Guys if you’re planning a trip to Thailand and are about to book a domestic flight, beware of Nok Air evening flights being delayed!!!! All of my friends who have booked flights with them have experienced hours delays so if you’re looking to book a cheap flights in the evening provide by Nok air, just prepare to spend a few hours in the airport and talk to your hotel to ensure you can check in late. No joke!
Excellent video guys! I'm a fellow South African and I've spent 15 months living in Thailand over the past 2 years. You guys shared great informative advice, well done! This will prove to help many people planning on traveling to Thailand Kaaaaa
What a great guide. I have been interested in Thailand since a friend went there as an exchange student in 1987. Still haven’t made it but this video has provided the inspiration to get going. Great stuff!
Congratulations to you guys to heads Bangkok, Thailand to shows these amazing places & Landmarks this gone weekend in February of 2024❤❤❤I really LOVE your remarkable video in great joy & peace @ home 2024❤❤❤
This video is inansanely informative!! Thank you guys SO MUCH. You're adressing things I didn't even think about! I'm planning a trip to Thailand with my mother and sister, let's hope I plan well!!
Hi Rhett and Claire! Your videos travelling around Thailand are one of my favourites! Very informative and entertaining to watch. I am planning to travel to Thailand for the first time this September, with my boyfriend. We took lots of inspiration from your videos, and are going to many places you have listed in your videos, such as, Elephant Hills and Chai Lai Orchid. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! Hope to see more videos soon! c:
Awesome video! Thanks vir al die info. Ek en my vrou love julle videos en is besig om n 6 maande trip te reël en hierdie help ongelooflik baie! Alle voorspoed met al julle travels.
Hi Rhett and Claire You two have done amazing with your insights shared on travels for many, thank you both so much. Your videos have helped a lot with insights into Thailand, a trip coming up soon. You mentioned motorbike license, if we have a regular car drivers license with international license from ZAF, does that suffice or does it have to be a specific motorbike license to ride a scooter? The green tub, guess something similar to Vicks vapor rub, what is the one presented in the video from Thailand called please ? Keep on setting the world ablaze with your awesome energies, and thanks for sharing with the rest of the world!
Super Guide Guys. Bucket list for Harriet who hasn't been. I have been to Bangkok, Chiang Mai , Phuket and Pattaya City when I was younger. Great Memories. You are always the go to guys for what to expect. And Yes ! Claire, we love our 7-Eleven's in Southeast Asia. No good in the U.S. Hope you guys are doing ok. Sending you Hugs🫂 and Kisses💋 from Harriet, Jim and Yuki Richmond, Va.❤❤❤
Hey guys. Great video! Thank you. I'm a SAFFA going to teach English in Thailand... Are you guys sure that us SAFFAs don't need a return ticket back home? It would help to know ❤
Thank you for the amazing details. I still have some questions: 1. Is the airlines between cities easy to book on the day of travel or better book far ahead. Is the price usually the same or higher as it gets closer? 2. You mentioned rainy season & flood. Unfortunately, we plan our trip for September. I am nervous. Is it really bad and disasters trip😬😬 3. Is it better roaming around with or without booked travel agents for a day trip? Should I arrange everything in one package or just day trip like via Viator? 4. How is 3 days in Bangkok, 3 in Chiang Mai, 2 in Phuket (James Bond island or Koh PhiPhi?), 7 in Koh Samui to chill sounds? Please inform. Thank you, The trip was quoted for all that without hotels for $ 2700. (Only air, transfer & tour) per person. I think it's too much 😮
Hi guys! Thank you so much for this video! So many useful tips 😎 My husband and I are planning to go next November for our 20th honeymoon 👰🏻♀️🤪 for about a month. I’m thinking about surprise him with a private sailing trip around the islands (10-12 days), but I wonder if we will miss much by not exploring the islands itself?
Good morning, the video is very good, I would like to ask a question, I'm going to Thailand in July and I only have a one-way flight and I would like to visit the land in my time maybe go here of there, but I have seen everywhere that when I arrive at immigration they will maybe ask me for the flight out of Thailand, you are the first ones to say that is not necessary, where did you find this information? thank you.
Yes. We advise first timers to go to Phuket only because of Koh Phi Phi and Maya Bay being on its doorstep. They’re the must visit locations. But we don’t recommend Phuket to anyone that is sensitive to animal welfare.
@@RhettandClaireGotcha. It looks like there are also ferries to those places from Koh Lanta and Krabi so we might skip Phuket altogether and go to one of those places instead. In addition to animal abuse concerns, the Patong nightlife isn't our style either.
@@kevlarcardhouse252 yes, it's not tough to go from Krabi to Phi Phi and Maya Bay. It's about 40 minutes by speedboat. Did it recently and honestly Maya Bay was good.... Phi phi too overcrowded and kind of pointless (as a day tour at least). May be better if one is staying there for few nights. As a first timer didn't go to Phuket, and didn't regret it. Got to explore some less popular places and loved it. All the best for your trip!
I have araknophobia so ....what should i know about the night markets? I know they have those to eat but are there any live ones? And what about everywhere else? Like beaches etc. I'm traveling there next january and this got me nerveous. 😬😬
There are no live ones, you’ll be fine! Just keep walking when you see them at night markets. There are none at the beaches or anywhere other than the night markets🙏🏻
Im going to Thailand from Australia. Here I use Apple Watch to pay. The watch has a sim. Can I do that in Thailand and does the watch need a local sim?
Fly to Samui is expensive because Bangkok airways is the owner of that airport so they don't allow other airlines to land on this airport so they can increase the fare for their own.

Hey im a 20 year old dude and i plan a trip to thailand next year in may . Im a bit scared bc itz my first time traveling alone . I want to go to thailand for like 2-5 months but im scared . What shoud i do . The reson why i want to travel is bc for the last 4 years i hade a job that got me mentaly so tierd and sad over live that i considered ending it . Thats why i want to go but im so scared bc itz my first time u have tips ?
@@RhettandClaire Oh my stars! How ever did you cope? I mean, if you had to quarantine and stay where you WERE, wherever did you bed down for the nights? Thank you for answering an unsavoury question about an unsavoury topic, however since you two are world travelers I thought it did bear mentioning only because I reckon it is hard NOT to have those critters once or twice in one's life, especially if you stay at all manner of accommodations. Did any reviews mention the presence of the bugs, or did you just see them (people think they are microscopic but they are quite visible!) after you had checked in? The best cities (Las Vegas Nevada, and Paris France have them, so you can see them anywhere, really). They are not just for hostels and more down market places.
I just came from thailand 11/8/24 travelled with daughter husband and 2 year old daughter first of all we are not overly fussy we are well travelled but excited to have a memorable time firstly the weather was difficult humid and very hot food was of very low standard it's not cheap you can't barter like you think it's got nothing going for it I wouldn't go their again if you paid me, we all got very sick my son in law and daughter never get sick but he was in bed for 3 days then decided to go to the hospital he had welts all over his legs my daughter said she's never felt anything like I was ok until we were ready to come home I travelled sick like I thought I could have died I had to g a week chair I couldn't walk I am now at home I have been to doctor and am in bed and I still can't move I'm sorry to put a damper on thailand but I have to worn you and its very expensive
I've travelled all over the world and Thailand is number one place in the world. Almost nobody speaks English (only a little in Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket) in Thailand and don't waste your time on learning Thai, because it wil take a few years. It's only helpful when you're young and going to move to Thailand.

Avoid Pattaya AND Phuket? Man don't let the TAT see that. You know how much the economy would suffer if those places didn't get the kind of tourism that they do?

You put Phuket as a place to recommend to skip but it's a part of your 2 week itinerary video?

Ever encountered bedbugs anywhere?
Only once on our travels, on a small island in Indonesia called Belitung. We were forced to quarantine in a hotel and it had bedbugs
