one two three
hello everyone and welcome back again into another vlog from live love thailand
so after two weeks of thailand reopening to international tourists
and all the entry details and paperwork that we have updated you till now
the most frequently asked question was should we travel to thailand now or wait and if we should
what are the advantages and the disadvantages and if we wait what could possibly be better
in this vlog we are going to talk about the two options first if we travel now second if we wait
and what's the best option for each one of us moreover at the end of this vlog i am going to
tell you my suggestions or my opinion and after all it's up to you to decide if it's time to pack
your bags or wait a little bit and watching this vlog could help you to take the right decision
let's say yes you have already waited a long time for thailand reopening
and now you are so excited to jump into the plane and enjoy a vacation and ready to grab all
the advantages of traveling now and face all the obstacles no matter what so what should you expect
the first obvious thing which no matter what happens you will enjoy the cool season yes cool
season is back or we may say the high season and the weather in thailand will turn from wet and
rainy into cool and sunny and this is a wonderful time to start planning your trip to thailand
well now you may say it doesn't matter for you cool or dry or may be wet but i say it's matters
a lot in thailand since most of your trips and daily schedules has lot to do with the weather
then why not to grab this opportunity and enjoy thailand to the max
so as you see it's not bad timing to travel to thailand now
the second thing you may enjoy or realize if you are in thailand now is that it's not busy it does
not mean if thailand has reopened that the action is back fully yes there is a change since november
1 but still needs time to bring thailand to the old good days so if you like to explore thailand
and stay away from the crowds then it's time and these are some examples that you can enjoy
the historical famous landmarks in thailand especially in the capital city bangkok like
grand palace what or what our own are all calm and the visit to them will be wonderful if you don't
like touristy and crowded places you can explore them take your favorite pictures and enjoy the
ambiance trust me once tourists are back you won't even breathe in these places so it's now or never
you want to enjoy a tour a boat trip any famous tour in the capital city or the islands then again
it's the best time to take the trip you will enjoy all the privileges and moreover the best prices
tour operators want to come back to the market and they will try their best to police you
if you ever want to stay in a 5 star hotel and pay the half price
then this is also the best time just by checking the booking websites you will realize that the
options are a lot and the most luxurious hotels and accommodations are available
with very affordable prices and you can never have these options once the tourists are back
now besides all we have mentioned you have also the malls and the markets
it's the best time for shopping in thailand especially in the capital city bangkok
where you can grab the best items with the best offers
and get your favorite new year and christmas gifts moreover you can hit the famous markets
like chatuchak and pratunam and shop without even getting bothered since it's not busy yet
i am sure after hearing all about these good options you are thinking then it's time to jump
into the plane well i say wait and listen about the disadvantages and you may change your mind
there is too much hustle in order to enjoy everything we mentioned till now and it's not like
the old days where you can book a plane ticket get your visa and be ready for your vacation
lots of paperwork are waiting for you to prepare and apply and to be fit and we don't have to
mention them since we have talked about each one of them in details but trust me even it seems so
easy it's like a university application follow the steps upload the right documents wait the
results revise if not okay do it again till you can get your pass well it's easy and not easy
it's simple and not simple so we can call it a hustle and that's the situation till now
besides the paperwork there are extra cost and when i say extra cost i mean things you
have to pay before even starting to enjoy your vacation like insurance special hotel reservations
pcr tests and more and all this can be nothing for some and can be the budget for some others
the last thing i can mention in the disadvantages
is that thailand needs time to be just like the old good days
the action is still not the same tourists need more easing steps to be back on track we need
to wait unless as i said before if you like to see thailand in another way then it's time
now let's say you don't want all the hustle although there are some advantages
what happens if you wait what are the advantages of waiting rather than jumping into the plane now
well it could be better options and all the complications we mentioned could be gradually
solved because this is a trial phase and by time things can be more simplified
less paperwork less requirements and hence less expenses these things could happen in the second
or the third phase and once it happens can open up the way for more regular tourists to
travel to thailand without having concerns about the applications or the requirements
but as i said it needs time so if you are not in a hurry then better wait
so when we say less requirements less expenses then it means more tourists which leads into
busy streets busy life more action and thailand can be back just like the old good days and
you can enjoy everything from historical places into tours markets nightlife and more but again
it needs time and it all depends what will happen in the first phase
in my opinion if you are ready to do all the hustle and pay extra then why not go for it and
have fun as much as it possible these days but if you can wait it's way much better and the best is
yet to come and thailand will not go anywhere wait and you will enjoy more wait and you will
pay less so that's my advice to you i hope you enjoyed this vlog thank you for watching see
