good morning everyone good morning from bangkok thailand so as usual i am here
every weekend to update you or give you some tips that will make your vacation better in thailand so
today's vlog is about what are the tips that you should follow in order to stay safe in thailand
so first of all guys as i said is thailand safe for tourists the short answer was yes but if
we go into the details there are some tips that you should follow in order to stay safe
and enjoy your vacation to the maximum so let us start it from the first one
so first of all guys i'm gonna give you this important tip open your eyes your mind and
use your all sensors 360 degrees this is thailand and the roads are super dangerous
if you don't pay attention then you will be in trouble so let's talk about this point
well my friends most of the roads the streets in thailand has signs and directions but that does
not mean that they can keep you safe because most of the rules and especially the rules of traffic
in thailand are made to be broken guys this is thailand and the most dangerous thing in it
are the roads as i said it doesn't matter if there are signs or directions or rules
that does not mean you can walk without paying a lot of attention for example you look at the
sign it's red and you will wait till it's green and after that start walking or crossing to the
opposite side very well but still motorbikes taxis tuk-tuks will pass by so keep your eyes wide open
the second tip of today is that don't be a cheap charlie don't stay
anywhere just because you are saving money so guys keep that in mind
if you are choosing where to stay always choose wisely even though it's little bit
more expensive from the places that you could be achieved charlie so let's talk about this point
so many tourists try to find very cheap accommodations in order to save money well
that's so reasonable thing to do but guys this is thailand not venice so first you won't be saving a
lot because most of the accommodations even in good areas are not so expensive and sometimes
a 5 star hotel like 4 or 3 star same price due to promotions and of course the season
so by saving couple of dollars and staying in cheap places with not much security or cleanness
you are exposing yourself for unsecured situations i'm not saying it happens always but it happens
so why not pay a little bit more and stay in a better place and of course more safe as a tourist
so as you see guys if you pay a little bit more then you are going
to buy your safety so keep that in mind and always choose wisely where to stay
even though you are paying a little bit more now let's talk about another team
well another tip which is so important is that navigate more
but stay visible this is so important if you want to explore thailand more explore it
but always stay visible let's talk about this point
thailand has many hidden streets areas even entire districts where you will be excited to explore
and check the mystery or the history among these places but guys why to do that there
are many places you can explore and see the same things but in more visible areas and safer
as you see guys thailand has many hidden districts but you don't have to explore
all of them if you want to stay safe so keep that in mind
well it's really nice to explore a country by a car motorbike
or maybe a scooter but in thailand maybe you should think twice
i love to explore thailand by driving cars motorbikes even scooters along the narrow
streets it's really nice and exciting but wait rewind what nice and exciting i don't think so
let me tell you if you love to get stuck in traffic for hours especially in the capital
city bangkok or maybe explore crazy motorbikes and tuk-tuks passing around
or maybe a super high speed truck than drive in thailand
well my friends as you saw dangerous roads
very hectic traffic this is thailand if you want to drive and explore the country
maybe you should think twice and take the public transportations and all the transportations
that are available in this beautiful country rather than driving by yourself so think twice
don't be guided easily don't follow anyone telling you that we are going to show you interesting
things or maybe do this or that be wise and don't follow easily especially in the touristic areas
many touristic places are full of misleading guides near the
temples historic landmarks and the nightlife spots
i call them tourist hunters they will approach to you and tell you what to do and what to see
and once you jump in then you will lose your money and time and most of the times scammed
so once you see this misleading guide smile and say thank you and
if you need any assistance surely you will find when you asked locals around
well guys this is thailand party yes drink yes but don't get wasted especially in bizarre places
thailand the land of smiles and parties and surely it will be tempting to drink to party
and have some wild moments but don't get wasted many places with cheap drinks and even free ones
but these places don't serve the best drinks or quality ones so you might order a bucket and
end up wasted because of the local mixed drinks or maybe a glass of local whiskey
which is like 10 glasses of non-brands my advice to you know your limits and things will be fine
well as you saw my friends it's really
nice to party in thailand but keep in mind don't get wasted
i'm a youtuber yes i'm a vlogger yes yes but i cannot point my camera everywhere especially
in the nightlife squad so you should not point your camera everywhere and respect private spaces
you go in thailand without your phones and cameras it will be not wise because you have
many things to capture and keep them memories while you are enjoying your vacation and tell
the stories by showing the capture pictures once you are back home now that's fine but don't point
your cameras everywhere respect private spaces especially at the nightlife spots and you will
be happier and safer because there are many places where filming or taking pictures are not permitted
and doing so will not be a good idea unless you will end up paying fines or getting into troubles
guys don't eat anything or try everything especially the bizarre ones this is thailand
you have crocodiles bugs scorpions so you don't have to try everything
unless you want to book couple of nights in the hospital
i see tourists for the sake of taking pictures eating and trying bizarre things
well that's cool you can eat scorpions bugs crocodiles and more but it's not cool when
you end up with stomach or in the hospital why to do that just to take some pictures
yes locals can eat and they are used to it but you are not so think twice before you eat a bite
well guys now we come to the part where i am going to tell you what to carry and
not to carry while you are wandering and exploring around while you are in thailand
never ever carry your passport original documents while you are out unless you want to use them at
the airport or for an official purpose always do copies of them and put them in your bag so
if anything happens you will show the copies and losing an original document will be a big trouble
for you even don't handle your original passports for unofficial authorities keep this in mind
so guys always carry your important documents with you the copies not the original ones
besides the numbers that you might use if you had any trouble outside of your hotel
be careful while you are walking talking and shopping
especially in crowded places even though you are not carrying a lot
now even though you are not carrying two valuable things but of course you are
carrying some like your phone your cameras your laptops maybe and some cash so why to
lose them usually thailand is so crowded in the shops markets and walking streets
till now nothing bad happened with me but as a precaution try to put them in safe places
not in loose backpacks or pockets so that's another tip for you not only for thailand
well guys my last tip is that keep calm smile and
don't get angry especially with tuktuk taxi drivers and annoying vendors
two trucks taxis and annoying vendors welcome to thailand you will find them standing almost
in every touristic area and waiting for you they won't get tired to offer you the same
thing 100 times daily so don't get angry or lose your temper smile and just say no even
if you hear the same offer for 1000 times after all you are here for a vacation not for troubles
so my friends i hope you enjoyed this vlog and had an idea about
some of the tips that might keep you safe while you are enjoying your vacation in
thailand thank you for watching stay tuned and subscribe for more from live love island
