In this video, I’ll share the Top 10 Thailand Mistakes travelers make and how to avoid them. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or are a seasoned tourist, these tips will help you navigate the Land of Smiles like a pro.
What We’ll Cover:
1️⃣ ATM Fees and Money Exchange: Avoid hidden fees and delayed cards by knowing when to use ATMs vs. currency exchange counters.
2️⃣ Seasons Matter:
Nov-Feb: Best time to visit!
March-April: Hottest months & burning season in the north.
May-Oct: Low season but expect rain.
3️⃣ Overpacking: Save space-laundry is cheap, and you can buy what you need locally.
4️⃣ SIM Card Tips: Use an e-SIM for convenience or grab a cheap SIM card at 7-Eleven.
5️⃣ Google Maps: Trust Google Maps for navigation but check out Michelin recommendations for food!
6️⃣ Over-Scheduling: Don’t pack every moment-leave room for surprises.
7️⃣ Tourist Traps: Don’t judge a place by its touristy areas (Patong, Central Pattaya, Khao San Road). Explore beyond them!
8️⃣ Thai Culture No-Nos:
Don’t touch heads or point feet.
Never disrespect the monarchy.
Be mindful-don’t be loud or aggressive.
9️⃣ Health Insurance: Thailand’s healthcare is great-but it’s also the land of "on your own." Be prepared.
🔟 Don’t Pre-Book Everything: Especially your first trip. Leave room for flexibility and avoid over-committing to tours.
Pro Tip:
Thailand is best enjoyed when you’re informed but open to spontaneity.
