We returned back a week ago from Thailand. I was incredibly shocked about the increased prices. Especially for clothing. It’s almost the same prices or even more as in Germany. Chatuchak Market increased there too. Of course I recommend bringing a Hoodie or a Sweater. Especially for the chilled trains. If you have hiking plans I recommend solid shoes to avoid insect-, spider- or any other bits. I was bitten by a spider, because of not wearing the right shoes. Believe me, it wasn’t fun at all. Wish you an amazing time in Thailand.
Not to bring a girlfriend 😅🤣😂
needless
This is for sure 😜
Learned my lesson ha ha

rolol... u deserve a raise
Good advice for the newbie's. I've been coming to Thailand since 2011, and since my first trip I have never packed bags to check with the airlines - strictly carry-on only. One note here, if you find several items and your luggage doesn't have space, bags are cheap and can be found in shops all over Sukhumvit. Come lite and enjoy your stay.
this is informative. it is usual YT for revenue. i lived in Thailand part-time for about 9 years.
i could not just simply do a carry on. you should and have to do the plastic wrap of you checked bags. one buddy of mine did see a rip..notified security. they did not even check...
continue on and party in Thailand. better that then 10-15 in a thai cell/brick.
one think i sure do carry in condoms. the only ones they had..i left in 2017 were asian brands.
Thank you, Arsen, for the helpful advice. This is good for the newbies. I have been to holidays in Thailand for almost 16 years. Your advices are really a good reminder because I have not been there since the pandemic periods and now I am looking forwards to go there in November. Thank you, hopefully to watch more of your updates.
Feels so comfortable viewing all the presentations of Arsen Kass. Excellent updated information and easy listening background music. Fantastic !!!
I'm Thai. All Thai people welcome tourists of all nationalities and religions, no matter who you are, where you come from, if you come to travel with quality, respect Thai people, respect Thailand. Thai people will help each other to maintain the good trust of tourists. Help each other to provide good service to tourists in a friendly manner. Smile, cheerful, peaceful, safe, clean, equal for all classes. Thailand also has many interesting places to explore. Suitable for tourists of all levels of your hopes. We can definitely welcome everyone with the best willingness for sure.
Indeed! However during our vacation just last week, we’re almost got scammed by taxi driver. I guest it’s should be both side.😊
Tourists love Thailand. You ask tourist to be respectful of Thai people and Thailand.. Yes agree! 🙏🙏🙏
But please can you also tell ALL Thai people stop scamming or ripping off tourists with high prices!
Fair to ask? 😁😁
@@arriannaviaruz2951 Yep! 👍👍
"Don't bring any jacket!": for Thailand of course; but when you come from and return to a cold country (Northern Europe for instance) you cannot leave home and go to the airport in short, T-shirt and flip-flops in the middle of winter. On the other hand: not to take tons of summer cloths from home and rather buy cheaper and nicer ones in Thailand is a very good idea; and the rest of your recommendations is wise. Thank you.
@@WilliamFluery good idea, but it may depend on how long you're travelling - is it also available if you're underway for months?
Definitely bring a warm jumper for at least the flights which are usually cold and for when you get home but only for that something that pack's easy even if you have a warm jacket that packs easy always take it, I live in Thailand and do get cold sometimes here to
Bring condoms as they are too small out here
@@rishiout5233 are u kidding or frfr?
@@fuckthisworkbitch well small for me where I come from are bigger
thanks for the tip! After my trip there i found out just wearing sandals or crocs was the most versatile thing to wear. It’s breathable and comfortable and if you go during rain season who don’t have to worry about getting your feet wet too.
Thank you very much for the info . Always love to watch your vlog. Practical and on point.
Thanks Arsen! Informative!
Good video. Since I live in The Netherlands (cold), I always bring a light travel coat to use on the way to the airport. It also comes handy for carrying my tablet and small gadgets to stay under the carry on limit.
You are simply wonderful and your recommendations are super useful and very helpful🎉🎉. Thank you so much for sharing it👏👏🥳🥳. Take care of yourself 🥰.
Thank you for all the information
awesome video man. very useful to see the prices of the clothes and everyday items 👍👍👍
Good 👍 Video again and helpful for people who travel first time to Thailand 🇹🇭
Thanks alot for the information I love Thailand so much it is such a beautiful country ❤️
Good advice on what not to bring. I found it difficult to find over the counter sleep meds, like Tylenol or Advil PM, in Thailand. I also found that sunblock is expensive and not the same quality in Thailand, so I'll bring extra tubes of it next time. Thanks for the informative videos.
Tylenol you can easily get over the counter. Although Advil PM isn't available as such, the two active ingredients are widely available. But then they are not actually sleeping meds are they. Actual sleeping meds like Ambien, Dormicum you can get with prescription, you can't get them over the counter obviously.
I agree with the sunblock. Its lower quality and expensive in Thailand.
@@SiameseCheese yes, sunblock is expensive in all over Asia.
Hope to see you soon. Your videos helps alot.
Arsen good afternoon thanks for your information about visiting Thailand very helpful 👍 👍
Good advice thank you very much! Stay safe! From US
If you plan on entering any of the 42,000 temples in Thailand, bring a pair of long pants and sleeved shirt as shorts and tank tops are a no no in temples. Have at least one pair of shoes that are easy on/easy off as many places (again temples) including people's homes will require removal of shoes. This also makes it easier when passing through airport security. I always bring a dry bag to do my laundry ... place clothes in bag, along with detergent and water and shake for a few minutes, dump, rinse twice, and hang to dry. I live here, so haven't owned a jacket in years, but you might want to bring a light rain jacket between April and October.
Thank you my friend Got all the tips you are the best god bless you
Good advice, thanks. First came to Thailand in 1997, and after several more visits settled in to live here in 2004 and have traveled all over southeast Asia as well. So whether you come as a tourist or to stay long term there are definitely things you don't need to bring. For clothes the only time and place it gets "cold" is in the north during November-February, especially at night or if you go up in the hills. A light fleece jacket or a thin sweater/pullover top is enough for that, although you might see Thai tourists dressed for the North Pole because anything less than 20c is "freezing" for them. Oh and the other time you might get cold is inside an airport, airplane or shopping mall where the aircon is on turbo setting. Just going to see a movie in a cinema I always bring an extra layer. As for long pants, I only have one pair if I need to go to Immigration or other formal visit. Some night clubs and posh bars have a dress code, but screw that they are too snobby and expensive anyway. Same for shoes, only really necessary if visiting a government office if you want to be polite. Let's put it this way - in over 18 years living here I have only worn long pants or shoes about a dozen times, otherwise I live in t-shirts, shorts and flip flops almost every day. Also don't be paranoid about "things you cannot get in Thailand". With very few exceptions almost everything you may want or need can be found here. The miracle of worldwide distribution, for example, means you can buy European cheeses, Chilean wine, and Arnott's crackers and Vegemite in a supermarket. As the old saying goes regarding what to pack for your trip, "When in doubt, leave it out".
Great info again Arsen,,coming from England I take it you can still get a 30 day extension in Thailand making your stay 60 days in total,,,peace and happiness
From October you get 45 days visa excempt when you land plus 30 day extension..
@@andyfin990 thanks for the information
Nice view by the lagoon at Benchakitti park ☺️👌🏻
Once more, great sensible advice from Arsen ! I will add that for travellers who love shopping, the less you bring the more you can take back. For women : don't bring expensive shoes as they will get ruined walking on the uneven pavements/rain etc... and shoes are super cheap and cute in Thailand. I take an almost empty suitcase and an empty nylon carry on inside the suitcase as I stock up on fabrics for my sewing back home. And if you forget to pack a winter jacket for the trip back into a cold country, don't worry !you can also buy them in mbk or platinum mall.
Beware customs in EU-Countries are hot on fake designer labels and protected animal products!
Thai women are very small though 😅 there might not be shoes that fit our big Western feet
Be traveling to Thailand next month.. thank you for those tips!
Me to
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for the worthy information
great advice. Each time I come back to Thailand I take less and less, and each time I realize I still bring too much stuff LOL
SPOILER: If you are planning to go to the northern Thailand especially if you are staying in the mountains you will need a jacket, long pants and hiking boots, at night in the mountains the temperature may drop as low as 5C-10C (40F-50F). If you plan to visit national parks (Kao Yai etc ) I recommend long pants because of jungle leeches as well as leech socks with hiking boots.
I hate leeches. Is there such a thing as leech Sox? Where do you even buy them?
Interesting. Good information 👍👌
It's true there's so much walking to do especially in cities. Even on and off BTS MRT takes so much walking.
I could never find comfortable shoes which are affordable. In Thailand there are lots of cheap fake brands but not actually good walking shoes.
I've done most of my time in Bangkok in fake Crocs and they actually made my legs ache a lot!
Lucky that some of the world's best foot massage is also there
I always love your blog my friend
Thank you brother!
Bring new bills - clean, unwritten and not torn - if not, many exchanges won’t change/exchange them.
Well, it depends, if travelling from COLD COUNTRIES during the winter months to Thailand, you still have to pack a jacket or two (not for Thailand). In another scenario, even if you come from a tropical country visiting Chiang Mai, if you were to visit Doi Inthanon (Thailand's highest mountain) or other mountainous destinations during Nov-Feb months, you'll probably need to bring a jacket or two as well. I'll ALWAYS pack a jacket or two even if I travel to Thailand (or any tropical countries around South-East Asia) as even the airport & inside the air-plane can be cold during rainy season. Other advises are sound for newbies, except the jacket one.
You can also buy jackets and warm clothes from Thailand
@@thingswhatilike You can buy ALMOST ANYTHING in Thailand, so you should travel empty-handed 🤭🤣😝🤪
@@shchong2 well medicine are important
@@shchong2 😅😅😅
@@thingswhatilike It's a shame Thailand does not have any doctor or pharmacy, but wait, you can now BUY all the "green herb" you need legally in Thailand! That's the most versatile medicine & the only one you'll need
Thanks 4 infos!
I’m very happy I came across your channel. I have been planning a 5 month trip to Thailand which I have just recently booked with confidence thanks to your many excellent videos. 🙏👍
@@farhadsabbir7273 It's way more expensive to stay in Europe/USA/Australia.
How did you get a travel visa for 5 months?
@@tedfish1995 tourist visa for 60 days + 30 day extension and a visa run to Laos for 30 days + 30 day extension = 150 days or 5 months
Very good information from this video 🙂
Thanks and good advice
bring
1. quality mosquito repellent
2. battery pack (3) for phone charge
3. extra micro sd
4. good positive attitude
New subscriber here, your videos are gift for me. Gracias from Serbian fan in Miami.
very informative thanks dear
Just came back from Bangkok. It was an awesome experience
Hi I am planning to travel to Bankok Pattaya on Oct 8th 2022 ...How is the weather over there, I heard it flooded a few days back. Is it safe to travel as per my schedule in October. Hope you will reply to the question.
Very informative video👌
A friend of mine told me if you're a bigger person to pack enough clothing because it's hard to find bigger sizes at the markets and stores.
You have all the sizes available specifically in the famous markets so no worries
@Jae Actually that was our experience in Thailand. My friend and I are plus size ladies and could not find clothes to fit us.
@@raydellalewis5423 Hop over to Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and they have shops (called Big Lady Fashion) or something like that specifically catered to plus sizes. See For Riel walking tour videos for the exact location (near Russian Market).
It's not difficult to find clothing sizes, sometimes shoes can be hard to find if you wear larger than an 11 us size, I always have to buy shoes online but anything else I can find and I'm 6,3
Cambodia or Thailand, you can get clothes tailored for your exact size. Don’t need to worry about fitting.

Glad to hear that
@@LiveLoveThailand

Awesome video 🤩
Thanks 🤗
Thanks Arsen. Please mention the name of the place and market/ shopping malls name during the vlog.
No jacket? Ever been in a freezing Thai movie theater for two hours on a hot day? Just carry a sweater or light jacket in your backpack or day bag so you have it when/if you need it.🤓
thanks! your blogs are very useful informative and very entertaining 🍻
Good recommendations, if big luggage then empty to bring back your things you shop 😉😉thanks happy weekend and stay safe 🙏🇹🇭
@@WilliamFluery that’s right, buy things you need not coz they are cheap, good attitude 👍🏼
Wow, superb video very nice very interesting:)
Wow thank you for sharing your advice,I'm going to visit all the temples in Thailand 🇹🇭 it's my grandpa wishes so that's ah journey I'm going onto this year,And I'm going by myself,I will be packing light get my camera and phone ready,and do alot off shopping,
I will be packing light and I won't taken any smokes or alcohol

Love it❤❤❤
Remember if you are planning on visiting a Temple or Royal location you will need to dress conservatively and make sure knees and shoulders are covered.
i love Thailand very nice country, Thai are friendly i always have a good experience evrytime i visit Thailand.❤️
Hi! Love all the tips! Can you please tell me the exact location of the shopping center @2:50? Name and address if possible? Thank you in advance.
In some UNESCO heritage site they don’t allow shorts and sleeveless shirt. Just like in Angkor in Cambodia
Thanks for this vlog! One thing you did not mention : don’t bring e-cigarettes as it’s still forbidden in Thailand though many Thai people smoke it 😉
Vaping isn't allowed? I've always brough mine. Never had an issue.
I always take mine aswell and never had a problem!!!
@@MarcGyverIt do you bring your own juice or do you use disposables? I'm flying in a week and a bit nervous too bring my mod and freebase juices.
@@choiprod I take disposables elf bars or crystals pens, seems to be fine also rebooked for feb so we shall see again!!
Welcome to Thailand .Have fun 🎉
Arsen great vlog
thanx for the advise btw can i noe which mall r u in on 2min44s
I will be visiting soon, so thanks a lot for the information.
Have fun!
Love how this gentleman got to the point.
I have to bring one set of winter clothes to go to the airport. No way around it . I also have a stop over in Tokyo. It will be cold there.
Good 👍advice bro😁😁😁
very good video very informative
warning clothes and shoes are in stock for Thai sized people it is very hard to get bigger size shoes especially
there is a factory outlet big person store in Central Airport Mall in Chiang Mai
Awesome ideas .. coming from Italy which will be cool so will have to have some warm clothes …
i mostly take empty suitcases. If I have suits or clothes that need alterations I bring them. Costs $70 each in US, less than $10 in Thailand.
I went to 2 weeks in Bangkok...i only bring Singlets n shorts n umbellra for the sunlights. And a pair of jean just in case to temple. Everythings can b brought in Bbk.
Great vlog informative as always just wondering I'm coming December and staying 2 months what insurance should I get would love you to make a vlog on insurance for thailand travel and prices etc keep up the great work you do you are one of the best out there
Aso hanse Merkur
Does anyone know if the info on google is correct i can bring up to 200 cigarettes or 250g tobaco ? I'm worryed for change in cigs as it causes troat problems and as smoker i can't part with them during a trip. Thank you
Always travel with a thin jacket or hoody. Especially in and out of cold AC and hot weather. Or airplane.
I love your video thanks
hello

It is good to go with forex card or completely on cash ? confused
Very effective video. Thank you so much. It will be very helpful for me because on June 1st I am going to visit of Bangkok. Do you suggest to me any cottage for family? If you possible so please help me.
Can i get my visa when i arrive to bangkok airport?
Daft question, my dad is living there, he has asked me to bring his favourite cheese with me on my next visit. Are you allowed to bring food items into then country? Sorry for asking on here
I am from an cold environment I never bring a heavy jacket. I just pack a sweatshirt for my return home. Always can buy shampoo or soap in any store there is really no need to bring them for a long stay of 30 to 60 days. I really have no problem taking my medications long as I have them documented by my doctor.
Jackets won't be necessary for you for sure, except thos meciacations, yes
Is Travelex card accepted in Thailand? Is it useful for usual transactions in the shops / restaurants?
I don't know if Travelex cards are accepted in Thailand. But Thailand is a cash only society. You can pay with creditcards in the big malls and and shops but when you buy streetfood and go to the markets it's cash only.
hello. Live Love. how many Betta fish from Chatchuchak market can I bring home .they are all small packs ?
thank u very mich for this great informations ,, but , i have special brand of foods like benutbutter and coffee ( can i bring them to tailland ) ,,🌸🌸

How do you get a Visa there? At the immigration office if visit is less than 10 days??
You can freeze your but off in northern Thailand sometimes , or if the AC is way too high on B T S !
I only bring cigars since they don't sell the cheaper ones. Only the real expensive ones in just a few shops.
Love your videos but I wish you added locations every place you go to in your next videos.
Which market is good
Thank you for the advice. Do they carry 2XL size shirts in US size? And thr same for 44w waist. If so I'll be packing lighter for sure
@@dunksy4598 😄 🤣 😂 I sure hope they sell that size
Very difficult to find in Thailand. Only in the tourist areas, but you don't find very many. If you are small or medium size, you can buy all over.... If you are big size.... Make sure you have enuff clothes. And when you do shop.... The sizes aren't the same and you'll have to go at least one size up.... So you'll need looking for 3XL (or maybe 4 XL)
Just bring enuff clothes to last you about a week or so. The are little laundry shops every where. (Don't use hotel laundry service) if you drop it off early enuff you can get it back the same day as but usually, drop it off one day and pick up the next day. It's fast, easy, and cheap. Just use a shop that charges by weight and not charge you by each piece of laundry.
@@dazdragon445 Thank you for the advice
@@bananaboi22 welcome. I'm about the same size. I got a few shirts here and there and couple shorts..... But most shops won't have the big boy sizes.
You can probably get clothes tailored for reasonable prices.
As I was leaving the terminal on my last trip... I was asked to go and get my bags x rayed... I thought might have a problem. I was carrying a lot off tetra sealedd juice packs... They shoed as blocks on the scan....but the agent just waved me out...the guuy behind me that was pulled as i left wwasnt as luucky.
Thank you for sharing! From your experience, can I do beach activities in Phuket during the rainy season in September?
You can if you are lucky and the weather is good ... but it's rainy season
I was in Phuket in September 2022 and had plenty of clear days where we could do beach activities and sightseeing.
@@Kevinf0212 Thank you for your advice I need it 🙂. Anyway, September is the only month I can go there.
ขอบคุณครับ ขอให้มาเที่ยวเมืองไทยกันมากๆนะคร้าบบบ
I did it before covid-19 many times.
You forget that I also need to dress for the travel to my airport at home. At winter it can be -20C and a thick jacket is necessary. And there is no wardrobe at my home airport. So my winter clothes must follow me to BKK.
