Top 10 BANGKOK Scams and Travel Mistakes to Avoid • The Poor Traveler Thailand

[@girbaud07]

im not sure why other channels e madaming views or subscribers while this informative and well discussed channel of poor traveler e di gaaanio. Please continue to create videos like this.

[@thepoortraveler]

Hello! Thank you po. I think mas patok po siguro talaga sa mga Pinoy viewers yung parang per-day na vlog-style video kasi mas may personality. Ginagawa rin naman namin every now and then yung ganun, pero mas nag-eenjoy lang po kami talagang mag-create ng mga ganitong information-centric videos kasi wala rin talaga kaming personality hahahaha. 😅

[@pukuzkitaTv]

Tama!😁

[@girbaud07]

@@thepoortraveler well i like your style better po since this is informative, listed and based from experience. Keep going lang po. I support your channel.

15:52 better to use grab as a secondary option. Bolt ang ginamit namin for our rides, more than half ang fare nya compared sa grab. Kaya hindi kami nagbi-BTS masyado. Hindi kasi siya efficient (transfer-wise) compared sa Taiwan or HK. Pero yung MRT sa Thailand super goods!! 👍👍

[@daisybells0792]

Very informative. Thank you so much! Ang galing ng vlog na to. Halos kasi personal vlogs napapanood ko, no audio, aesthetic kuno. Will be visiting Thailand soon 😊

[@thepoortraveler]

Salamat po! Balik po kayo dito kasi marami pa po kaming Thailand videos na paparating :)

[@meekmillevo6226]

Actually even sa Chatuchak Market, magaling sila mag-convince and grabe maka-smile kaya hindi rin ako naka-confuse na bumili ng mga damit 😅

[@barbasiron9143]

Very informative at nakakatawa minsan. Salamat, laking tulong. ❤

[@thegoddessgeek]

the scam of tuktuk drivers also happened to me in Cambodia i just realized it now after you mentioned it na scam pala tlga ung sinsabi nilang close daw ung temple. Very same sa cambodia

[@ralnmy]

Thank you for this very informative video, hopefully malessen na mga scams 😢

[@ronnel3444]

Kahit sa grab may mga scammer din na driver. Kung cash payment, make sure na may small bill kayo na sakto pambayad. Kung medyo malaki kasi at alam nila wala mapagpapalitan sa labas, ang sasabihin nila wala silang panukli. Kaya di mo na makukuha ang sukli.

I'm going to Thailand for the First time next month!! I'm so Excited!! ❤ Can i have some Travel Tips to Thailand even though napanuod ko na ang Videos ng Poor Traveler? Gusto ko lang sariling Itinerary ko. Ano po kaya ma-Suggest niyo?

[@thepoortraveler]

How many days?

[@PhilTravel]

Good to know about the things and scams to aware and avoid

[@bernarddecloedt2315]

Always reliable! BKK is my fave Asian city:)

[@Preival]

Hiiii vince & yosh! Is Chatuchak a good area din to stay in? 😊

[@thepoortraveler]

A bit detached from most other attractions, but if you stay close to an MRT Station, you should be fine. It's great if you're targeting Chatuchak Market and/or flying in/out via Don Mueang Airport. :)

[@jeffreycruz09]

hi anong area yung 5:37 thank you

[@magsmorante6740]

very informative! :)

[@robinbuhi7111]

when I watch this video. I'm actually in Thailand for 3days holiday. I like the food and so far I never scammed...

[@thepoortraveler]

Yes, we looove Thai food too! It’s better that you don’t encounter scammers. Hahaha

[@DavidDomingoLifeMusic]

it will be my first time to go to Bangkok on Dec 16-19, sana may kakilala ka na pwede mag guide sa amin 2 ng friend ko

[@MarilynManguerra]

How about if you buy the items in tiangge is it also tax refund?

[@melvinofmnl1632]

pinaka cheap n ok hotel near train station?

[@dreyfortuna7914]

Yung sa Pingpong, may entrance fee naman talaga. 300 to 400 baht then may free na 1 drink na.

[@MikeVihokratana]

True yung sa labas ng temple. Samin nman sabi closed dw kasi lunch break nag dadasal dw yung mga monk. nag jojoke pa na Manny Pacquiao Manny Pacquiao dw ksi from PH. Ang sabi balik nalang dw kmi mga 1pm. F gusto dw namin punta muna kmi sa pier something, tumutulong dw sya sa mga tourist na hindi ma scam. Wag dw kmi pumunta sa ganitong pier kasi 4k tbh dw ang singil tapos dapat dw dumiretso lang kmi don sa pier na sinaggest nya. E marunong ako mag thai ng verry light tinanong ko if tao rai (how much) sabi niya wait lang inexplain pa dw niya. Tapos npa oo na lang kmi. ihahatid dw kmi ng tuktuk 10 bhat each lang kmi. tapos pag dating don sa pier ang singil is 4k bhat. Sabi namin e sabi ng lalaki don hindi dw 4k. tapos sabi bibigyan niya dw kmi ng discount 2k na lang dw, tapos biglang nag flashback sakin yung video na ganito na napanood ko sa tiktok, ayun umaalis kmi sinabihan lang namin na mag wiwithdraw muna kmi,,,

@12:06 bat kaya mga pinoy pg nsa ibang bansa masunurin pero sa sariling bansa mga di marunong sumunod, puro pa reklamo 😢

[@SagingTinanuk]

Mas ok na yun na magfollow ka sa rules ng bansang pinupuntahan mo, kesa naman makulong ka. Tingnan mo na lang mga ginagawa ng mga tsekwa sa bansa natin, di nila nirerespect ang batas natin.

[@aizzzy21]

OMG outlet po b ung sa may american eagle san po?

[@thepoortraveler]

Yes! Sa Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok

[@elvyraangeles6542]

Meron po ba cut off talaga ang Grand Palace? Kasi ganyan din po nangyari sa'min last 2018 eh pero may parang karatula sa may gate na parant cut off ganun kaya ayaw na magpapasok? Tapos may lumapit din nag alok ng floating market daw! Akala namin yung sikat na floating market hindi pala iikot ka lang may river by boat tapos may konti nagtitinda na super mahal naman sayang sa oras!

[@thepoortraveler]

Hello! I think na-scam ka po. 😭

[@lovelee7244]

How about po sa Sukhumvit area? Okay po ba na mag stay dun?

[@Jonjie13579]

Hello po, question about sa vat/tax refund. Meron din po bang tax refund counters sa Don Mueang airport or sa Suvarnabhumi airport lang po? Salamat po

[@julietatallod5323]

Nagtanong kami bayad sa tuktuk going to silom village 500 baht,nag grab na lang kami,nasa bangkok kami nung July 2024

[@thepoortraveler]

Opo, dami nag-oovercharge na tuktuk talaga

[@joe-nixoncadiente9917]

Saan pwede kunin yung yellow form ng tax vat refund po?

[@benjiemangoba]

just wanna ask po if applicable ang installment basis (like BNPL) upon purchase sa Siam Outlet using credit card?

[@thepoortraveler]

Hi Benjie, naku, di ko po natry. :(

[@elychua-ticsay9829]

Re: sa Vat refund, yon mga nagastos sa tour package, refundable din ba ?

[@marysattilaro7939]

Will they give VAT refund in cash if I purchased the items with a credit card?

[@thepoortraveler]

Yes po. Credit card din po gamit namin pero cash nakuha ung refund.

Going to bangkok then Phuket in October ano po mga usual tanong ng immigration? First time traveler

[@thepoortraveler]

Immigration po sa Thailand? Most of the time, wala naman pong ina-ask. Pero yung isang recent trip ko po na kasama ko ang pinsan kong first-timer din, hiningi yung hotel booking. Sa Immigration sa Pilipinas, yun po yung mas complicated and mas maraming tanong pag first-timer.

First time going abroad. Going to BKK ngayon Aug. Ano po usually mga tanong ng I.O?

[@yummyapol]

Bring printed plane booking itinerary, hotel booking, ccertificate of employment, klook/kkday booking. Usually na tanong are, ano gagawin mo dun? Ilang days ka, when and return? Ano work mo, ilang years ka na working? Be confident in answering but not arrogant.

[@joeyboycabigao1313]

@@EA-gc4opBase sa experience namin last June, super higpit ng Immigration. Nag-ready ako ng Affidavit of Support para sa pamangkin kong 18 years old. Baka kasi tanungin siya kung sino gagastos sa biyahe nya.

[@meetpaulay]

Been a fan before I went to BKK I watched all your vids about BKK. Here's a scam na baka lang di napapansin. 1. DO NOT BUY SA MGA STREET FOOD NA WALANG SIGN KUNG HOW MUCH YUNG BABAYARAN. KASI PWEDE NILA TAASAN ANG PRICE. - My friend kasi bumili sya, nung tinitignan nya yung mga local king magkano binabayad napansin nya na nung sya na ang bibili dinagdagan ng 30 Bhat yung babayaran nya. Wala na sya nagawa kasi nga wala naman sign kung magkano dapat babayaran nya.

[@thepoortraveler]

Uy thanks for sharing this! Very helpful. 🙏 Pwede ngang naranasan din namin ito pero di lang namin narerealize. But yung sure kami na naexperience namin ‘to ay sa Vietnam. 😅

[@MiracleWinchester]

Natawa ako sa pingpong show 😅

[@thepoortraveler]

Nakaka-curious nga eh. Minsan parang gusto kong manood para ma-try, pero 'yoko ma-scam. May mga nightlife tours na may stop sa ganun na mas safe kasi guided, di pa lang namin na-try talaga. Baka next time. hahahaha

[@TheExplorerDavid]

@@thepoortravelertried it before nung starting pa lang ako as traveler. It’s an eye opening experience haha. Di ko na uulitin though. Thankfully yung napuntahan ko di scam. Mga 300-500 thb ang damage
