I lived in Thailand for 12 years .One point i would correct you on is to never give your passport when you are renting a scooter/small motorcycle.Just give them a photo copy plus a deposit usually one or two thousand baht .

My tip for Thailand, don't spent too much money on luxury hotels, use it for travelling or at least for guided trips. Makes the holiday a lot more interesting and fun, unless you are a 100% beach person.

For anyone watching, the cheap sunglasses can be dangerous. You need polarized lenses to avoid UV damage, but often cheap sunglasses are just dark plastic, which the open your iris even wider, increasing UV damage. Always get certified polarized lenses!

Bring plenty of cash or as much as you are allowed, for Canada its 10,000 in cash although I would avoid the max amount. Next, bring a carry on suitcase, avoid big cases, bring several pairs of underwear, socks, few pairs of shorts and short sleeve shirts, shaving gear and whatever toilet accessories you prefer. Keep in mind, you will probably buy a large suitcase and more than enough stuff to fill it when you leave on your return trip home. There are shops you can walk in pay a few baht to use a computer, no need to bring a laptop or any electronics unless you have to. Go to a bank, open a bank account and put your cash in, get a bank withdrawal card and use it while you travel around Thailand. Many places will not accept credit cards, DO NOT use ATM's as they eat cards and you are stuck without one. Go to a bank and use over the counter withdrawals only.

I love the video, informative, fun and understandable. Myself coming from Germany lived in Portugal, the Canary Islands and since 22 years in Florida and now on my way to move to Thailand in 2021, every bit of information is appreciated.

In thailand you just bring your passpost money and mobile phone .they have everything you need . Please smile first when you talk to thai people beacuse thailand is land of smile . You smile it easy to talk :)

This is the best what to and not to pack video I've seen. However, there are a few things people should know. Cheap clothes often bleed a lot in the wash. Cheap sunglasses often have defects, so examine them carefully. And most important is, NEVER surrender your passport to a hotel or bike rental or any other business. NEVER! Allow them to make a copy or provide them with a copy, but NEVER let them hold your passport! They may put up a fight, but ultimately they know you can refuse. This is a common way to steal passports, so don't take that risk. Also, if you have a smart phone you can keep photos of your picture page and visa stamps on it. This will be fine for most things, if you have the passport back in your hotel room safe.

Bugs and mosquitoes are my biggest concerns while traveling in the tropics! Thank you thank you for your tips and advise. No where else could I find travel tips on such subjects, your video is really helpful!

Really liked your video.. confirming some points and giving some useful info. Thanks

Totally agree with your sunscreen and cash advice. Years ago when we didn't have an ATM card that refunded the fees, we were shocked by the ATM fees over there.

Thanks for the info. Definitely useful stuff for all the travellers. 🙌 Smile more
