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.

[@anthonydowling3356]

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 .

[@louisdisbury9759]

Dont rent scooters far far better advice.

[@anthonydowling3356]

@@louisdisbury9759 I agree if you have no riding experience .

[@anthonysiu6010]

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 😅

[@wudruffwildcard252]

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.

[@Renovegas6109]

Thanks..

[@jimt2349]

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!

[@theplumchum6300]

Thanks

[@spookyblack7526]

For the sun?

[@HoneyBoothang]

@@spookyblack7526 Yes

[@TD-g5g]

Polarised lenses do not inherently filter UV

[@randomgrinn]

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.

[@ThuNguyen-yg9xl]

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!

[@1bluensx]

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.

[@BucketListTravellers]

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.

[@rh7163]

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.

[@pathao9719]

Foreigner can open a bank account in Thailand?

[@LaSouthernGemini]

@@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.

[@umbro12]

​@LaSouthernGemini he said open a bank account in Thailand put your cash in there, get withdrawal from the bank

[@donovanpatrick9256]

It's nearly impossible without a long-term Visa

[@kaydenewilliams2187]

I wish I listened to your video before I travelled. I took a charger for a motorized wheelchair which was 110 volts and I plugged it in the wall when I arrived in Thailand. Immediately my charger went up in smoke. I was able to take it to an electronic store and they fixed it for a total of 750 bhat

[@violinviolin]

We both had colds while in Thailand and the thing we couldn’t find and really missed was LEMSIP. Defo bring some with you just in case.

[@terrancekenallen2241]

For money I estimate a budget for the length of time and add 10% more. Withdraw USD in the States, then exchange half of it when arrive in Thailand. Half way through the vaca count how many Baht you have left (A) and subtract it from what you exchanged (B), then subtract what you have left from that (C). (B-A)-A=C. C=What you used minus what you have left so you will have the same amount for the rest of the vaca. If you are short then exchange more as needed.

[@davidwill1320]

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.

[@jacksonj3082]

GOOD ADVISE Deana and Phil - some others - a) when bringing cash ($100 bills for example) make sure they are as clean as possible with no small tear or ink marks as often money changers in Thailand and other countries won't take them b) i like to bring quick drying clothes (shorts, pants, shirts) as i can wash them in the tub and they dry by the next morning - cotton clothing takes longer to dry - thus often i bring no more than 2 of each saving lots of room in the luggage, c) i like to bring some chocolates from home as they are nice gifts to locals who I especially appreciate (even M&M's are welcomed especially if the flavor is not found in Asia, but the gesture alone is warmly received).

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

[@DeanaandPhil]

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!

[@johnwayne2103]

If you are going to bring cash you get the best exchange rate with larger bills and also the bills need to be free of defects, as close to new as possible. If any of your bills have creases in them some exchange kiosks won't accept them. If you are in Bangkok there are a few places that give you the highest Exchange rate. A google search will tell you where. If you are in Bangkok Taxis are relatively inexpensive, make sure they use the meter. Using the motor bikes and Tuk Tuk's are annoying in terms of smell and pollution. One thing that you won't probably learn until you get there is during rush hour some Taxi's will refuse to drive you to your Hotel if they know they are going to be stuck in traffic for a long time. If you are coming from the airport or going not so much an issue because the longer trip makes up for the inconvenience. So try to get a Hotel that is near the transit line that can take you close to your destination. It gets ungodly hot in Bangkok.

[@meganmckenzie4541]

As a Thai person I recommend that if you’re allergic to mosquitoes (like me) then bring some medicine or something like that

[@meganmckenzie4541]

Direct Netstores pills or cream 555

[@Brian_Homer]

Great information! The only thing I would add is, if you bring cash, particularly US Dollars, bring $50.00 and $100.00 bills, you will get a better exchange rate.

[@DeanaandPhil]

Didn't know that! Thanks for the info!

[@Brian_Homer]

@@DeanaandPhil Lol, neither did I, until I got to Thailand. 😁

[@PresidentGas1]

I'm not even sure they will take anything less then $50's these days .....also make sure they are crisp and new. If there's a tear or anything written on the bills they won't accept them.

[@Brian_Homer]

@@PresidentGas1 I was there in August and had no problem exchanging USD $20.00 bills.

[@PresidentGas1]

@@Brian_Homer You're correct. Just returned and indeed they do take 20's ... however in many places the exchange rate is not as good as larger bills.

Love Thailand. My one tip is. If you go during March April or May... BE PREPARED. The heat is unexplainable . I am from New England in the United States and I never felt that kind of heat and humidity in my life. Other than that, it is a beautiful country and the people are extremely nice. If you ever get a chance to visit do not pass it up.

[@DeanaandPhil]

Agreed! It's always good to be respectful when traveling to another country!

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?

[@johnmosesbrowning1855]

I love Thailand. I always bring paper handkerchiefs, i like to use them as a paper towl after washing hands at the bathroom and when traveling in Thailand i found they always have great, very clean bathrooms but no paper towls. And the local paper handkerchiefs are just to flimsy to be used as paper towls. Yes, live is great if you have problems on this level. 🤗 Thailand is fantastic, visit it if you can. Just respect the people and the royal family, don't do or bring any drugs and behave sensibel - you will be fine, it is a great country full of very nice people.

make copies there, 1st day

[@BengalsOfRidanos]

@@6789uiop yes. But Never ever surrender your original passport to anyone!

[@eli_mb97]

You reckon having copies with the social security number blacked out would work and is safe enough to leave behind at scooter rentals?

[@BengalsOfRidanos]

@@eli_mb97 NO! The scooter rental company wants your passport as collateral! Give them your passport and they have you by the balls. You cannot leave the country without your passport. Often the scooter company, jet ski rental, hotel or whatever will find damage force you to pay enormous sums of money. Jet ski companies often cover up scratches and other kinds of damage with for example toothpaste. When you return the jetski they find the damage in force you to pay. Again - never leave your passport as collateral! This applies also to hotels. In many countries, foreigners are required by law to have their passports available at all times.

[@justsayin...2784]

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.

Just a quick heads up on what not to bring for smokers, they are very strict on the amount of cigarettes you can bring into Thailand and will fine you heavily if you are over. Also vapes are illegal in Thailand so they aren't supposed to be brought in. As regards driving licenses I have been stopped and checked at least 5 times and my UK license has always been ok. The one time I didn't have my license on me my wife and I swapped seats in full view before driving through the checkpoint. The police asked my wife why we swapped and she told them it was because I didn't have my license on me and he just waved us through. Crazy country but I love it.

Few problems with this video: Don't buy cheap sunglasses. Ever. They provide little to no UV protection. You *DO NOT* need an international drivers licence in Thailand, no matter what anybody tells you. So long as your licence is in English, has a photo and your country is a signatory of the 1949 UN traffic act, which most are, then you are good to go. *NEVER* leave your passport with a rental agency or a hotel. If there is a problem they have got you by the balls and not only that but it's completely illegal not to have your passport on your person at all times as a tourist. Demand that they accept a copy or walk away and find another business.

Non-prescription meds: anything with Codeine in it is illegal in Thailand (and a whole load of other countries in Asia). So things that are available over-the-counter in the UK - e.g. CoCodamol, which is a paracetamol/codeine mixture - is not only not available in Thailand but will get you into trouble if you have any. (I think there's a US equivalent to cocodamol - Tylenol + Codeine?) My understanding is that if you need serious prescription painkillers, and have the prescription on you then you might be OK; but these non-prescription painkiller in the UK, Europe & the US are simply unlawful in Thailand and can get you into trouble.
