Every time I visit Thailand, I am at my happiest. The people of Thailand have taught me to be more friendly and very patient. If things were by my way, I would be a citizen of Thailand even now.
thanks again for a very informative video Palm. You made me aware of the Thai holidays which I never had even thought about before. So thankyou and I look forward to learning more from you 😉
I admire your patience about your time and stay calm attitude in the clinic situation you gone through to share it. As for me such similar situation and condition had happened to me over here in my own country when I had visited the Bank branch. I could not control my anger and patience. When I had missed my queue nos. I approached one of the bank counter staff with anger and quite bad attitude to speak up loudly with the staff to let other customers hear and know my situation there that my queue nos was not called up to let me know when I had missed it, but other queue nos was been called. I hope your favorite coffee candy did not have high sugar content very sweet taste and not affected your health condition especially for your teeth, it is always better to avoid sweet snacks/stuffs with more than 8 or 10 gm can be seen and check on the labels on it, for your better health, take care.
Thank you for sharing your experience and the kind advice! I’ll definitely keep an eye on those coffee candies and enjoy them in moderation. 😊 Take care, and I hope your next bank visit goes smoothly!
Dear Ling noi, what good ideas you are giving. First, the story with the Russian guy in my age. You only pay for a home stay in rural Thailand, coming back with a bunch of children without having to work on the Mama before. How genial! As for the patience I remember a wisdom of old Chinese Confucius: If you want to get a pretty nurse you have to be patient. 😅. Bye, see you soon again, K
Haha, thanks for the laugh and the wisdom! 😄 I see you're enjoying the humor and sharing some great thoughts. I love the Confucius quote, it’s all about patience! Take care, and see you again soon!
Here’s the problem about clothes I’ve recently discovered. They don’t make size for western size. Asian large is a farang small. And pants only seem to come in a 32 inch inseam. Went to multiple malls multiple stores both high end and low end. Everything 32 inch. Nothing else.
In-seams not a problem. Plenty of ladies have sewing shops that will hem your pants for 80 baht or less. As far as shirts and T=shirts plenty of places sell up to 4 XL or more. I have noticed T-shirts do shrink when dried in a electric dryers so take that into consideration. Clothes are fairly cheap so don't over pack.
I must agree to having patience in Thailand 🇹🇭. I sent myself money through western union, I had my passport. The ccashier didn't give me money because my middle name wasn't on the paperwork. I had to cancel the order, do another order with my middle name. If front of her. The sender name is the same as the passport. I was frustrated.
It is what it is. and your paperwork wasn't in order. they do follow procedures and rules here which in the west can seem a bit maddening but here it is the way.
interesting as always! about motorbikes, I've always heard that it's super dangerous to drive a motorbike in Thailand..but I think it's exaggerated! it's maybe dangerous in some areas of Bangkok and the other big cities. but in the country side where there is not much traffic, of course it can't be that dangerous! sorry about your food poisoning in the Philippines. I have been food poisoned in Bangkok a few times..for example from one of those juice presses on the street where they sell freshly squeezed orange juice. I guess they don't clean those juice presses very often...I lost 6 kg in 24 hours and it was really bad. 🤢but I got better after about 1½ days. but I will never drink from those orange juice street vendors again 😵💫I am much more careful now 😇 about the Thai holidays, yeah I remember going from Bkk to Hua Hin during a Thai holiday..had to wait at Mo Chit terminal all night, the terminal was jam-packed and I arrived at my hotel in Hua Hin at 3 am in the morning 😆avoid the holidays! still love Thailand though😅
Thanks for sharing your experiences! 😊 You’re right about motorbikes, it’s much safer in the countryside compared to big cities like Bangkok. As for food poisoning, losing 6 kg in 24 hours sounds awful! 😵💫 Glad you recovered quickly. And yes, Thai holidays are wild! 😂
as always great advice, I hope to move to chiang mai area in the future as a mid 50's Man i have been to Chiang Mai 4 times and i feel its a good place as its easy to get to mountains and small villages around there and be close to a vibrant city 🙏
'take time before you decide' ... is 6 month good time to think and watch Palm for awesome tips... spring 2025 feels so super distant still... btw my middle name is patience xD i am all over-relaxed type :p I might take it easy when arrive... less being drunk first days could help ease on scammer issues lol
I have yet to meet a Thai person that was not welcoming and kind. they truly are spiritual and family oriented. as a foreigner, and new to Bangkok, I feel like an outsider looking in at times. but occasionally I get a glimpse of what with Thai society is like on a close personal basis. and needless to say I love it here. if you're coming for a holiday then yeah don't bring too much. if you're coming to stay permanently don't bring anything that doesn't work here. I got rid of quite a lot of things before making the move and while I had to replace some of those things here, they work with the voltage. however I am a big guy, 188 cm and 87 kg, size 12 shoe😅 not easy to find clothing here for me but not impossible either. having some kind of travel insurance is good to have and if you live here permanently is necessary but expensive as you get older and unfortunately there are no laws that govern pre-existing conditions. and so if you have any they will not cover those. for instance I have seasonal allergies and they will not cover anything related to that. well that's not a big deal other things like high blood pressure could be.. and of course as you get older it gets more and more expensive. some just self-insure it, and if you have a couple million baht that you can set aside for just that it might be a better choice. for now though I do have health insurance both in the US and in Thailand. Patience, and a sweet smile will go a long way here in Thailand. khob khun khrup palm.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences! 😊 It’s wonderful to hear how much you love Thailand and appreciate its culture. Your advice about packing, health insurance, and patience is spot-on and super helpful for anyone considering the move. 🙏✨
One suggestion regarding scooter or car rental......if you haven't been to Thailand before and haven't driven in countries where you drive on the left side of the road, it might be a good idea to take taxis (scooter or car) for the first few ventures in the city. Traffic "laws" are more like guidelines in Thailand, and it can get pretty crazy during busy times. Once you have acclimated, it's not too bad, but I regularly see foreigners having trouble negotiating heavy traffic.
Driving in Thailand is quite easy, once you start to think with a Thai mindset. If a open-back 4x4 is laden with fruit and driving slowly it's liable to turn left or right or do a U-turn just when you don't think anyone would regardless of the road nor any road signs visible. You might read endless notes on driving in Thailand but as a non-Thai you are most likely to drive into the back of another car or fail to understand why so many severed branches appear on the carriage way. 🚙
Haha, so true! Once you embrace the Thai mindset, driving becomes a bit more understandable. Those sudden turns and unexpected moves can definitely catch you off guard if you're not used to it. Thanks for sharing your perspective! 🚙
Insurance - If you are coming to Thailand for a vacation, get travel insurance. If you are moving here to live, be really careful on the policy. If you have pre-existing conditions like high cholesterol and hypertension, and you have a heart attack, the insurance will not cover it. I self insure myself.
Loving your English and accent 👌 I been rocking with you a couple months now and I hope you cross that 10k even before the new year. Can you suggest a rural area that wouldn't be too far from all the fun action via taxi or motor bike? Thanks
Thanks so much for the support and kind words! 😊 I appreciate you rocking with me! For a rural area near the action, If you love nature, Pai or Lampang are perfect choices. If you're more into beaches, then Hua Hin is a great option. They're peaceful but still within reach of bigger cities by taxi or motorbike. It really depends on what you're looking for!
I live & love Bangkok , but I do like the quieter places like Ubon R & K Kaen .. I might move to one of those places next year & driving will be a bit less stressful too 😅
Wow, Palm once more, all around the week 😊 Here another contribution to your new aircon. Keep cool 😎
Thank you so much for your generous support and Super Thanks! 🙏😎 I really appreciate it, and the new aircon will definitely come in handy! Stay cool, and thanks for being awesome!
