The best way to avoid food poisoning in Thailand is to mainly eat stir fry dishes. The high heat used in stir fry usually kills any bacteria present in the food. I recommend avoiding uncooked or raw dishes (like sushi) with the street venders. Even fruit can be a problem, so be careful when ordering smoothies or cut fruits. Best to go slow with new foods, eat lightly at first and see how you react. If you like a particular vender and did not get ill, stick with that vender.

[@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee]

Those are great tips. We totally agree. Thanks a lot! 🙏

[@JD-vh5hj]

Yup I did exactly that and also checked google reviews in Bangkok and Pattaya

[@Pearly-xs8ib]

I got stopped (and fined) by the police twice in one day in Chiang Mai. I had driving license with me but didn't have an international one. I paid around $25. When I got stopped for the second time I didn't have to pay when I showed the ticket.

[@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee]

That's too bad! But good that you didn't have to pay twice 😅

[@bsdontop1000]

Only $20 at a aaa to get your international drivers license too, I just got mine they are good for 1 year.

[@berttomson6999]

I have been travelling to Thailand now for 12 years. Not once had food poisoning. And I been eating at all those places you talked about. Also find Thailand very very safe to travel in.

[@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee]

Good to hear! 😊👍🏻

Thanks for the update

[@Jeronimus84]

Also when renting a motorbike or a car, take a video of the damage it has. To prevent any misunderstandings when you return it later on.

[@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee]

Definitely, good tip! 👍🏻

I've heard a couple of stories of bikes being "stolen" by the rentalshop, but if it's true or not remains unknown, but buy a lock in another store, problem solved, often people just forget their brains back home 😅 the pictures of the bike is a must in any country 😊

[@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee]

Thanks for the tip!

[@thaoandduy]

[@isanBen]

Yeah, i do have a tip, remeber you're a tourist, a guest in q country that values humbleness and tale note of the local people, how they behave and just have a good time, bring your brain and behave accordingly, just think, what would my mom think of this behaviour im showing, pretty straightforward, tale metered taxis, install grab app, it will be a life saver anywhere you are, it might not be the very cheapest way to get around, but it is privately owned cars that are tip top and aircondition works, you'll know the price befire you go, no hassle and they are quick to arrive anywhere, you can order food from wherever you are or simoly find a place to eat and go there, hmmm what else, yeah, smile gosh dang it, it's medicine for your soul, learn to wai, the proper greeting here and learn to say thank you, you'll be amazed, Thailand is the best of everything in this world 🙏 have fun, be nice, smile, live, love and laugh 🙏🥳🥰🇹🇭🥰🥳🙏

[@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee]

Do you have a tip for your fellow travelers? Please share!

[@donaldcastillo2408]

Yes, I had tuk tuk driver take me on small tour , he stopped at 2 different stores and asked me to go inside and see merchandise , I told him in advance I'm not buying anything, he still asked me to just look, so irritating.

[@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee]

That sounds familiar! 🫣

[@michaelb.3438]

I won't be the first or last to say thank you for the sound advice you offer in your video. Be careful, take care, and God bless. to you and your family.

[@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee]

Thank you very much! 😊🙏

[@markbigelow2608]

I lived there for 2 years and only got sick from water.

[@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee]

Thanks for your comment - We hope it wasn't too bad!

[@Echo30Mike]

What to pack ( Uk traveller ), and what to buy whilst there. I hear there are some great bargains within footwear/clothing and electronics.

[@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee]

Definitely pack sunscreen, after sun care, and anything related to that department. It's quiet expensive there. There are some great bargains for clothing/footwear with local brands at markets/shops. But the price for international brands is the same (if not more expensive due to tax).

[@johnerdelyi4208]

When I travel to Asia I don't eat street food 🍲 for 3 days so my body has a bit of time to adjust to the local conditions. And a cocktail 🍹 of booze and weed could leave you a bit vulnerable to scams a easy target 🎯 😂 !

[@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee]

Good point! 😄

[@DreamsongsProductions]

Why are people in Thailand still wearing masks in July 2023???

[@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee]

Many people wear them because of pollution as well.

[@georgequek7996]

It's safer to wear mask and condom here in the kingdom.😷🥳
