    When you arrive in the airport in Bangkok go through immigration and bag collection, you need to take the lift ( these can be busy) or the escalators ( better and faster) down to the ground floor, it’s where the airport train station is, when you get in that floor walk towards the trains ticket machines and in front of you you will see half a dozen or so exchange booths these have absolutely the best exchange rate in the airport and probably outside, you will need to show your passport and the better exchange rate is given if you have £50 notes but make sure there’s no tears or writing on them as they probably won’t take defaced ones, when you have changed up your money just take the lifts or escalations back up to level 1 ( I assume you are going to pattaya) where you can get transportation or a bus) if you have an inward flight you need to go to level four departures. It only takes a few minutes to get to the exchange booths downstairs and you will get a lot more for your money

    Watcher Darren it does my old heart good to watch your almost boyish enthusiasm at the prospect of your dream holiday. Please don't annoy the cabin crew or even worse the pilot with: " are we there yet? " every 10 minutes of the 14 hour flight. Relax, sleep if you can. Count down to touch down. Then oft we go. Looking forward to seeing the beautiful countryside and the modern cities and moving through the historic sites and hopefully become part of the culture. Safe journey and enjoy the the experience Allan&Family

    You will luv it. I've just got back last Friday. Sainsburys always have baht. In Bkk buy a day ticket for the BTS, 150bt. IMO the best shopping malls are IconSiam & CentralWorld. A daily foot massage is a must as you end doing so much walking. When in Pattaya try Cozy Beach. Some nice cafes/restaurants overlooking it. Don't miss Walking St & Soi 6. You won't want to come back! Sounds like you've done all of the research though.

    You’ll have a great time Darren. I’ve been to Thailand on three occasions now. I even took my dear Mother there on one of those occasions. The Southern Islands though, are an absolute MUST. Koh Lanta, is a favourite of ours. The ‘Beach’ at Phi Phi is amazing, but quite busy these days. Too many oiky Aussies in certain areas of Thailand. Good luck with Pattaya. Not my cup of tea. 👍🏼

    First mistake, don’t buy ANY Thai currency in the U.K., when you land in Bangkok the currency exchanges are open 24/7, just change up £100 to cover your initial expenses such as your taxi. Your British notes must be perfect, no tears, no writing.

    • @TommyIOMTT
