Why are you teaching foreigners about airport Sim cards , they are all scams . Buy outside like in 7/11 stores only 30 baht and buy your package online,

[@ArchalLutchman]

Hi ,Thanks for the lovely videos and tips,I am going to be in Bangkok for a few days,Can you recommend a place that I can hire a car which does not need a credit card.

[@maegalroammis6020]

That guy is only part of the 1% of Thais who speak english. Good reason to not go in Thailand.

Your English is outstanding, I run a PhD programme for a university in the UK and your English is easily as good as the majority of our overseas students that are on the programme. My advice to them before they start to help them improve their English, is to find a small regional local TV station on KZbin and just listen to their news show every morning for 30mins, doesn't matter which one you pick just watch the same station every morning and that will give you a feel for the practical daily use of English.

[@ChrisStockwell-q3p]

dude, your english is awesome. dont stress.

[@GlitterMoonbeam]

Every video I watch I always think about how exceptional I think your English is. You rarely make a mistake and I’ve heard you use phrases that I would never expect someone whose first language is not English to know or ever feel comfortable using but you do quite often . Your Thai accent is strong compared to the other ppl on your channel but I think that’s great! I understand everything you say despite this and enjoy your accent . Anyway since you asked for a comment I took the opportunity to say what I think each time I watch you , I think your English is so good! I’m very impressed 😊

[@friendsfromthailandtravelguide]

Wow, I have little tear of joy in my eye 😂 reading this, thank you so much 🤗

[@davidlocker5398]

I concur, I like the thai accent with english

[@mahbodbaghdadi5713]

Your english bears the mark of somebody who reads and know exactly how each word is typed out. This is also how I've learned languages. It means that you have full control of the written part beforehand before you try to pronounce it. Some people learn by listening, but then they couldn't spell either. You being able to do it displays high affinity for learning languages. I would say you're great already but if you somehow feel like you arent, you still have a great foundation especially if you've only recently learned

about the simcard,I just buy it in 7-11 in Bangkok City , I paid 349 for unlimited data DTAC for 30days last month, only need your international passport as they make a photo of it and a photo of you ; no idea of the speed but it was fast and never had an issue with it. Never bought it at the airprt itself . It really is a usefull video for people travelling to Thailand! nice job

[@kirstythomas4691]

Your video came up randomly on my feed roughly a week ago and it was perfect timing because we arrived in Bangkok last night. I followed all of your advice and it was SO helpful. As I was going to my taxi with my ticket, I came across a couple of young guys that had just walked up to the taxi (without getting a ticket) and they were getting really frustrated by the taxi driver refusing to take them. So thanks for your help. Your videos are invaluable and I'll be watching more of your content. One thing to note not related to the video was our experience with a dodgy taxi driver. He asked if we wanted expressways and knew the airport fee, to which we agreed. We had detailed instructions from our hotel outlining the total cost of no more than 500 baht. I thought the meter was running but I was sitting in the back. When we got to the hotel, the driver asked for 1400 baht. I refused and said I would get help. He immediately went down to 600 baht. However, I got the hotel staff to come and talk with him so that we didn't give this guy more than he was owed (which we settled at 500 baht).

[@friendsfromthailandtravelguide]

Don’t forget to subscribe, more great videos to come 🇹🇭👌

[@jnhkr]

Even Thai as me got scam by taxi, lol. They gonna said smth like, this is "whole trip" negotiation price only and not using a meter. Or the most common one, they don't want to go to that destination. Usually I just sit in before tell them the destination to prevent that. But even that, sometimes it didn't work out. Even get into a fight with the driver, lmao. But, yes, use grab or bolt will make your life much easier. Taxi and tuktuk are for when you really know where you are going, knowing the route well, and want to play mind game with the driver to make them not driving around the whole city before reaching your destination. Thai people hate taxi and tuktuk so much, its really is the last resort of traveling.

[@LiquidArmz]

Excellent video! Very informative. You did a great job giving valuable tips and creating a visual representation of the where everything is. Watching this video will relieve some of the anxiety and stress of arrival. Well done.

I do speak Thai but just as you have trouble with your English pronunciation. I also have trouble with my Thai pronunciation and words but I do get by. Your English is excellent for a beginner. Keep at it. You will get better. Watch English movies it will help. I am a retired teacher in Texas and I will be happy to help you learn English no charge.

@@serafilm2000You don’t get a visa, they will stamp your passport with a 30 (they recently increased to 60) day visa exemption. You just show them your US passport and they will stamp it. It’s easy, unlike Vietnam or Cambodia where you need a visa.

English tip. 5 new vocabulary words about a subject or topic a day. 5 Sentences. 1 short story. In 6 months you WILL BE FLUENT. Talk to a tutor about your subject or topic. Ask about any new words your tutor brings to the conversation and it will be easy to understand the context and develop new vocabulary. Great video. I hope to return to Thailand/Chiang Mai soon.

[@friendsfromthailandtravelguide]

🙏

[@mattlawrence7130]

I was there in August. It was close to 30 hours travel time, then a long walk to immigration, which went quickly probably because I didn't rush from the gate, and then downstairs and another really long walk to meeting point 3 to meet with the private taxi I had booked. If you have suggestions on alternatives to the long walks, I would love to hear them. About your English. It sounds like you have been studying with someone who speaks middle American English instead of someone from the UK/Australia/New Zealand, which as an American works well for me. Like I have noticed with other Asians, you tend to sound a bit nasal and cut off the ends of words, but completely understandable, unlike people from some places. My recommendation is that you find some US television shows you enjoy and watch them.

Btw, I have no problem at all hearing and understanding your English!

Bump. Need info on transportation after midnight.

just depends on the crowd arriving at that specific time and at what gate you arrive ,normally if you count 30 minutes I think you will passed it in multiple occasions. I travelled over 30 times and it won't be 5 times It took me longer
