Thailand , every where else in this world needed to treated like you wanted to be treated ... Why you just Blagged about Thailand. Myself lived in Thailand for almost 10 years and Knew about Thai's people and culture so well... but, yes thank you for sharing your videos with us....
Great advice many forget, Thanks
This is BEST guide to Thailand. Just listen here.
Show respect and by polite to everyone,,,peace and happiness Arsen
Hi, good evening too…😊
Hello there, I just want to clarify, do we really need the physical passport with us everytime we go anywhere? Or is photo enough if in case authorities or stores will ask for it?
Just a copy
My wife and I also got passport cards the same time they aren’t that much extra when bundled together
Pass cards in wallet or small purse.
I once met a Russian guy in Thailand and asked what business he was in , he answered "I am a crook" , and then said thats my job " but I never do anything illegal when Im on holiday" . Wise man in Thailand . :-)
Same here. When in another country I always obey their laws. In my own country I know what I can get away with, but not elsewhere
No surprise about this Russian guy saying that, best thing to do is just stay away from these clowns. When someone tells you who they are believe them
Criminal
hi what’s the name of the hotel in the early part of your video thanks
Ik denk dat er veel meer dingen genoemd kunnen worden. Het belangrijkste is dat je altijd de Gouden Regel volgt en je hersens gebruikt.
Golden rule? I don't think I should trade gold for heroin in Thailand of all places but I'll have to try it
I miss your old intro and music. 😉
whats the name of the tune playing in the background please......Anyone?
Really Enjoyed Thank u 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
from lahore Pakistan
Thank you
I was in Thailand the last 3 weeks. I fell foul of been loud on a number of occasions watching my beloved team Leeds united getting spanked 3 out of 4 time's. I did apologise to the bar owner on one occasion as I was about to give a mouthy scouser a flying lesson. Then I thought not worth it. Tipped the bar and went back to my hotel😂😂
Very good advice 👌
like it. good volg.farewell- Live, 😈
I like to stay in hostels, where I get a family feeling. Being away but feeling at home.
Don't overstay your visa. Know the immigration laws in Thailand and respect them 🙏
I will need a guide 🙏🏾, I'm going in January
Me Too. Can't wait. My first time there.
Another thing to remember. Your feet. Never point at anyone or anything with your feet. Never place your feet up with the bottom of them facing another person. This is a big insult.
Pointing anything by feet = you insulting them!
What happened at the beach when you are laying down?
Arsen informative as always !
Although some of these u should be smart enough not to do anywhere !
Exactly
These 12 things apply to everywhere you travel not only in Thai Lan.
Going in two weeks!
Thanks for your 12 point it a good idea .My sister and I love to visit Thailand in the future maybe early next year I will be great full if you give me a budget hotels the names of the hotel's in Bangkok
Very wise advice!
Cheap/affordable is not always best in Bangkok, Thailand believe you me I'm talking from experience. Once left cash in a hotel safe and half of the money disappeared, this I will NEVER forget. Reported the incident with the hotel management and nothing was done, so be extremely cautious with your valuables.
Thanks for this informative video 👍
nice video!!!!................
🙏🏽
I love your rules and laws, that is the way should
Be, your country is very beautiful 🥰
LOL imagine bargaining food..... I can tell *exactly* what POS would do that and where they're from!
India? France? Germany?
@@GotoHere the latter 😉
Great advice
5 star hotel for under 30 $ .......i dont think so.
Seems like this is good advice for no matter where you go.
I was flying from Chiangmai back to Phuket and when I boarded the plane I was seated with 3 monks, I told the stewardess to change my seat, woman can’t sit next to monks
Beautiful people. Respectful, lovely and very hard working. It's simple, show respect and be polite.
Been twice and found myself tipping and leaving money in hotel rooms for the daily staff. They are very poor people by and large. Lovely lovely country.
Yes they know what they are buying, its cannabis.
What is the good area to stay in while in Bangkok
Could you recommend a good resource for looking for housing. I would like to visit for 3-6 months, so a hotel is probably more expensive. I'm not really interested in renting a condo in a luxury highrise. I would much rather rent a house in a traditional neighborhood with regular families. Is there a good resource for this?
You may find this option only in the well known tourist destinations... and are usually rather costly, run by foreigners! Try a bungalow style rental option... owned by locals!
@@TheSamuiman yes, that would be much more in line with what I would like, and preferably in an area that is a little more provincial and less filled with tourists.
I am going to Thailand for 20 years .. and I never stayed in a 5.*Hotel.. ok. if you stay only a few days u. can but if you stay longer always Living-House, Guesthouse or Condos..(( a.very important "don't trust nobody".. because a smile is not everything, u don't know the "REAL" person "Behind that smile"...
Very nice 🎉
People not being loud!? Now that's my kind of place
This is common sens that applies everywhere actually
But what about people like me? I have been loud straight from the womb? I don't shout I am just loud person
And…whatever you do don’t disrespect the King. I’ve helped stories of a bill disagreement when the client threw money on the floor. Since the bills have the Kings picture, they got beat up (a little).
Have you ever tried the el toro churrascaria and steak house ?
Thank you. Only happy stay is a problem. Otherwise, nothing I enjoyable n awesome like Thailand.
I'm glad I watched this video. I would never go there.
Yeah I planned to go cheap but after looking at what they offer to the price, budget rocketed to $2000 for 10 days, totally worth it. I mean, reknown prize winner bartender offers you cocktail for $25, why going cheap?
5* hotels in a good area for $30 ?
Please post a few of you will ?
I’ve looked and can not find any that inexpensive.
no way in high season...
@@tvr286 True, I was in Thailand 11 months ago , and then you could get great deals, but certainly not now. I’m booked to return at X-mas and things are certainly more !
Not possible
1:45 True. Do not stay cheap. But a 5 star hotel is not $30/night. $300/night is more like it. The hotel you're in is a 1 star, maybe 2.
Plenty of rooms in 5-star hotels for half of what you quoted actually.
@@markseymour8365 Name the 5 star hotel you're referring to.
@@johnnielson4341 I'm not referring to one particular hotel, that's why I wrote 'hotels' - there are literally hundreds available at that rate. But if you'd like an example, Le Meridien in Chiang Mai is a 5-star hotel with rooms at around $150-$160 available at the moment. The Landmark in Bangkok has rooms for around $170 as does Lebua, both also 5-star hotels.
@@markseymour8365 The Landmark is nowhere near a 5 star. 3 at best.
@@johnnielson4341 I knew you were looking for an excuse to argue whether a particular hotel was indeed a 5-star establishment. A lame argument I'm afraid and one that doesn't address the other hotels I mentioned, presumably because they aren't just down the road from Nana so you have no idea of their existence? Not to mention the fact that The Landmark is rated as a 5-star hotel and the fact you disagree with the rating is largely irrelevant.
Would add do NOT insult the monarchy.
Uh oh, patting people on the head is a big no no in Thailand. Sure, it's doable between family members (adult to children) and sometimes closed friends and lovers; but never strangers nor acquaintances.
I mean it’s not well received in any country if you’re an adult, let’s get real here.
good piece of advices
To all farangs - don’t think all Thai girls will sleep with you for money. Pls respect their dignity.
