#1 never bring your girlfriend to Thailand or you won't be back solo
The scams are same like our shit pakistan as well 😂
Just 1 thing, ive lived C.M. 9 years now & is Total western B.S. that riding on back of an adult elephant can be dangerous, yes perhaps not ethical ('perhaps') but to the elephant, a 70 kg person is literally nothing. They can carry 6 people in a basket in indian tours for example, again i don't recommend it, i think thats not so jice frsnkly but 1 person is nothing, u do not hurt them & sadly like in covid times, if people stop visiting as a result the elephants suffer, or get enslaved into the logging trade etc again which they hate & am sure having the equivalent of a small insect resting on its back for 30 minutes after which YOU scrub & wash / bath the elephant is better, please.

Calling law enforcement a scam is ridiculous. Take a proper DL and wear a helmet.
I prepare to have a trip to Thailand in August now, and your tips are so helpful for me before having a trip, tks so much bro. Im from Vietnam
all of this is absolute rubbish ! you broke the law, didn't wear a helmet, didn't have a driver's license. you are a criminal.
Wouldn't visit anywhere where you can't criticize the monarchy or show PDA without people frowning. It's too backwards for me and I'd rather travel to places that are forward thinking. Even if the people are lovely. Human rights are terrible. Thai prisons are inhumane to the utmost and completely unforgiving. To think 94% of the population are Buddhist yet the wisdom of the justice system is so low. Not that Buddhism is that wise, but people seem to think it is. On principal, not a place I'd visit, even if you paid me.
Thank you so much!!
Not mention of visiting Kanchanaburi? I lived there for 10 years. It is a great place with many things to see.
Love this video! We are in Thailand (documenting our full journey here on YT) and Thailand is awesome! Thanks for these tips!
Just stay with Muslims in the uk and be happy
i thought instagram was for 9yo's
Fantastic video. The best I’ve seen yet. Flying out in march cannot wait
It’s very rude to count on your fingers 😮
Aye, Mommy & Daddy financing per chance?
How do you know where has good washed vegetables and where doesn’t
Glad I did it 20 odd years ago before mobiles phones and the Internet took over. Things were so much easier and less commercial. Only advice I would give is be streetwise use your loaf. Don't get too drunk and go on beaches in the dark. I would not go now it's not as good. The best years are gone.

shalwaar mae talwaar
Thank you for sharing all of these great tips. ❤
This is amazing and straight to the point!! Thank you so much😍😍
Awesome video! I am in Thailand right now with my wife and kids. My wife is Lao. We live in America. We are going to Laos next. The Thai food is really good. It’s bland. You have to add hot sauce etc. All resorts who cater to foreigners. They do not have condiments. In America we are used to Sriracha and countless condiments. You will be lucky to find anything other than tobacco. If you want another condiment. You have to buy it locally at a Big C or 7/11. Also. Food carts don’t give you napkins. If they do it’s paper thin. We at least carried wipes. It’s a must. Foot carts will have tables with lots of spills and messes. We just wipe them down before we eat. Also. I carry a microfiber cloth and a small bottle of eye glass cleaner. Works perfect for eye glasses and iPads phones. The major disappoint for me. I am a huge coffee drinker. No one is open at 5am for coffee. Even in a big city like Bangkok. Every resort we stayed at. No coffee station or pay coffee machine. This is my first vacation where I don’t get to drink coffee from a coffee shop right away when I wake up. You only have the instant coffee in the room.
Adding to the scooter part: please be aware to check which scooter type you may ride with your license! A lot of times the scooter already requires a motorcycle license and if you happen to have an accident your health insurance may not cover you, as you were driving without a license. It does happen to a lot of people unfortunately and they are stuck with thousands of dollars in debt.
Please also be aware that the helmets are mostly in terrible shape. Riding a scooter in SEA is actually quite risky….
Is it rainy season in August ?
hahah i sooo thought the last one will be about mst . The way you pause after pointing out your crotch
Great video. Shame you are pushing Safety Wing. I almost used them. When they asked me to lie about my location when signing up it was a red flag. I looked into them and it seems that they are not great. I have used Allianz for years. Great service. No messing around and no pulling out the fine print.
