Thank you jimmy and tah..very informative..I will be in Bangkok this june 6 with my daughter..very helpful😊 Have fun and be safe in my country the Philippines

[@thomaskriekenvander3276]

What about vaccins?. tbc and rabies. These 2 were recomended to me by my doctor. especially for rabies, my doctor said transportation of live vaccins are difficult, if not cooled right they spoil. Which may result in an unreliable treatment, now with the vaccination a simpel antibiotic will suffice...

[@emilsonreguyal4350]

How about bringing a drone in Thailand?

[@MadliVilsar]

Do you know what I like the most about watching you guys, is that your videos are still simple and nice. Not over edited, not too much trying to be funny or over "energetic" and this authentic vibe of just two people doing what they love not just for the gram is so rare lately with travel videos :)

[@lifestyleabroadforever]

I agree! Jimmy and Tah are very natural, no fake or staged acting like in some travel videos on KZbin. Watching Jimmy and Tah makes me feel like I’m having a laid back conversation with friends.

[@traveltheworldhack]

so true

[@kodaexploring5176]

Agreed 100%. They are awesome & very simple.

[@scottmcguire3337]

Spot on! Going to Thailand for the first time in Feb, Loving these videos

[@siccens6168]

Absolutely

[@jonnywaselectric]

Everyday I would go to 7 eleven and buy a cold drink and hit them with big notes, they always had change, I would have a big pile of smaller notes which always come in handy buying from street vendors and small businesses

[@DivertLiving]

YES! Super helpful information! Most vendors don't have that kind of change or small notes so thanks for the tips!! Always great to hear from you and know what you think!

[@jonnywaselectric]

Divert Living always love your videos, glad to add some useful input

[@3jhoward]

jonnywaselectric Can you get a mix smaller notes at the exchangers?...and do atm's only give out large notes? (When withdrawing large sums)

[@jonnywaselectric]

Jason Worldwide Productions exchangers usually have the larger bills, you can ask them if they have some smalls, and atms usually give large notes too

[@3jhoward]

jonnywaselectric Good to know, thank you.

[@paradab6543]

to bring to Thailand 1. good thinking, good saying, good doing, 2. generosity 3. good sense of humor.

I've loved watching your videos because I lived on soi annopnaruemit for about 18 months total since 2016 so seeing footage of the area brings back such good memories !

[@DivertLiving]

We love that area!

[@mdkooter]

hey, great little video! I've lived in Bangkok for 2 months and eating 99% street food. This was 2 weeks after my appendix operation (and I was recommended not to go to Thailand actually by my surgeon). I was sick exactly once : After eating at a 'high end' Italian restaurant. So if you're often sick after eating street food, two things can have happened. 1) You're eating at the wrong spots, or eating the wrong food. If it isn't baked, fried, cooked, grilled or steamed right in front of you, DON'T EAT IT. For fruits I stick to fruits that I get out of shells/hulled/are prepared in front of you if possible (But I'm less strict about this, especially not in the malls where there's airconditioning). 2) Eat only from streetstalls where you see local, Thai people eat. And preferably with a queue. Places that have mostly tourists, or nobody : Avoid. 3) If you still suffer from stomach trouble regularly (more than 1x per month or so) then I'd say that your immune system isn't great, and particularly your stomach flora is in a very poor condition. I took high-strength probiotics the month before heading to Thailand, and took it daily while there. Also I brought oregano-oil capsules for those foods that were not according to my schedule, or I couldn't check the freshness as reliably. Hope these tips help for your next time to Thailand / Bangkok !

[@DivertLiving]

Such good information Michael! Thank you!

[@geniseguy5771]

I really love Bangkok, its fab! and affordable with lots of shopping and yummy food! catch you on the next flight.

[@DivertLiving]

July 1st it opens back up

[@annelisabethcom]

Regarding jackets: Other reasons for needing a jacket - like a hoodie or shacket (unlined jacket that’s halfway between jacket and shirt) are if you’re going on the train or a bus or car with other people who control the AC. A shawl (pashmina type) might also help. Some shops are really cold also.

[@DivertLiving]

Yea thats so true! Transportation is normally cold!

[@littlelickie]

I always bring Aleve. Its for body aches and pains- much better that anything else. I met a local (in his 70's) that couldn't raise his arm above his shoulder, he was shocked how well it worked, I use it if I get lower back ache or whatever. also good for mensural cramps in some cases. ( I sound like an ad, but they really do work)

[@DivertLiving]

haha This is great advice! Ill make sure to grab some for our trips!

They really do have everything

[@noneyabidniz8775]

YES ! -- Big C is DEFINITELY where to get anything you may need , It`s like a Huge shopping mall W/ a Walmart attached !

[@vercoda9997]

I’d say to be prepared for Thailand’s rain. I’m Irish, so we *know* a hundred types of rain - but the rain in Bkk wasn’t rain, it was like a power hose. A torrential blast greeted my very first step into the heart of Bkk from the airport train, and other times the rain was *so* it intense, it actually came through the window frame in the relatively new apartment I was staying in, partially flooding the bedroom! So, keep an eye on their crazily intense ‘rain’...

[@DivertLiving]

hahaha yea its a unique rain haha

[@charlottehoulihan3462]

What time of year was this??

[@tayloredwards3953]

The pants! If you’re a guy wanting to enjoy the night life I heard some of the clubs require pants and a shirt that covers your shoulders. Could be helpful! 😀

[@DivertLiving]

Ahh some do or dress shorts

[@HogShark]

I only took a weeks worth of clothes. I'd ask the hotel ladies (stayed at multiple hotels in different cities) to wash my clothes every 5 days. I only took One backpack and carry-on bag. I also took disposable plastic panchos in case it rained + it was Thai New Year also so there's that =)

[@DivertLiving]

yes! Its so nice traveling with less clothes! Makes things easier!

[@shesagoddess3592]

You two are the best. Whitening in the products is crazy but i could do with bleaching my under arms. Great advice all round thank you xxx

[@DivertLiving]

Thank you so much!

[@nek0mata]

Dont bring bug spray. Only local stuff works on the buggers over there haha

[@leesteal4458]

Lol

[@simonbaylis3147]

I take Jungle spray and go to Pak Chong regularly, it works for me, you'll always get a couple of bites but never had any issues when i use this spray 👍

[@stevenbeaulieu6110]

I'd recommend to pack activewear or gym style clothes that dry quickly are lightweight and breathe well for some outdoor activities like hiking or even when it's too hot ahah

[@DivertLiving]

Thats a great idea Steven! Thank you so much!

[@ellyferreira6648]

Divert Living hi! Is it okay to wear shorts and short dresses in Bangkok? I am going there next week for two weeks and I have heard the dress code is very restrict... no shorts, no see thru shorts, no short dresses or skirts... please help!

[@GGLEEME]

Oh I was just in Thailand and had no issues buying ibuprofen. Maybe cause it was the airport pharmacy? But it was a different brand name then I Canada. Language issues can make it hard to get, we had to show her on our cell phone.

[@DivertLiving]

Ahh yea i know what you mean

[@thedanielprocess]

8k!!!! I’m so fucking proud of u guys!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t explain the appreciation of ur hustle

[@DivertLiving]

We are hoping tomorrow if this video does well! Thanks man its been a hustle thats for sure!

[@davidwill1320]

You can only bring 30 days of a prescription, but it is easy to get refills if you plan to stay longer. Cheap clothes often bleed in the wash and ruin all the other clothes. The whitening thing is BS. Thais buy into it thinking it will work, but it really doesn't. Also, usually there are comparable products offered without the whitening ingredients and they are cheaper. I agree about the sun screen. You are totally wrong about Ibuprofen it is available in any pharmacy in varying strengths and very cheap. No prescription required. Thais usually call it profen. I'm not surprised she hasn't heard of it. Most Thais think Tylenol is the cure for everything and it is available in 7-11. Everyone wears jeans, but if you are not acclimated to the hot weather shorts are preferred. However, if visiting the temples, you may be required to wear long pants. Do not bring E cigs. In BKK and other popular tourist areas the cops are on the look out and it will cost you a ton of money if caught. In BKK they are even paying the taxi drivers a substantial finders fee to turn people in.

[@DivertLiving]

Wow thats crazy David! I never knew that about the E cig thing! Tahs brother has one and had never had issues with it before

[@celtosaxon]

Tah was looking at a pack of ibuprofen at the start of the video! It's sold over here under the brand Nurofen.

[@DivertLiving]

hahha i thought it is different thing jimmy asked for ibuprofen and she said she had only that nurofen 😂😭

[@worldislander4666]

So glad I read your comment, @celtosaxon! I have always wondered why I couldn't find ibuprofen in Thailand. Now I know to ask for Nurofen. Thanks you so much!

A couple of safety tips on any foreign traveling - wherever you are tell your credit card people when you will be there in case they may decline a purchase as a precaution - also set a notice to your phone when your card is used - plus to be ultra safe you can tell your embassy you are there in case of an emergency or unforeseen trouble

[@DivertLiving]

Such great information! The bank thing is a must they are the first to shut a card off when traveling! Thank you !

If your bringing prescription medicines into Thailand, also bring the prescription, and no more than 30 days supply. Choose a reputable Pharmacy, like Boots or Watsons. Most of Asia, Europe and Africa is 220V. Its only the USA and the Americas that use 110v. Most modern electronic devices work on 110-240 50/60Hz. Yes bring sunscreen, deodorant and moisturiser. You should talk about dress rules and conduct at Temples.

[@aidas.huertas3465]

I have a good and different idea for u 2 for next trip, I am Colombian American but my parents born in Bogota, Colombia will see 4 seasons in 1 day. Pls look up Bogota but also with causation too. Mexico and Colombia people are humble and hardworking, prices always goes up . Have a good night hope to see video from Bogota, Colombia.

Wow, Lime in the coconut..you got great musical taste.. Did not have a clue that it gets so cold in Thailand. I thought Bangkok was more humid than the Philippines but you did say north Thailand..

[@DivertLiving]

[@skulldolphin]

Don't EVER bring jeans, the weather doesn't give the same experience. You would be better off with pants that are giving a little more space like military pants. You can get those in solid colors as well and as bonus you have extra pockets and it is surprisingly enough very fashionable. You could even get variants that have zippers to turn your pants into shorts. This will even give you less to drag around but does allow you the option of having pants with you. If you going for Songkran, buy your water pistol at a local market where they are very cheap. Also you save up space in your suitcase/backpack and as bonus you don't have to get that thing trough security at the airport. Everything you may want for this festival, get it in Thailand and leave it behind before you leave. Give it to some kids for example, they will love to play with it and you don't have to lug it back trough airport security and back home. If you have any form of respiratory problems, visit a seven 11 and buy a pack of masks. It will help you a lot (I speak out of experience). They are not too expansive and you are free to take them back home as well. They are very light, so your over all weight isn't really increased by much. Make sure you buy flip-flops before you leave, often you can find better gear at home then in Thailand. You also have bigger sizes and having these things is a real must have in Thailand. Make sure you buy the right ones as you will probably wear them more then your normal shoes. Also much better for your feat as it allows your feat to breathe a lot better then your shoes ever will do. If you want something for cheap, you may want to visit one of many markets first. Specially the night markets offer great opportunities to buy nice things for cheap prices! If you buy a lot, I strongly suggest to pack it up and send it home. Don't lug it around, it just slows you down and makes your vacation a lot harder. Also for food you may want to visit night markets in special, often you will enjoy it a lot better then during the day. People are more friendly as they don't have to work and locals also like to enjoy them self's just like you would. If you are tall and white, yes you are out of luck with clothes in Thailand. But if you visit the least visited locations by tourists you can end up being thanked for your visit and in some cases even get asked to be in a photo with a local. You could say it's close to being famous in a way, really awkward and rewarding situation. Don't think you can buy cheap computers or parts for them, most shops offer for about the same prices as in your own country. You have however some locations where you may be able to find some cheap used gear though. They are rare to find but if you really want this it may be worth to figure out where to go to. I do recommend again to pack it up and send it home by mail. Same counts for phones, best not to bother unless you try to get covers or additional toys.

Shaving gel like Gillette brand... In Thailand they sell tiny pots of watery foam, lousy stuff.

[@robertlloyd3184]

Iboprofen is easy to find. Have bought it OTC at Watsons and Boots. Tylenol (acetomenofen, paracetamol) is little more than a placebo. It has no anti-inflamatory properties. Best anti-motion medication is meclizine. Haven't seen it here in Bangkok but can get it at Walmart in US for $1.47 for pack of 8 pills. The diphenhydramine sold here works but will put most people to sleep.

[@mtlassen1992]

I went to Jamaica, and the fleas on the beach at night left 1,000 bites on each leg. They sold a tiny little spray bottle for $18. It was enough for two people for maybe 3 nights just on lower legs. I would imagine Thailand this would be a good idea too?

[@MisogynyMan]

Condoms, the ones they sell are cheap and break too easily :) Durable socks, like the condoms, the ones they sell in the markets are cheap but break quickly. Remember, its OK to wear clog sandals and socks, don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

I would add. If you are on medication, take your prescription. Thats cheaper then a doctors letter & it's all I've needed for 8 trips up to now. I also use long trousers to travel in that can be made into shorts by unzipping the legs.

Another great and informative video. I was wondering about what medicines to bring and your video just answered all my questions. Thanks Jimmy and Nong Tah for this great video!!!I was in Phuket recently. Maybe someone is looking for a cheap car now and cannot fly from Phuket, because of COVID-19. I want to recommend and thank the guys from ORANGE CAR PHUKET service. I did not want to take a taxi because of the high cost. On March 15, 2020, I rented two passenger vans Toyota Sienta for 500 baht a day, and it was a great idea. Excellent customer service.

Charcoal doesn't make you throw up. It soaks stuff up in your stomach.

[@DivertLiving]

Ahh im not sure! It made me throw up!

[@davidwill1320]

No...you threw up because of the harmful bacteria in your system. Some people only get diarrhea, while others experience both. It is how the body tries to flush itself of the bad bacteria. Any pharmacy has the medications needed if you get sick from food poisoning. The most common cause of food poisoning is eating anything in a shell or the popular black crabs. Better is to take probiotics, which are cheaper and easier to find back home. They will not protect you completely but they will help your system cope and they improve your immune system as well. If you get sick, just go to any pharmacy and they will sell you everything you need to recover.

[@marlatranspinay9370]

Ibuprofen is a super necessity. You will find Tylenol name brand and local brand. Ibuprofen has anti inflammatory properties. So if you have arthritis or other chronic conditions that cause swelling, BRING IBUPROFEN WITH YOU!

[@DivertLiving]

This is such great information i guess i never thought of that! Thanks for the tips!

[@marlatranspinay9370]

Oh my gosh, I have Gout and I had a flare up when I visited Thailand in 2017. Oh my gosh it was horrible.. I had no idea it would be so difficult. Also, you do "need" a script but as long as you're cool like, they'll sell you almost anything at a Pharmacy in Pattaya, for instance. But I know I'm preaching to the choir. All best- Great videos. Hopefully I can get together some courage and content.

[@philchia4764]

Fact: Thailand is one of the largest pharmaceutical synthesis hubs in the world. They HAVE all the drugs you'll have in the west. You just need to know the ACTUAL PHARMACOLOGICAL NAME ("generic"). 2. Their pharmacists are trained to be effectively general practitioners. If you need Rx, usually a pharmacist will be able to dispense after consultation.

I went to Thailand for 4 weeks and hit 4 cities in Thailand. I took with me 3 pairs of everything and did my laundry at cities and just washed my socks and under ware in hotel sinks. Everything fit within a carry on bag. I would recommend you bring electrolyte packets for your water. They fit in a pocket and are needed for those hot muggy days...trust me!! BAM

[@davidwill1320]

Electrolyte packets can be purchased at any pharmacy and they are very cheap.

Guys, nice advice and please forgive me but I must comment about international driving licence from my own experience. You’ve got to have a Thai licence, if the road blocks are going to stop you, they want a “fine” for any infraction real or imagined. A Thai licence seems to get past that. I used to have to swap seats with my wife when roadblocks came into view. Now, no worries. Meds - no diazepam, no codeine. - basically anything that might give you a high is prohibited, but you can legally bring them in for personal use if you have stamped and sealed doctors letter, from your doc and seen (and stamped) by the Thai embassy in your country of origin. They kick up a fuss at customs but after the boss inspects your paperwork, it’s all good. Don’t get scared and think you’re in trouble or have to pay a “fine” - just brave it out, if you have got your docs in order it will all be okay eventually.

Thank you for the info its useful for my trip planning

[@DivertLiving]

Glad you found it useful Paul !:)

[@davesivirn2283]

frankly getting an international drivers license is nice but makes no real difference when you get stopped by a check point. They will have a long list of things you are "supposed' to have. They even have a large chart of things sometimes. Basically they will keep asking for documents until they get you. "Do you have a receipt for your gas" ect. It is simple extortion of tourists. In the past the local cops would just pull you over and you would slip them 50=100 baht. But the Higher up's realized they where not getting their share. So they cracked down on the local cops and forced them to "write you up" thus making sure they got their cut. this of course added to corruption overhead thus the higher fines. Oh and be sure to get your copy of the ticket. This will be your free pass for the rest of the day when you get stopped again. I have been to Thailand many many times and it is this sort of treatment that is causing me to spend less time there and more time in Cambodia and Vietnam,

Great and informative video. I just went to Thailand (Chiang Mai video was uploaded today!)! Wish I knew some of these tips before leaving. You rock!

[@DivertLiving]

Thank you so much! We will watch the new upload! We have a lot of info on Asia so if you go back let us know if you need anything

[@IcedWings]

Great information. Thank you. However in the future please make the background music quieter. It’s hard to hear you talking

[@DivertLiving]

thank you so much for the feedback !:)

[@mariok3682]

I was wondering how much do you guys travel with? I hope I didn't miss this info from previous videos. Checked bags, etc. Ps. Your vlogs are legendary ❤.

[@DivertLiving]

Thank you so much! That means a lot to us! for us we normally have 3-4 carry ons hahaha ( not allowed ) but we get away with it and 1..15kg check in. Me and Tah share a suitcase to save on cost

[@mariok3682]

Divert Living Thank you so much for the tip. It gives me an idea of how much I will need. I definitely understand, one carry on per person is standard, but you're also allowed a personal item, like a back pack. So there is some gray area there.

[@DivertLiving]

Yes! We sure do stretch that grey area haha

[@3jhoward]

Divert Living I have 2 carry ons...1 wheel type carry on and a smaller backpack. Hoping to not check bags. What's your method with carry ons?

[@peterc9383]

I bring some light weight pants & light weight collared shirt if you want to go to the temples (like Wat Po or Ayutthaya)

[@DivertLiving]

that's perfect ! Thais always wear polite to the temple !:D

[@JonnyElk]

What a great vlog. Such nice people. Thanks for the tips.

[@DivertLiving]

Thank you so much Jonny! We try our best to show you guys everything so you can learn as much as possible from our travels!

[@ronwest1695]

Your videos are awsome. Is there any issue with getting the GoPro accessories aboard in-cabin luggage? Also, Excedrin which is a combo of acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine is the only pain killer that is effective for me. Is it readily available at 7-11? (I will be leaving here for Phuket on 19June2019) Thanks for a reply.

[@DivertLiving]

No there isn't problems with the Gopro stuff and yes it is effective and available:)

[@antoniomorais1503]

[@robertsoderberg5589]

I see that you guys got a lot of nice drone footage from Thailand, I'm thinking of bringing my drone there, where can I look up the locations were I'm allowed to fly? Also do I have to register my drone in Thailand or something?

[@wedgelewis7903]
