FOR PHONE USE IN THAILAND: I’m from the USA and we have Verizon Wireless here as a cellular provider. I was able to use my phone over there without a sim or eSIM with my number and same plan no problem. Was there for a full month and had zero issues. Hope that helps some folks out

[@pollee9167]

I guess both of you are at your home now. Gladly to see your video of my country again😊. From your Thai viewer.

อีกไม่กี่เดือนจะถึงเทศกาลประเพณีสงกรานต์แล้ว คุณเตรียมตัวกับเทศกาลมรดกโลกนี้ได้แล้ว ปีนี้รัฐบาลประกาศให้เดือนเมษายนเกือบทั้งเดือนให้เฉลิมฉลอง ขอให้มีความสุข❤

[@GoTimeTravels]

That is fantastic. We celebrated Songkran in Phuket last year. It was fun 🤩

[@santarli9]

@@GoTimeTravels ส่งกรานต์ที่ภูเก็ต กับสงกรานต์ที่เชียงใหม่ กรุงเทพ มีบางอย่างที่อาจสนุกต่างกัน การวางแผนสำหรับการเดินทางและที่พัก ในช่วงนั้นจะยากมากขึ้น แม้นแต่คนไทยยังต้องวางแผน 2-3 เดือนล่วงหน้าเลย สงกรานต์คือวันปีใหม่ไทย ขอให้มีความสุขมากๆครับ

Love to see Irish folks making content on Thailand! I can't wait to go back. Are you still there or back home?

[@michaelmartin4366]

Great video guys. It was really informative. If I was going to add anything I'd say that if you are planning on driving a scooter in Thailand, a IDL is great, but if you don't have a motorcycle/scooter license in the country you are from, and get into an accident, don't expect your insurance company back home to cover any costs that arises from it. An IDL only covers the type of vehicles that you drive in your home country. As for driving, I prefer renting cars which are much safer considering how crazy Thai people drive. But if you don't want to rent a car, use an app to get a ride. Better safe than sorry. My wife and I own a condo in Bangkok, and a home in Hua Hin, so we normally don't have to worry about accommodations, however, we still like to splurge on nice hotels when you first arrive in Bangkok to rest and relax after the long flights from the US. We do have checking accounts/and Thai credit cards that we use when we're there that makes life easier also, so if you can, open an account and save some money. If you do wind up renting a scooter, car, or jet ski, make sure you take pictures of whatever you rent before, and after, you leave the rental facility so you can protect yourself from scams.

"Basic good manners", absolutely, just about sums it up, it's the key to successful interactions with anybody, practically in Asia, It works both ways and it's important to use good humour. Such a shame this seems to be so lacking in todays (Western) society. Having been to Thailand and travelled around the country on many occasions over the past twenty years I thought the advice you gave in your video was pretty spot on and you made some very accurate observations and points of the what to do and what not to do. looking forward to seeing more of your KZbin content in the future.

[@NatalieMorgan-gq5fb]

Hi guys! Stumbled across this video after researching for my short stay in Koh Lipe in April! This is all really useful information 🙌🏼 I was wondering if you think the rabies vaccine is necessary? We are staying for a week and would intend to avoid any stray animals. Did you have any problematic encounters with dogs over your 7 month travels? 💚

[@GoTimeTravels]

Glad it was helpful! And hope you enjoy your time. It’s very difficult to say weather you should or shouldn’t, but to answer your questions we had zero issues in the 7 months. If a bite happens you will still need to visit a hospital, regardless of getting a vaccine or not. And there is no guarantees that the vaccine has any effect at all either. How often do you get bitten by an animal in your home country? thailand should be no different really. Just have common sense and you’ll be fine.

[@funbobby8525]

Hi lads, how did you extend your visa when you were there? Thanks

[@GoTimeTravels]

Hi 👋 we had a couple of extensions while in the Thailand, you can do this at a local government office. However you are only allowed a certain number of extensions before you need to leave the country. When that happened we did a border run to Laos and back to Thailand. Just be careful doing that now because I believe they are clamping down on border runs. When we left Thailand to return home Thai officials were not happy about the border run as it was stamped on our passports. If you just need extensions then they are generally stress free and easy.

When will you comeback to Thailand?

[@GoTimeTravels]

We hope to return at some point this year! We miss it so much 😫

[@poramesy]

Warnings: 1. Don't travel throughout the country. 2. Don't try to eat in Thailand. 3. Don't talk too much with the local Thai ppl Because you will get lost in beautiful places, you will become chubby, you'll love them and finally, you'll cry when you have to leave this country and be "Bangkok Blue" when you get back to your homeland.

[@travelwithwill1]

Go to Malaysia instead! Less tourist less scams and cheaper!

[@f4r0ng25]

But Malaysians come to Thailand because tourist places are expensive for them and that is why they have less tourists.

[@GoTimeTravels]

We visited Malaysia but only a short stop in KL, we would love to explore more 💖
