Been to Thailand many times: Bring PERFECT large bill cash for exchange, if you drive a scooter you need to have a motorcycle endorsement on your int'l DL. Take pre rent photos of scooter, jet ski, or car rental. Don't give rental your passport. Cash deposit. Use copy or phone photo of passport (portrait and stamp). Put everything (money, cards, phone, laptop) in safe. Bring a spare phone. Also, bring a "wireless" charger. If your phone gets wet you won't be able to plug n charge but you will be able to charge with a wireless. use bolt app or require taxi to turn on meter. Don't argue or be disrespectful. pay your bar bill. Don't get too drunk. don't drink or brush teeth with tap water you will get sick. ICE is usually OK with drinks. Use mosquito spray especially if you are out of the cities....and have a great time.

The sun creams a great point...also Razors & shaving cream...they cost a fortune out there best 2 bring them with you

A medical kit is a must have in that hot, humid, bacteria rich environment of SE Asia.
Translation apps are great; especially if you have one that you can take a picture of a menu, for example, and then have it translated.
ESimms just confuse most people when they are traveling I have found. I don't use it even though my phone is capable. I bring my US phone that has international service and then my other phone to put a SIMM into for local travel. Having a local number is a good idea so that one can communicate locally with hotels, car hire, tourist crud....

#4 is a total must. ATM's eat your cards here. I just carry my canadian sim when i have to get a onetime password sim roams in thailand

[JereKleinbach]

Question does it make sense to pack light and purchase some clothing footwear in Thailand rather than packing it? Thanks for the very informative video.

[karenanon]

Tried an eSIM never again.

Could not access service and couldn’t get my money back.

Local sim the way to go.

Good information Josh, thank you.

Cash: $100 bills in perfect condition for best exchange rates. Super Rich and T.T. Exchange best and you can find such in lowest level at BKK Airport, near rail connection.
Medical kit: pharmacies every 10 yards it seems.
ATMs: Expensive. Bring about $1, 000 in $100s to exchange to reduce cost. Always remove max cash to cut number of uses.
Bolt best in Pattaya, but during holidays and high season weekends be grateful for any ride.
Bring your memories of why you got out of your home country and make the best of your time here.

Cheese and chocolate with ice packs in your case, snacks and T bags, international drivers licence, plenty of cash, Dtec SIM card top up in a shop not in a airport, Book your flight early for a good price, medical and travel insurance with all ailments noted with insurance co,
sun cream, common sense !

Bringing a eain coat when you get one for cents in any 7 feels a bit unnecessary. Bring jai yen yen and insurance 😂 i can recommend opening s wise account and ordering their visa debit card. I use it to pay for so many things including phone bill, taxis, domestic flights, hotels. And you can use it as a subway ticket in Bangkok. Btw pack all your medication in carry on. I have a sticker on it which says prescription medicine inside. Nobody ever cared if I had a little more than 7kg. I can add traveloka to agoda. Sometimes they’re a little cheaper. I brought almost nothing but still too much because i thought i will be too bored in 2 weeks quarantine. 3 years later and i still have stuff that i brought and never used

With regard to your bankcard comments, remember to inform your bank that you're travelling abroad, I had problems years ago with my Nationwide card, you didn't have to tell them you were travelling abroad but after I used my card once they locked it, I had to spend half an hour convincing them that it was me that had used my card.

[johnmellyn]

Thanks for the great tips, can I ask what the name of that eye mask that was in your drawer at (13:40 )… I could use one of those !

[kevo]

What type visa did you use on this trip?

[tariqaslam]

I don’t have travel insurance cause family is here. Anti septic cream, electric shaver, Delhi belly tabs, mosquito spray, etc

[stevefielding]

you can buy a poncho for 100 baht from 7_11

[Kevin-zznc]

Bottom line....
Don't get caught without a raincoat.

Got pulled over on my scooter, showed them my “international driving license”, they laughed and charged me 500 baht for not having a license. I used it later for a paper airplane…..if you are pulled over at one of their mobile extortion stations, you will pay for something. Better advice, avoid riding your scooter in popular areas between 10am and 2pm. Oh and the raincoats are at every 711 for $1.
