Wow thank you so much!! This is the first superthanks for us 🥹 It means a lot that you appreciated our video as much and gives us a lot of energy to continue making these videos. Thanks again and have a great day! 🙏
Thanks for watching! Please give us a 👍 if you liked the video ❤
Welcome to Thailand and you will be the first YT to know that the airport name actually pronounced "Su_Wan_Na_Phum"😊 It's sansakrit language influenced. Have a good trip. Bye.
Thank you very much! 😊🙏
which means land of gold.
Hope you have a great time in Thailand
Thanks! 😊🙏
That 1200 baht for sim is way too expensive , in town its 300 to 400 baht for one month unlimited data ...
I really wonder if this is for this package from True. This is 5g, unlimited data, 30 days. We also see this price on their website. We do know of cheaper ones from other providers or with different speed or limited data for sure.
@@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee Not sure but i was there last year and the same deal for 400 baht in town, and in airport it was 800 baht so do think they are over charging in airport it has increased by 400 baht
That's a big difference indeed! With the one we got the price was printed on the package.
I always choose the Ais package, and i haven"t gotten better price from 7/11 stores, and i think the price is ok anyway.
When it comes in taxis, they often try to charge more adding different extras, but i have solved the problem by ordering a taxi in advance from a reliable company, although i travel a longer distance where the price difference can be bigger.
Thanks for the tips! 🙏
Thanks for sharing. Very informative
That's great to hear! 🙏
Thanks very informative and interesting. You have a lovely family. Best Regards.
Thanks so much, that's great to hear! 🙏
Get your True SIM from the airport 7/11 so much cheaper, Use bolt Taxi which is cheaper too they collect you outside on the departure floor
Thanks for the tips!
Awesome tips great video! thank you
Thanks happy to hear that! 🙏
Nice video ❤👍
Thanks so much Ella!
Great video! We hope you have a great time in Bangkok :)
Thank you very much! 🙏
Report the car plate to AOT if you got an offer fixed price from their taxi. AOT will fine them.
No need for that. People try to make an extra buck here and there. We're here to give tips not fines 😉
Or you can pay for fast lane which costs around 1300 baht per person and they even greet you at the air bridge and personally walk you through.
Interesting, thanks! 🙏
Oh and that service is available both for arrival and departure. Many airports around the world offer a similar service.
Good to know!
Awesome but there is an app now that works in most countries, an online SIM card for your phone. Just turn the app on when you land x
Great thanks for the tip!
Finally got my visa to visit Thailand for 3 months who will guide me.🎉
Hope our video's will help a bit with that :) Have fun!
Enjoy watching! Great video!!
Thanks a lot! Great to hear 😃
I am of the impression that taking money out of the atm is the cheapest. Is it not so?
Hi! We do it mostly, because we don't want to carry around a lot of money. But the ATM isn't the cheapest. We have a video on this you might want to check out. It's called: Avoid this mistake getting money in Thailand 🏧 We go into different options and what it costs us specifically.
So meter taxi it is 😁
Yes! 😄👍
Ok going to your hotel avoid limousine service go down 1 level get metered taxi
That's it! 😊👍🏻
Thanks - very helpful 😊
That's really nice to hear! Thanks for letting us know 😊🙏
go to India/China 1 million subscribers gauranteed! Thailand is amazing aswell. just dont forget us peasants when u become famous!
Haha that would be something. Most important is we have fun and can help our viewers have the best travels :) India or China would be awesome. Actually talking about China for next year. Who knows! ☺
Never. Repeat never buy your SIM at an airport of any description.
❤️
@@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee I'm speaking from experience in Dec 2022. I purchased a SIM from the airport booth, as I needed to call my mother to let her know I'd arrived safely. So I asked the lady in the booth if I could make international calls with this sim? Yes she deceitfully replied, so I bought an alleged months worth of data and calls etc, only to depart on the bus and find that it wouldn't make international calls and the data lasted only 10 days and they charged me 11-1200 baht. My friend bought a SIM in Pattaya for 350 baht with proper data and international calls, which is what I'd always done since 2007. I think they cost 50 baht back then with some uploaded call credit before the days of data and smartphones.
Did the SIM card cost 1200baht for 30 days or 3 please and is that for unlimited Wi-Fi connection coming on Monday for the 1st time am nervous wheelchair user also can you use hotspot with that for other devices please
Hi! It's 1200, for 30 days, unlimited 5g data. Hotspot was not possible. Have fun!
How I get canada
Come again? :)

At the immigration, were you asking to pay 2000thb cash for a one time visa on arrival? What happens if you don’t have Thailand money?
Hi! For us it was free. Some countries do have to pay 2000thb for the visa on arrival. You can find the details on thaiembassy.com. It is cash only and has to be paid in Baht. Not sure if there are currency exchanges or ATM's before immigration. To be safe, it could be wise to exchange it back home.
สวัสดีค่ะ ยินดีต้อนรับสู่ไทยแลนด์ค่ะ เที่ยวไทยให้สนุกนะคะ และปลอดภัย 👍😍🌹🎉🎊
Thank you very much! Khop khun khrap 😊🙏
Are there Car seats for Children in the taxis?
Not in any of the meter taxi's we took unfortunately
@@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee
How about rental cars? Or did you bring your own?
We did manage to get it in rental cars 👍🏻 if you go through the big rental car websites you can choose it as an option.
Welcome to Thailand , 12-15 April Songkarn festival hope u join us and enjoy it . Have all good trips .
Thanks a lot! 😊🙏
Would you recommend me eexchanging all my ccash from super ricch at the airport or are there better prices elsewhere outside the airport or phuket??
Hi! Hard to say really. We heard there are places that may even have slightly better rates, but have no experience with them. You might also want to look into Wise card. Didn't cover that in this video, but it's supposed to have no transaction costs and good exchange rates.
Hey, leuke video. Ik was benieuwd wat je allemaal doet bij immigratie. Wat moet je allemaal bij je hebben en wat moet je invullen? Dat is dan gewoon voor 30 dagen en kom uiteraard uit NL.
Thanks! Leuk om te horen 🙏Je hebt alleen je paspoort nodig en een immigratieformulier. Meestal krijg je die in het vliegtuig. En anders hebben ze dat daar, voordat je de rij ingaat bij immigratie. Daarin geen moeilijke vragen. Wel vragen ze naar je eerste accommodatie. Veel plezier!
@@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee Super bedankt voor het reageren, hoe zit het dan met visum. Die hebben wij niet nodig als Nederlanders in Thailand. Maar voor andere landen wel, best moeilijk om precies te vindenen wat je daarvoor allemaal moet laten zien. Heb jij daar toevallig ervaring mee?
Graag gedaan! Ik zou toch aanraden om het via de officiële kanalen / websites van die landen op te zoeken. Het verandert ook nog weleens namelijk. Wat je ook kunt doen is Nederlandse reisgroepen op Facebook checken voor die specifieke landen. Succes!
Hey, interesting vlog
Thanks a lot Marky! 🙏
had to stop watching because music was too loud.
Thanks for the feedback! That's unfortunate. Was it the background music during the talking? Or louder music in between segments? We can take that with us for future video's.
Thanks! Good to hear 🙏

Thanks, sawadee khap 😊🙏
Really poor misinformation. You are not getting a visa on arrival, you are getting a visa exemption. Chinese and indians get and pay for a VOA. Most other foriegners get a free visa exemption.
What a load of rubbish! You get a stamp! That is your visa! You have a free 30 day visa!
You're right, there is the visa exemption program, correct. Most important is to tell everyone what they can expect after landing: we get a stamp, it's free, it's for 30 days. And this is because we're Dutch. In other words: if you're from another country, this could be different for you. We want to be understandable for everyone and this is what most people call it. We think it gives a pretty clear idea.
Whilst Super Rich may give better exchange rates in the street, all the exchange behind the rail link give the same rate so no need to queue, but some do not give different rate for higher value notes so no queueing. In Bangkok, Super Rich office give the best rate of the day but have large queues and often the difference is only a dollar or two on say 1000 dollar, so is the travel to Super Rich worth the hassle. I travel to Bangkok a lot, so I know this, but I still look at Super Rich and then check the others.
Thanks for the extra info! In the airport the difference between Superrich and the other exchange agencies was quite big when we checked, almost 10%.
@@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee You must be dreaming, I live near the airport and exchange regularly, it's views like your that cause the queues that form
@grahamjohnson4702 I literally checked the video for it to be sure. Not saying there's no that come near Superrich. But the ones we saw did not.
Welcome to Songkran festival coming soon 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you very much! 😊🙏
Welcome to Thailand,I hope you all will have a wonderful time there.Superrich money exchange is better rate than the bank.
Thank you very much! 🙏
Wise is the best rate, well that is what we find and I always add credit when the exchange rate is higher
@gregb1599 Good tip thanks!
I see this mentioned a lot but nobody seems to know what rate Superrich gives in comparison to say KBank.
@nickvegas2459 That would be interesting. We do have a video on exchanging money vs getting money at the ATM (with and without conversion) but not Kbank specific.
