I was in Thailand last December, I only ate the Thai food and went to their coffee houses. The absolute best.

Can't imagine going to a different country and getting Western food. Pass on that but great tips

They want cash not credit cards, they add 5% at the rare places that accept cards.

Actually, most teenagers nowadays know at least basic English. So if you can’t speak Thai and need to ask anything, ask the teenagers or the seller, most of them know how to communicate. Thailand is a great country, spoken from a Thai.

If your gonna exchange your money for Thai baht at the airport on your arrival go to the lowest level, some how that level isn’t considered airport property and you get a much better rate ( it’s worth taking a couple escalators, believe me )

Bangkok has cuisines from all over the world and Western Fast Food chain should be your very LAST option imo.

Thai food is great quality food available at the best price. Some days I felt up for a change and went for some Japanese (you get restaurants specializing on sushi, ramen, cafe type foods or katsu) or Chinese (available in all price ranges from full-fledged dinners to lunch type dim sum places) instead. you also get anything from italian, over french, to german, etc. again, thai is the very best option, but why the heck would you ever go for kfc or mcdonalds if you took the pains to travel there from the US?

The most important travel tips for Bangkok imo are these:

- use Grab (like uber) whenever possible to avoid having to haggle for the price

- don't be a fool and do your sightseeing in the midday heat. the thai sun is POWERFUL! be sure to apply/wear plenty of sun protection and stay hydrated. I swear to God, most cases of lose motion people get in thailand has zero to do with any wrong food people had, but rather with people catching a heat stroke fr fr

- for the love of God if you anyhow can, DO NOT DRIVE ANYWHERE on a Monday morning or a Friday afternoon/evening, ESPECIALLY anywhere near to and fro Paragorn mall area. Traffic is at a standstill during those times and you can easily sit in a cab for an hour for a 1km ride. You've got a better shot walking or taking the metro at those times. Better yet, book all your Thai massages and pool times on Friday afternoon/evening. Just avoid getting into any vehicle. Trust me, you'll thank me later

A few other tips:

VERY IMPORTANT. Thailand is a proud, deeply-rooted Buddhist country. As a Buddhist myself, this religion one of peace/harmony/love. Respect their culture and learn to bow toward strangers with your hands clasped at your face like this 🙏🏽. Remember to wear long pants and tops that cover up when visiting their many temples

Cash is king. Have some sort of cash with you handy in case your card is declined

Do not pick fights with people and honor the customs of locals. Thailand as a country is a very proud, peaceful land with good intention. Do not bring western garbage from the US (I’m American) to this warmhearted land

Enjoy!
