  Thai&apos;s here, born and raised in Bangkok<br>We Thais are always really sorry about the air quality, the Tuktuk and taxis scam, the holes in some pavements and other madness (like the flood in rainy season) that might come across while exploring the city<br>BUT we will ALWAYS welcome everyone here like guests of our home!<br><br>Thx for the vid as well!! &nbsp;<br>As a Thai, I can approve that this vid is super accurated and very useful too!! 👍✨<br><br>※Just a little advice as a local, when you come to the 7-11 in Thailand, don&apos;t miss the hot sandwiches!! 🥪<br>You&apos;ll thank me later 😉

  If someone approaches you and with a big smile asks you where you&apos;re from, don&apos;t give them easy places like Europe, America or anything familiar because they will use that to latch onto you.. Rather say : Tanzania, Kenya, Tasmania, Burkina Fasso (even when you&apos;re caucasian 😋😉) and you&apos;re an expat. Instant conversation killer. I tried it and it worked.

  Tip: When you get off the plane and head to your first ATM, If you want 10,000 BAHT get 9,900. &nbsp;This way you will small bills to get you started.

  This is accurate and useful information.. I’m Thai and living in Bangkok.. I always avoid and also tell my foreigner friends who come to travel here to do the same about Tuk Tuk and Taxi..I know there are good taxi driver out there but if some even scam local Thai I think it happen a lot more to tourist.. BTS, MRT, boats or any Apps like Grab are better option in this city, don’t risk and spoil the trip by being scam.

  As someone who is half Thai and has been traveling back every year my whole life, I can say you are spot on with every point. Great video!

  What shocked me most was every little nook and cranny, ally, back road, etc. had some kind of business or multiple businesses. I could not imagine anyone knowing those business were there or how they stay in business, yet people seemed to find them. I felt like I could walk around the immediate area of the hotel for days and not find or see all the stores and businesses.

  I visited Bangkok mid November for the first time and was not sure what to expect before arriving. The city can be overwhelming and chaotic, but at the same time very fun and very cool. I enjoyed it a lot and Bangkok is certified awesome in my book 😃

  Sensory overload (in a great way:)! The night life was a bit cringe 😬 but the food, the malls/shopping, night food markets 🐷, smoking spots, the people and overall vibe is awesome 👏🏾 <br>It was a quick first trip while visiting Bali so next time I’ll get to see and eat more 😊

  Never been to Thailand and it never appeal to me &amp; my husband, but when i lost my husband 3yrs ago, it intrigued me to go as life is too short but I watched some dodgy YouTube videos on Phukett and Pataya OMFG 😮😢😮😢 it really put me off!!!! &nbsp;however seeing your video make me want to go. I am vietnamese and fly to Vietnam every year to visit my father, iam thinking of flying to Thailand for 10 days and see what is like, THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO
