I usually meet and greet my friends at the airport and along the way we talk about the
things that they have prepared and packed before coming to Thailand and trust me guys
90 of the things that they do is not necessary [Music] [Applause] [Music] so good morning
everyone good morning from Bangkok and exactly from one of the most beautiful places in Bangkok
icons today I'm here to share with you 12 things that you should not do before coming
to Thailand or maybe not pack while you are coming to Thailand [Music]
now the first thing I want to talk about is the credit card or cash situation many of
you think what to carry with cash or credit cards or bought the problem here in Thailand
and usually in most of the foreign countries are the percentage that they take when you
withdraw cash from your debit or credit cards so the rates are high and I don't recommend
you to use your credit cards as the primary payment option [Music] thank you so how much
cash to carry well you can bring as much as you can according how long you are going to
stay and how much you are willing to spend so carry cash with your foreign currencies
and you can convert here with good rates better than paying for credit card transactions so
keep in mind you don't need your credit card here unless you are out of cash
girl [Music] okay this one is really important why to book your tours or transportations
or rent a car online before even you come to Thailand that's not a good idea guys most
of the time the services or tours you will book online will be much higher cost than
the ones that you can book once you land in Thailand concerning the tours they are everywhere
you can bargain negotiate and guess what when it's low season you will get the lowest price
that won't happen online another thing the transportation services and current are a
lot here too so why to get the high priced ones foreign
[Music] here is another thing those who carries maps and need for tour guides or directions
to explore historical places or famous landmarks Thailand is one of the beautiful places on
the Earth where you can explore everywhere without Maps or guides everything is online
the maps the guides the advices and easy to navigate in the capital city or even in the
islands so why to carry Maps or guided when you can explore without extra costs [Music]
foreign [Music]
now that you know about the things that you should not do before coming to Thailand let's
talk about the things that you should not pack while you are coming to Thailand foreign
simple medical tablets or medicines no need at all I have lots of questions last time
about this matter and what to bring and not to bring let me make it simple you don't need
paracetamols panados Advils or such stuff all these things with vitamins and more are
available in 7-Elevens and markets no need even to go to the pharmacy just enter grab
what you want and pay as simple as that [Music]
thank you
now if you are sick in Thailand and you need simple medications for cough flu and such
things yet again you can visit the nearest pharmacies and trust me you will get the best
local medicines with good prices and fast recovery but if you need prescribed medications
then bring it with you as much as you need and no problem at the airport as long as it's
your own medications so no need for carrying usual simple medications get it from here
[Music] thank you
toiletries leave them home don't bring them to Thailand again 7-Elevens can be the best
place to get all your need for your vacation so I see many of my friends coming to Thailand
worried about their toothpaste perfumes deodorants and more just go to any 7-Eleven get what
you want why for that mess in your bag moreover you have here all the latest brands with many
promotions so try new things unless you are so sensitive then get your creams with you
[Music]
thank you
[Music] [Applause] here is another thing electrical adapters and useless cables guys this is Thailand
first the wall plugs are international no matter what kind of plug you have you can
adapt it second most of the hotels have adapters in case if you need third if you want to buy
one an electrical stuff just go to any market and you will find things that are not available
even in your own country and guess what with very cheap prices so why to carry all this
stuff if you don't need them [Music] foreign [Music] you are in vacation you want to have
some beautiful pigs in Thailand well that does not mean you should pack your fancy clothings
this is Thailand and it's hot most of the time if not all around the year so you won't
be wearing your fancy clothes in 40 degrees or maybe your fancy shoes in the rain ordered
and if you are wondering what to wear in fancy places a pair of jeans will do okay moreover
if it's cold in the North or maybe in the SkyTrain then a light jacket will be okay
so don't over pack its waste of space and time and extra weight
[Music] thank you [Music] [Applause]
[Music] it rains in Thailand and yes you have rainy season but no need for raincoats here
in Thailand most of the rainy days you can survive even when you are wearing your shorts
and t-shirts moreover you can buy the raincoat which cost only 50 Thai baht with different
colors and enjoy walking in the rain and yes the weather is so hot also towers are available
in the hotels in the hostels in the condos you rent or maybe the service Apartments so
keep such stuff at home foreign
[Music]
