Not long got back from my third time in Thailand, twice in Pattaya. Did this run about 4 weeks ago for the first time, exactly what you did. Went to Bangkok and stopped in Nana on your say Peter. Soi 4, the Plaza, soi5 and the Cowboy were worth a visit. Then got the train down to Hua Hin again on your say, yep cool quiet town, the girls are there but not many guys. Planned on getting a ferry to Pattaya but there isn't one at the moment. Pattaya was quiet more girls than guys. Anyone who visits Thailand really should visit Bangkok for a couple of days at least, hustle and bustle. Really enjoy your content it helped me plan my holiday. 52yr old from the Black country UK.

[@kamalam102]

I actually used this video to get to the airport last time I was in Bangkok, I had to just go to buy a ticket and then go back to my hotel in Asok and didn't want to waste money on a cab Thanks a lot Peter and Mali.

[@ferney2936]

I find it charming the way Thai girls like to play up to the camera......when they do it, it's fun & playful rather than show off.

[@dontrump7729]

Great update Peter . Mali looking good yet again 👍

[@criskity]

I would have changed at Makkasan and gotten on MRT to Sukhumvit. Faster and cheaper. But there's still that long walk between Makkasan and Petchaburi stations.

[@ThailandBound]

But you don't get the views underground like you do on the BTS.

[@daluxnutz]

I come for the info but stay for the bloopers,😂

[@Mac.rodose]

I get off at Makkasan, change to MRT, from there 1 stop to Sukhumvit 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@andre0baskin]

I do the same thing. It's cheaper (52 baht) and I find the MRT is often less crowded. However, transferring at Makkasan is a bit of a walk.

[@Mac.rodose]

@@andre0baskin Mali did mention it in the video, but I wonder why they prefer the BTS?

[@errollpalmer9568]

I know that I'm missing Thailand when I'm even missing riding the airport link.😔😔😔

[@taxitoloei2055]

Thats always been my routine - out the airport and get my SIM card then down to the rail link, have a green tea at the little drinks cafe and then change ££s at one of the booths. Train to Phaya Thai and then short walk to the BTS. Cost to Phaya Thai in March was still the same as on my first visit in 2012 😊. Great video and I’m sure many will find it useful.

[@bacca71]

Adding Mali is a stroke of genius, sir! Quite the delightful and fun personality while doing a good job. Definitely could easily take that rail trip to my old digs, just a couple more stops down the line to Thong Lor (or maybe the one before).

[@ThailandBound]

Couldn't agree more!

[@oyvindhuus]

Why not get off at Makkasan and change to MRT at MRT Petchaburi, just one stop from Sukhumvit MRT (Asoke). Much faster.

[@ThailandBound]

We decided not to do that because you can't see a lot of the city when you're Underground

[@oyvindhuus]

@@ThailandBound good point, Peter 👍

[@reelman4299]

It may be a little quicker but it seemed more of a hassle. I did the route you suggest last December. It is a short hike to the MRT station after you get off the ARL. MRT Terminal was crowded, several flights of stairs, etc. I ultimately made it to Terminal 21 with no problems. It seems to me going to Playa Thai station and jumping on the BTS is easier, although it might take an extra 10 minutes to get to your destination. Both ways will get you there.

[@khenam1]

⁠​⁠@@reelman4299 I would prefer Paya Thai station then Makasan station.

I find it amusing that people get off a plane tired, wait 30 minutes to get their bag, and then wait in a long queue to Super Rich to save 100 baht. Then another to buy a SIMM. Whilst waiting for your bag, exchange money and but a SIMM. No hassle, no queues.

[@StephenOshea]

excellent video i'm learning a lot from your tours. thanks for posting

[@ThailandBound]

Glad to hear it!

[@foxdsign3632]

Traveling to Thailand, I suggest to use Airport Rail Link (City Line) from the airport to downtown. It's a quick under 30 minutes, and the ticket price tops at just 45 baht.

[@ThailandBound]

Yeah it's fine if you don't have much luggage but if you just done a 12-hour flight and you've got a big suitcase it's not really practical

[@mordanlike]

Thanks, Pete and Mali. The SuperRich at Phaya Thai was a good shout. The line at the airport can be a bit brutal at times, with 10 flight loads of tourists all wanting to get some Baht!

[@random1883]

I arrived early June 2023 and exchanged US$ at the basement level. SuperRich & Happy Rich had the same rate, whereas the green Kasikorn Bank booth was slightly worse by 0.06 Baht. I then took the ARL to the end at Phaya Thai station and the SuperRich booth there was actually better than the airport location (34.66 Baht compared to 34.55).

[@Rdimbus1957]

This is all good advice. I learned the hard way, knowledge is expensive

Mali loves to perform and the camera. She is a good salesman she can sell herself by doing all those demos. I doubt any poor guy would have a chance with her and I'm sure one of her favourite things to do is shopping. She smiles at you you buy ... then she thanks you. I mean I can see Peter smiling all the time when he is with her. What was the video about? Some money or exchange? I'm sorry, I was just too distracted by her and kept watching her performance. The bloopers are always a blast. Thanks for the video.

That was very good, coming to Bankok next week, never even thought about train...Can you tell me please, when that was built, first time I came to Bangkok was 2015.....And Loved the Bloopers....

[@marcjtdc]

True super rich is the best but when I'm at the airport I just exchange $300 or so so I'll lose a few bucks no biggie, then go to a good place later. Thank you for this video I hate the taxis on the 4th floor. They know 500 baht is suffice but they won't take it.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Never got a cab into central Bangkok, i've always used the Skytrain & Airport Link. Back in March i took a cab from Pattaya to Suvarnabhumi and then the Airport Link, still quicker than the cab fighting it's way to the Asia Hotel! You can even get the State Railway of Thailand train to Hua Lampong if staying near there, Airport Link one stop to Lat Krabang and the main line is downstairs, and the SRT fare is only 6 Bhat! At the right time of day (around 07.20ish) you can get a main line train to Pattaya for 31 Bhat as well.......

[@hassanalihusseini1717]

Yes, but the problem is that SRT trains do not go so often. Used to live close to Khlongtan station, but taking the train always needed planning ahead, unlike ARL/BTS/MRT.

[@dennism6664]

Excellent guide

Excellently done. Last time I was exchanging money at the airport all the bureau de exchange adjacent to Super rich had the same rates but this might of changed judging by the queues. Look forward to Dong Wang airport video

[@gerardtenhoopen2170]

I have had the same experience about 6 months ago, all rates were exactly the same. So I went to Kasikorn because there was no one there, whilst 10-15 people stood in line in front of Super Rich. I was surprised about that, but obviously didn't mind at all.

[@ct4706]

[@itsmemg.]

Hiya, came across your video. Quick question, while looking at the transport map you showed. How comes you didn't take the Airport link to Makkasan to change instead? Is the MRT not linked to the BTS? Thanks.

[@ThailandBound]

We purposely took the BTS because there was a view you can't see a lot out of the windows in the underground system

[@itsmemg.]

@@ThailandBound Ahh ok, thanks.

[@hassanalihusseini1717]

Yes, it looks to be faster to go to Makkasan and take one stop MRT. But... you have to walk from ARL to MRT quite a long way. So it is easier to go via Phaya Thai. And by the way, in my opinion that station Makkasan is the most confusing named station in Bangkok. On the ARL it is "Makkasan", on the MRT it is "Phetchaburi", on the Khlong boat it is "Asok" (while BTS "Asok" is MRT "Sukhumvit" and one stop further south), and on SRT it is Asok while "Makkasan" is one stop further to the west.

[@shane0traveller451]

[@charlesbrie8711]

Can you tell us the money exchange and SIM card booth hours? Some flights arrive close to midnight. Thanks.

[@joeE-kt8of]

this is god sent

[@JamesColemanChess]

I did this once in 2019 just for the experience - I was able to buy a ticket from the machine from Suvarnabhumi to Asok, I didn’t have to buy a second ticket at Phaya Thai…. Good video though, I think (as you said) a decent alternative with just a backpack but I wouldn’t recommend with a suitcase if you have to walk a bit when arriving at Asok.

[@hassanalihusseini1717]

How that is possible? The ARL and BTS are two different systems with different pricing and more important: The ARL gives you tokens, but the BTS gives you cards. Not possible what you are writing.

[@JamesColemanChess]

@@hassanalihusseini1717 You can. You change at Makkasan. You can think it’s not possible if you want but I’ve done it.

[@hassanalihusseini1717]

NEVER, BUT NEVER buy the Sim Card at the airport. Go to a 7/11 any place and you'll get it for 350 B - 30days - half the price or more

[@ThailandBound]

I don't agree because 7/11 don't sell fast internet! I have purchased from 7/11 in the past and the maximum speed you can get is 50MBs whereas the airport packages are much faster, up to 1,000MBs! They have a greater choice and they know what they are doing as they sell these packages everyday…Sometimes it is a job in it self trying to get staff in 7/11 to know what you want. Also at the airport the packages are very clear to understand as everything is explained in English with photographs and clear pricing.
