ULTIMATE THAILAND TRAVEL GUIDE (Watch before coming here)
let’s talk about Thailand Travel this video is not going to be in chronological
order but we’ve just spent a month in Thailand and we feel like we have some pretty good insights to
share so if you’re here for information about how to travel Thailand you have come to the right
place this video will serve as your ultimate Thailand travel guide we’re going to break down
cities and locations to travel as well as how to get there how much it costs as well as go through
10 tips you need to know before traveling Thailand but before we get into any of that let’s go
through some basic rapid fire [Music] info the best time to visit call season is between
November and February and obviously is the most popular time to get here temperatures range from
around 29 to 34° so it’s perfect for exploring the entire country the hot season is from March
to May and the rainy season is from June to October which is obviously the least popular
time to visit how long you should travel for this obviously is a very subjective thing but we
think a 2 we minimum is required for Thailand if you’ve got any less than that you really need to
stick to a region either South in the islands or north in the jungles some major festivals to be
aware of is song CR which is basically Thailand’s New Year’s Eve meet a huge Citywide water fight
you’ve actually never done it but it’s really high on the list that is around the 13th of April
every year the other iconic Festival is around about the 15th of November and it is the Tie
Lantern Festival it just looks gorgeous and is celebrated everywhere picture the movie Rapunzel
when she finally goes to see all the floating lights it’s called Tangled all right let’s get
into 10 tips you need to know before traveling Thailand money I’ll let the ex bank manager
handle this one Thailand uses the Thai Bart as its currency it’s relatively strong and consistent
right now a th000 Thai Bart converts into about $3.38 Australian or $29.96 American our best
tip for converting on the Fly is to add a little bit to your conversion so whenever I looked at a
th000 B I just thought that’s $45 Australian that usually covers the pretty expensive ATM fees
depending on how much you get out obviously that is a fast and loose way of converting on the
fly if you want to use a converter you absolutely can speaking of withdrawing the money the ATMs
in Thailand charge about 220 B just to use them that’s about1 Australian dollars just to access
your cash so if you’re comfortable it might be financially prudent of you to withdraw quite
a lot and keep it with you or stash it around in your bags for safekeeping it is definitely
a country where cash is King you can pay card at some establishments but to pay for Tuk to
street food all of the good stuff you’re going to need cash also just a personal experience
thing don’t sleep on the coins they have 10 B coins and I found a lot of them in my bag after
we left Thailand that I could have bought a lot of stuff with safety Thailand is a world tourism
capital and we have never felt unsafe that being said be aware of how much a ride should cost so
you’re not getting scammed make sure you’ve got your bag around your body so you’re not going
to get peckpocket keep an eye on your drink if you’re out partying don’t go down dark Alleyways
if you feel unsafe all of the standard things that I would do in a city anywhere around the world
do them in Thailand SIM cards in the past we have always told people to avoid getting a SIM card at
the airport and instead get them in the city that is still true but we’ve recently come around to
eims and to be honest if you’re on a holiday or a vacation something that’s 1 to 3 weeks eims
make a a lot of sense the fact that you can land in the plane arrive at the airport and be
connected before you walk to passport control is honestly a game Cher If you were in Thailand
for a little bit longer say a month or more you can get cheaper plans at any 7-Eleven definitely
make sure you download and have WhatsApp installed and ready on your phone before you leave your home
country because it does need to verify your number and eims don’t always come with one because
WhatsApp is how you are going to communicate with basically everyone in Thailand from your
hotel to your Tuk Tok driver to booking tours it’s all done through WhatsApp travel between
cities the cheapest way to get between cities in Thailand is unfortunately long buses we’ve
done more buses than we can even remember but it is always consistently the cheapest option
and you can upgrade to like the VIP section or the more luxury style buses sometimes that still
comes cheaper than buying a train ticket another good option is the Thailand rail network it does
go everywhere and is available in three classes you’ve got your third class which is a pretty hard
seat usually no air conditioning and it’s really brutal the second class is a little bit more
plushy and if it’s overnight turns into a lay flat bed it is all the beds in one Carriage kind
of like a hostel but gets the job done or first class is the most expensive one it’s typically
a private cabin with just two of you so a lot more expensive but a lot more comfortable tip if
you go for second class CL is to try and pay the little bit extra to get a bottom bunk because
they don’t turn the lights off during the night and if you’re on the top bunk you basically have
a floresent light in your face Emily got the top punk yeah I’m a bit salty about it still now
obviously if you know your plans ahead of time you might be able to get on a cheap flight they
are really really cheap provided you get them a few weeks in advance this doesn’t normally work
for us cuz we’re quite last minute especially when we’re traveling southeast Asia we also have bags
that need need to be checked in and unfortunately that tends to double the price of flights drinking
water the general rule in Thailand is the bigger the city the safer the water is likely to be
but even locals sort of aren’t 100% trusting on this I would say bu bottled water we’re also
not that concerned with ice it tends to be made from filtered water I don’t know maybe it’s like
a barley an old barley thing everyone was like don’t get ice in your drinks like you’re going
to get barley belly but I never worry about and we’ve knock on wood never had a problem speaking
the language Thailand is one of the most heavily toured countries in the entire world and as such
the locals are incredibly skilled at languages we rarely if ever had a problem conversing
in English however it is not difficult and it’s looked upon very favorably if you do learn
some basic tie hello Isa thank you K another tip if you’re worried about it is to download Google
Translate you can choose tie and download it for offline use so you’ll be able to converse easily
Insurance since we started traveling in early 2022 we view safe doing for all of our travel
medical insurance as a former bank manager and insurance guy I can personally vouch for safety
Wing not only is the level of cover perfect for us as Nomads but every time I’ve had any sort of
question about what’s covered or what’s excluded they’re responding in minutes I honestly think I
might need to apolog oliz to whoever manages the safety Wing chat function because I’m in there
all the time I got to be sure you know he’s a nervous guy arguably our favorite thing about the
safety Wing policies is their subscription payment feature if you’re like us and you don’t really
know where you’re going to be next week let alone next month it’s so good to have the flexibility
to be able to ticket box and change the policy to fit us perfectly which means I can take out a
policy that’s paid monthly and adapts to our needs as we change country and all of this for what is
literally a few dollars a day insurance has come a long way since I was in the bank if you are
looking for a travel medical insurance for your next trip I have left the safety Wing Link in the
description below I highly suggest you check them out before you buy any sort of policy having
them the first time we were in Thailand when we were riding in an ambulance on COA mui just
gave me so much peace of mind that we were going to be okay Ubers and taxis U Uber doesn’t exist
in Thailand in its original form you can kind of think of grab as Uber the thing we love so much
about an order service like that is that you can just punch in where you’re going where you are you
don’t have to negotiate or try and describe the hotel that you don’t know where it is not sure if
the language barrier is going to be a difficulty and you can watch on the map as you go to where
you need to go if we do think a taxi could maybe come in cheaper than that we like to use grab as
a fact finding Mission so we’ll pop in the hotel address dress see how far away it is how much grab
would charge and then we’ll basically try and get it for cheaper with a taxi driver typically works
if you can go down to a Tuk Tok I do think there’s another app that you can get that’s like grabbed
for Tuk TOS I’ll find out what that is and put it on the screen somewhere another thing that comes
in handy for is that they deliver food so cheaply in Thailand so if you’re feeling extra lazy or
you’re having a work day behind your laptops ordering a meal to your hotel has never been
cheaper we got nearon tons of chicken and rice delivered from the other side of Bangkok for I
think the the cheapest we got it was like $3 per container crazy visas and vaccinations this one’s
an easy one and it actually just got easier as an American or an Australian we now get 60 days
Visa free and if you wanted to stay longer than the 60 days you can do Visa runs and just cross
a border into another Southeast Asian country and come back Google that yourself though cuz
we’ve never actually done that we’ve just seen we use a service called sherper travel to confirm
all of our Visa regulations it’s free to use you punch in your passport where you’re going to
from any connections and it spits out Health requirements whether you need to apply for a Visa
a link so you can apply for the Visa we found it after Co and love it speaking of vaccinations that
hot humid climate of Thailand and Southeast Asia can be pretty prominent with insect born diseases
I think the basic recommendation is a malaria and a d fever shot but consult your doctor because
it might be different by now who knows Airbnb versus hotels we’ve used Airbnb all across the
world generally we’ve had good experiences for a cheaper price than hotels but that has slowly
been changing Airbnb prices are increasing and what you’re getting for the price is going down
and I think hotels and websites like booking.com have got incentives and reward programs now that
they’re really trying to compete and often you’re getting like free room upgrades and free breakfast
included so we typically find our hotels through a combination of booking.com aoda and Airbnb find
out what’s going to be the best hotel for us and then look at how much it is to book direct we
found pretty frequently that booking.com or aoda have it cheaper than direct so if you’re willing
to take the time and look at everything you will save a lot of money another key is if you’re
a Booking.com person get the app on your phone because you often get mobile only discounts so for
just switching to my phone and booking my hotel on there I’m saving like 20% sometimes
significantly cheaper crazy don’t know why don’t know those were our most asked questions
through all our Thailand Vlogs obviously if we didn’t answer your specific question feel free to
leave it in the comments below and we’ll answer it as soon as we can but now let’s dive into some
of the biggest tourist spots in Thailand in a bit more detail Thailand is a deceptively big place
with over 1,400 Islands obviously we haven’t seen all of it but we’re going to do our best to cover
the big and tourist hotspot places in the country Phuket if you Google image search Phuket you’ll
see beautiful Clear Water Limestone Cliffs boats floating around a real secluded Paradise the
reality is Phuket is kind of a big island and all that beautiful picturesque stuff is
actually dotted in the small islands around it the most famous of which is Fang n Bay there
are loads of beautiful Tropical Islands in that bay we just we can’t list them all to get there
multiple International or domestic flights will land at Phuket airport and if you’re planned in
advance you can get flights for as cheap as $30 there are also buses that run down from Bangkok
but I think that takes like 20 hours honestly if you’re mid to late 20s or older just fly there’s
no point getting to Phuket and having to struggle with a sawback the whole time where to stay as
for Phuket itself people typically pick one of two places to stay they’re both about an hour
drive south from the airport one of which is quite Beach Centric the other is very much an old
city Patong Beach can be called the party area of Phuket it’s got the famous bang road with dancing
and drinking and lights and sounds and it’s it’s all a bit too much for us but people love it the
next two notable beaches in that area are Kata and kuron they’re much more relaxed peaceful
stop and drop Resort style beaches across on the other side of the island is Phuket Old town
this place is super rich in history it’s got really interesting architecture there’s a couple
of night markets and weekend markets to visit and a really strong historical significance we’ve
linked a couple of places we recommend staying below things to do there are loads of things to do
in Phuket as one of the main hubs in Thailand the most popular thing is to get on a boat and go out
to the different Bays of those islands that we’ve mentioned there are countless tours that will take
you to Mya Bay and PE Island which we’ve heard is just incredible they usually leave Before Sunrise
and include lunch so it’s a full incredibly tiring day but a good way to see a lot in a short amount
of time again we’ll leave this all broken down below with links to all of the tours that we would
recommend there’s also a bunch of the standard thae holiday things you can do like hikes zip
lining and elephant experiences we just recommend only go to the no touch elephant sanctuaries
obviously don’t ride them mhm that’s a no-brainer these days right like we shouldn’t have to say
that Co COI Co Penang the co the co these islands are arguably the most traveled to by tourists and
the one you probably have heard of is co Samui this line of Island sits on the Eastern side of
Thailand and they’re relatively easy to get to how to get there firstly Costa has its own pretty big
airport I don’t know if international flights go directly in there but there are so many domestic
flights every single day it’s pretty easy more often than not a traveler will want to experience
the more local and true way to get there though and there are fairies that take you across again
loads of different companies that do that you’ll need to look online to try for the best one
that suits you for time and price price the ferry Journey takes about 3 hours and depending on
whether it can be pretty rough you can also book it as a package deal so when we were going from
kosui back to Bangkok we had our faery from Ki to the mainland and then the bus connected on from
there we didn’t have to worry about anything it was off of the ferry onto the bus also if you get
seasick just be prepared for that where to stay most people elect to just stay on kosui and do day
trips out to cyang and coot that is a great option it’s going to be a little bit cheaper to have like
a longer term stay somewhere the only exception to that is if you really want to go and do something
specific like kotow has a snorkeling scuba Hub and they teach you how to scuba there if you want to
do that it’s going to make a lot more sense to go and stay on the island and do a 5-day course than
going back and forth every day we’ve heard that cow is some of the best diving people have ever
done and affordable yeah things to do you’re on an island so do all of the island things lay on
the beach go snorkeling go for a swim maybe you want to try scuba diving some people especially on
Co mui will hire a motorcycle drive around to see all of the beaches and the waterfalls be careful
look if you know how to ride one go for it if you don’t maybe don’t do it learn from our mistakes
Bangkok Bangkok is a mega City and pretty much the opposite to everywhere we’ve mentioned so far
it is really tall buildings really loud streets horns blaring your typical Metropolis that being
said this home of 11 million people is still very much worth a visit how to get there Bangkok is
right in the middle of Thailand and odds are if you’re not flying into Phuket you’re probably
flying in there you can also get buses trains everything it’s the capital so basically every
route leads to Bangkok it’s like the middle of a spiderweb and all the rail and all the bus RADS
go everywhere where to stay did we mention Bangkok is really really really big that being said if
you are staying near one of the Metros or the MRT or the sky rail or any sort of public transport
you’re pretty fine the networks around Bangkok are really well connected and you can pretty much get
anywhere you need to go in a reasonable amount of time for not too much money worst case scenario
grab will come to the rescue what to do Bangkok has three main temples the what Arun which we did
it costs 200 tii bar per person entry but you get a little water on that which I think is so nice
it is early I think it’s been open for about an hour or two now but it’s not that busy what pra
and the Grand Palace those two we didn’t do if you’ve got the budget and the time we’d recommend
doing them all if you had to pick one I think what a run is probably going to be the winner anyway
it’s the cheapest so that goes a long way in our books apart from the temples you’ll notice in
Bangkok A River Runs right through the city and you can get different cruises on here ranging from
the cheapest which is basically public transport on the river you can pay for a private boat tour
to all of the sites or what we would recommend a Sunset Cruise along the river buffet dinner it’s
a little bit hectic a little bit crazy little bit dangerous holy but after that first half hour it
settles down and you just get to go past all of these sites and they’re all lit up the city
looks beautiful Bangkok at night looks very different and it’s just as beautiful if you want
to get out of the city a little bit more there are heaps of day trips to choose from one is a super
popular pick you up in the morning take you to the floating market and a train Market give you some
lunch and drive you back getting out of the city and getting into the culture is something that’s
highly recommended to do and this is a good way to do it if you don’t have heaps of time again we’ll
link it down below there are countless markets throughout Bangkok that you should go visit
notable ones are chatu weekend Market Asiatic that was super fun toing chain floating Market J
fair is apparently really cool Sukhothai Sukhothai is our favorite little gem we found this year
while traveling Thailand it is between Bangkok and Chiang Mai and we think it is worth your
time it kind of feels like a Chiang Mai before tourists really got there it’s definitely less
known how’ you get there we recommend keeping it simple and just taking a bus from Bangkok it
is 6 hours and that sounds really really tough especially if you’re only there for a couple of
weeks but we think it’s definitely worth it and the bus ride wasn’t too bad went super quick we
just got to watch the Thailand Countryside go by really not bad just make sure you buy your
tickets to The Old City not to the new city because they are different things and it’s kind of
confusing where to stay Emily kind of touched on already with the bus tickets but sugai is spread
into the old city and the new city there is accommodation almost in The Old City it’s right
near the gate and we stayed in a specific place that was super cheap and we really enjoyed it’s
perfect for a couple of nights we’ll link that in the description below my biggest advice is just
make sure you look at the map when you’re booking it and don’t stay in the new city oh it would be
such a mistake because it means you have to wake up catch a bus with other people then hire your
bike then finally to the ticket office to buy a tickets to the historic site before finally
getting in by the time you’ve done all of those things we’re on to the second temple yeah
and we’re completely alone and you probably have people with you so stay in the old sea things to
do the big calling card and the main reason anyone goes to Sukhothai is the Sukhothai Historical Park
it is epic we loved our time there you can hire a bike for less than a dollar a day and ride around
this Historic Park it is perfectly flat if riding a bike isn’t available to you you can also hire
golf carts or get the electric tram thing that they have going around it is so much fun they
also have tandem bikes which we didn’t know until halfway through but that would have been
fun that would have been fun it’s a great cure for if you’re feeling templed out because it is
very different to the stand in line with a bunch of people it’s really hot in the midday Sun see
a temple it’s cool go somewhere else this is like you’re in the grounds experiencing it typically
solo cuz you can just ride to a different area and there’s no people there you can do a tour
where you would learn a lot more history and facts than we did but we would recommend doing it
independently and trying to research that on your own so you can really appreciate it while you’re
there because we had every single Monument to ourselves for at least 5 minutes I would say each
at least minimum and that was the busiest time so much better a quick note on the tickets for
Sukhothai Historic Park is that they’ve broken up into regions so if you want to try and save some
money you could pick one region I think I’d pick the main one if that was the case I think it’s
100 tie bar per person plus 30 tie B maybe for the bike to be allowed to go in we ended up paying for
two regions because we wanted to see a particular Temple and I think it was worth it totally worth
it I think if you’ve got the time and you’ve got the stamina to keep running around do as much
as possible yeah we would also recommend trying to be there on a Friday or Saturday because on
those days there is a night mark it within the ancient city walls so you literally walk down
buy some food sit down watch the sunset going past this ancient Pagoda it was such a pinch me
moment it’s beautiful and let us know if you find Sukhothai Noodles cuz we couldn’t they’re very
spicy Chiang Mai as you Journey further north the population of elephants and zip lining and
waterfalls and jungle tracks all increases the weather gets a little bit cooler it gets a little
bit more comfortable and without a doubt the crown Jewel of that region is Chiang Mai we don’t know
what it is about this city and we’ve spoken with other digital Nomads it’s like a Sirens call like
no matter what you do in Thailand you need to go to Chiang Mai it literally acts as the central
Hub we were in Northern Thailand we went to Chiang Mai three separate times how to get there
of course being a northern Hub means there’s a lot of different options to get there there is a very
popular airport with flights to and from all over southeast Asia both domestic and international
lots of the buses lead up there most of the train lines finish that’s the furthest North the train
lines go it’s a breeze to get to basically you can pick your poison whichever your favorite
mode of Transport is to get somewhere you can get that to Chiang Mai I think if you’re wanting
to experience what travel in Thailand is really like it’s a great opportunity to do an overnight
sleeper from Bangkok to Chiang Mai that’s a train that takes like 15 hours overnight sleeping
it’s an experience and everyone has to do it you almost have to do the second class sleeper to
do that route otherwise you’re not doing it the right way yeah experience a second class where
to stay Chiang Mai is not short of options of where to stay you can find a place inside the city
walls for relatively cheap we stayed at the Delana which was one street away from the market but we
also stayed in a cheaper place it was a little bit outside of the walls which is only a 10-minute
walk and you were in anyway if you’re looking for something to splurge on about an hour out of
Chiang Mai there is super unique accommodations or if you just want a different side but to
still be quite close to everything Brewery sing Hotel Immaculate another accommodation is
the chaii orchard elephant Sanctuary this is on our Chiang Mai bucket list to this day because
we’re never booked far enough in advance to have hotel rooms available but it looks Sensational
it is an elephant Sanctuary it is ethical and you wake up with the elephants right next to
your room we’ve tried to book it three times and every time they’re sold out so get in early
enough make it the first thing you book when you’re planning to go to Northern Tha what to do
think all things jungle Adventure there are so many different elephant Sanctuary zip lands
jungle tricks anything you can think of you can probably do in Chiang Mai or just around it
Chiang Mai is also home to heaps of unique cafes restaurants amazing accommodations if you want
to splurge for something truly unique you can probably do it from Chiang Mai we even rented a
car in the area and felt completely comfortable weird of course the Sunday night walking Market
needs to be experienced in Chiang Mai it is one of the most famous markets in all of Thailand
it’s super crowded but there’s some pretty good food that we have recommended over and over again
and we’ll recommend again chicken skewers go to Watson Po and get them thank us later if you take
one thing away from this video chicken skewers and go there and take a video post it to Instagram
and tag Us in it so we can be jealous don’t that I need to think about them that often while
you’re at the market as well you should also treat yourself to a massage cuz they are really cheap
and really so relax if you want to get out of the city there’s lots of different pagodas and temples
that you can go to we didn’t feel a strong urge to go and see them all but if you’re in Thailand on a
holiday or a vacation it’s probably worth seeing o another thing that’s super popular to do in Chiang
Mai is a Thai cooking class they look like so much fun you get to go to the market pick up some
food learn how to make all of your favorite dishes and then eat it all Chiang Rai Chiang Rai is
the most northern town in Thailand it’s about a 3-hour drive by bus from Chiang Rai and offers
arguably more stunning at least more interesting temples some people will do this as a day trip
from Chiang mai but we would recommend staying out there 3 hours that 6 hours return for a day
trip no howd to get there we’ve sort of touched on that already there is a a local bus that will
take you from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai it’s only 3 hours and it’s relatively cheap where to stay
Chiang Rai is a pretty small town you’re not going to have too much trouble finding somewhere to stay
that’s Central and also affordable my only advice would be try and stay somewhere near the middle
because it’s not too noisy here and having easy access it’s just going to make life so much easier
what to do there Chiang Rai is home to arguably one of the most famous thae temples the white
temple you will see countless aesthetic Instagram worthy photos that are taken here but we would
recommend the blue Temple I think because we had all the expectations on the white temple and none
for the blue Temple it meant that the blue one just blew us out of the water blue blue blue blue
nice apparently made by the same guy or like the guy and his Apprentice yeah something like that
yeah there’s also something to be said for just walking through the town of Chiang Rai they have
like the historical clock in the center of these roads and like markets like everywhere and it’s
a much calmer Vibe than shangai they also have to this day even though we have been to Italy one of
Jordan’s favorite pizza places yeah it’s top three yeah Pai Pai the hippie town of Thailand it’s up
north quite high in the mountains and is famous for a very relaxed yoga Shaggy from Scooby-Doo
sort of vibe super popular for people on Gap years and people that are just traveling around
on a really Sho string budget hostile Vibes how to get there there are only two ways to get to
buy the first way is to rent a scooter and drive yourself up there the second way the way we did is
no doubt going to be the bus Journey that everyone warns you about in Thailand because there are 762
turns meaning if you get motion sickness take some tablets take a plastic baggie just in case maybe
don’t eat that morning it’s high risk it is not rare for people to feel that sick that they throw
up on the bus which makes everyone else on the bus feel sick and it’s just we got really lucky the
drivers know it’s a very hectic Road up there but they don’t slow down at all no they used to
it they used to it they have a schedule to keep so yeah just be prepared and you should be okay
it is only about 3 to 4 hours there’s a break halfway but yes it is booking those tickets
on the bus you can book them at the station directly it’s a little bit cheaper than booking
online through sites like one to go Asia however if you do that be prepared to wait even though
they go every half an hour we had to wait 2 and 1 half or 3 hours to get on a bus so we highly
recommend just book through one to go Asia wear the extra dollar or two that it’s going to cost
and show up when you’re ready to go where to stay we stayed in the Pai Village Boutique Resort
and loved it they had gorgeous rooms amazing property really well located it’s just adjacent
to the main walking street with all the markets but far enough away that you don’t get any of
that noise and it’s across the road from one of the best Italian restaurants we’ve ever eaten at
I’m pretty sure the hotel’s restaurant is one of the top rated if not the top rated restaurant
in all of Pai as well doesn’t get better than that there are loads of options to choose from
I think just staying Central is quite important because it’s very much a walking sort of town
what to do Pai is the town for relaxing there are lots of those yoga retreats even a few like no
technology yoga retreats up there those speaking Retreats I think I saw places designed to help
you reconnect with nature um which I really want to do one day just wasn’t the time when we were
there the other side of that Spectrum it is also the home of Tipsy Ching which is funny hectic it
is where the entire River turns into only donuts and people floating down drinking and drinking and
drinking music playing a bar floating past maybe you pull over it looks so much fun it is only run
during a particular time of the year because of the weather we actually also saw that you can wi
water off/ tube back to Chiang Mai I think it’s like You Tube half of the way and then you get
a bust the rest of the way but that’s pretty fun still that’s pretty cool there is of course the
iconic bamboo Bridge which we had completely to ourselves there’s Pai Canyon which looks amazing
and every single night there is a market on plus one of the biggest recommendations that we got
from our hotel is go to a place called two Huts at Sunset we had a little bit of cloud cover but
I can see that that would be very beautiful to have a beer kick back watch the sunset it’s just
a really good way to end a day my mouth s from talking to so much and that wraps up our time
in Thailand we really hope you got something out of this Thailand guide and maybe we changed

Thai here. Great video! A little note though, we use the application LINE more than WhatsApp though.
Leaving for 3 months in SE Asia next week and your videos have become our go-to for planning the trip. Thanks guys ❤
This is ann amazing video Jordan and Emily. Thank you for this video.
Currently planning a trip for this November. Very helpful information and I’m now reconsidering adding some places to visit that I was even aware of.

Not travelling for a couple of weeks yet but wondered how far in advance to get a eSIM (my first) just don’t want to forget to do it lol
What’s the minimum amount of time should someone vacation in Thailand?
I’m Thai living in Perth Australia, thank you very much guys for a lovely VDO and showing the world how beautiful Thailand is. We’re welcome everyone to explore see a beautiful scenery a beautiful Thai people, countryside and our beautiful culture. Thanks so much guys, ❤👏🙏🇹🇭 Shukhothai will be our next trip after we watch your vdo, I’m gonna take my husband there 😍
Would loooove the name of the pizza place! 😜
Would you recommend book accommodations and bus tickets after arrive Bangkok? Or book ahead of time?
Coming from the US , what would be best and most affordable way to fly to Thailand considering how long the flight is?
Great video! Just wondering what the process is like to take a drone into Thailand to take some aerial videos
Very useful vlog
Thank you
Good day ,I am from south Africa and a I have R30 000 saved up for my trip to Thailand. Which is around 50 000 bah. Is this enough in your opinion ?to see all the things mentioned.
Check out our detailed Thailand guide covering all the details and itinerary you need to know – https://youtu.be/w5cAwHB2Uqc
Such a great video, so informative and great details. I will be using this as a guide to plan my trip to Thailand. Would love to see more guides set out like this of other countries you visit. See the potential of you guys being the Aussie Kara and Nate.
What about internet? Do you recommend getting an eSIM or just buying a chip in Thailand??

This is the most helpful and informative video I’ve ever found about Thailand travel. Thanks so much!!!!
KRABIII ?
We are going to do a trip this December – do you recommend going from North to South (Pai to Koh islands) and finishing on the relaxing beaches… or the opposite? Thanks!
Esim for one month¿
Great that
Thanks, I really enjoyed your video. Very helpful and informative!
Amazing! Thank you so much, we are planning for 2026! I'm all about seeing the temples and the white and blue ones ❤ i never knew existed. It's definitely on the itinerary, and I really appreciate your video ❤
you guys talk too much !Less talking and straight to the right information.
What a content! Well done and thank you guys!
thai lantern festival followed by the fire season
I don't think I'll be avoiding alleyways just because dark people are down there but the rest of the tips seem good
Thank you to you both. I will be 75 during my trip to SE Asia in 2026. I'm planning a 75 day tour to celebrate all those years around the sun. I am no stranger to travel. I am British Canadian but I have lived in Spain for 29 years this year. Am I excited? You bet. Am I scared? Yes, I admit I am. I have realised that there are a lot of things I can do in my head that my body is likely to say "No way! in warning. Justifiably. Your videos, all of them, give me that little boost of extra courage I need. I'll keep your videos handy for whenever I have a few shadows of doubt! You have produced some beautiful and welcoming work and the love between you shines though every frame. Happy to be a subscriber.

Thank you
lol you sound just like my husband when you said MANGO STICKY RICE. He really loves it too. And would eat it any chance he got. 😂
use apps for tuk tuk not cash!!!! ALWAYS get a sim card at the airport, so you have internet on the ride to the hotel. ITS SOOOO MUCH CHEAPER THAN esims!!!! NEVER drink tap water, no local would ever drink from the tap. Ice cubes are 95% delivered, not safe to drink.
Im starting to ask myself why you are making up so much BSHeyyy yalll, I have a question. How did yall get from Sukhothai to Chiang Mia? Is there a train station near by ?
Complimenti sinceri per il video! Io ho viaggiato molto ma i viaggi che ritengo più completi sono quelli che mi avevano permesso di raggiungere la Thailandia dove ero rimasto estasiato di fronte a spiagge e paesaggi paradisiaci a Phuket, a Phi Phi Island, Maya Bay e Krabi! incantato anche dagli spettacolari tramonti visibili a Patong beach, meta giornaliera delle navi da crociera, cui assistevo trasognato ogni sera e per ricordare i quali ho inserito, alla fine del mio video album! Assorbito integralmente anche dall'atmosfera orientale e magica la quale, soprattutto presso i templi Buddisti visitati, come Chalong e il Big Buddha, aveva permesso di innescare un approfondito percorso introspettivo il quale aveva poi favorito e determinato il raggiungimento di una pace interiore molto simile al Nirvana! Estasiato anche da un altro viaggio, sull'altra costa orientale dove esplorato Koh Samui: esplorato di spiagge paradisiache e incontaminate, templi incredibili con statua enorme del Buddha detta "Big Buddha" e avventura nella jungla selvaggia attraverso la quale avevo raggiunto la cascata di Hin Lad dove avevo rischiato l'incolumità dopo l'incontro con un cobra! Avevo fatto escursione in battello in incantevole parco marino di "Ang Thong", disseminato da molte isole selvagge dove visitato un isola con lago salato all'interno di un vulcano spento, poi in altra isola mi ero cimentato in una ardua scalata, resa ancora più impegnativa e difficoltosa a causa di una temperatura oltre i 40* aggravata da un altissimo tasso di umidità ma, una volta raggiunta la vetta, lo spettacolo incomparabile dell'arcipelago mi aveva ampiamente ripagato dell'enorme sforzo sostenuto!. A Koh Samui rilassato con nuotate nelle spiagge di Chaweng e Lamai. A Bangkok ammirato dalla bellezza di vari templi, in particolare il Palazzo Reale con il Buddha di Smeraldo e il Tempio con il Buddha Sdraiato.
Thank you!! Followed on IG! Happy travels 🎉❤
