    I think with fewer tourists it's even more worth it being here. I do feel for the people who relied on the tourists, but Bangkok has still so much to offer to whoever comes here, as long as they want to do more than getting drunk. I'm staying an extra month as I've not even scraped the surface of what the city has to offer (temples, museums, markets, the Old City, local neighbourhoods). The problem is that I might fall in love with Bangkok even more and not want to leave 😅

    Totally agreed with everyone you interviewed. Have just come back from three weeks in Bangkok ad Hua Hin. Totally worth all the trouble. As Ester and her partner said its seems complicated when you are applying from another country but once you land its all super simple. One concern with the upcoming reintroduction of Test and Go is the additional hotel night in day 5?? lets see how that plays out.....

    Got the Test and Go, received the answer about three hours after the cutoff - they answered twice, one was declined and one was approved, so I just used the approved one (guess they're not keeping track of how many times you submit)... did all the paperwork, the thing that "annoyed" me, was the fact that they didn't even check my vaccination nor my PCR-test... And now I live and work here. All good.

    I have lived in Thailand for eleven years, and you definitely go through a honeymoon period in which you are madly in love with Thailand, then, what was outside and fundamentally different from your daily life becomes your normal every day life. If I went back to the U.S., it would be cultural shock.

    If someone has the opportunity to travel to Bangkok or Thailand in general I’d say go for it. You will have the chance to enjoy Bangkok without the usual crowd. The only hard part of travelling these days ironically is when you are preparing in your home country (pcr, bookings, etc) and not the actual travel itself. Once you get all the preparations done I’d say you have completed 99% of the hassle. It may sound impossible but do whatever it takes not to catch covid until you reach Thailand. There’s no greater feeling than to step out of your SHA+ hotel on your 2nd day in Thailand with your negative pcr result. The only disappointing part of my trip is when it was time to go to the airport and go home.

  • @brian472

    Every body talks about the paperwork coming to Thailand . I found the paperwork easy and not difficult.
    Try applying for a visa for a Thai person to go to UK on a 3 month stay. Just the application is 11 pages with a lot of stupid unnecessary questions and Much more expensive than Thai pass application.
    My opinion no one should say getting to Thailand now is difficult. Even the restart of the test and go is well explained and well organized.
    When I arrived here in December.
    The organization at airport to hotel with PCR test was well organized and with precision carried through.
    I can only praise the Thai organization for tourists comeback.

    Oh...how tourism has changed...I recall maybe 15 years ago...I was on a cycling trip around Asia and was sitting near an exquisite ancient temple in Cambodia. The stillness and wonder was interrupted by 4 charming backpackers who turned up took goodness knows how many photographs of the temple in perhaps 3 minutes flat then all turned their back on the monument and spent then next ten minutes comparing photographs of the thing that sat behind them. Ohh...thats great send it to me etc etc.....Imagine this boat trip...how many hours of footage and photographs were taken one wonders...and how better spent that time would have been simply absorbing the experience rather than needing to take it with them...or shw others that they were there....I have not a single photograph of the year long cycle trip I was on...Is my life less rich because of it....absolutely not...for those images and feelings...I hold in my heart...not on a little screen.

    It's a great time to enjoy many aspects of Thailand if you can get out there. That really depends on individual circumstances. For a short term holiday maker who hasn't recently recovered from COVID the risks of being quarentined are probably too great right now. But if you can hold on a month or two, indications are that it will get better.

    Good advice from Forest… As an oldie ( not young like the ones interviewed) go through the hoops ( paper work) with a positive attitude that things will work out. Traveling to a foreign country is not to be like the country you’re from, so learn about the culture and way of life. Don’t expect everything to be like home. Enjoy and stay as long as you can…

    I am in Bangkok now and have been here for the last 2 days and in that time i have not seen a single person without a mask but your video shows you and your friends without masks and saying how free Thailand is which is not true. As far as i am aware there is a 2000 bhat fine for not wearing a mask

      Came here for this comment.
      I was likewise shocked by this 100% maskless bunch in close quarters while in the midst of a 4th wave of infections, with Bangkok at the top of the list. 100% of the Thais around me mask up in consideration of others.
      The lack of masks and the libertarian speech near the end makes your group of vloggers look and sound like an entitled bunch of inconsiderate foreigners.
      We don’t really want to attract that type of tourist here. Please mask up and tone it down, at least out of consideration for your hosts-and Thai law which still requires masks in public. At least be respectful when you travel abroad.

    I just left after 3 months. I felt like Thailand is always worth it, the only thing I felt a little off about was when they implemented the showing a negative pcr test just to grab lunch. Overall it is still my favorite place to be and live in Asia.

    Sadly..I really do think tourism to Thailand is particularly privileged right now... I hope all the visitors are providing the much needed support for the local street vendors and small businesses... Can't wait for the opportunity to return as normal there...

    Hi fellow youtuber! Im glad I found you! This video is very valuable -- i love that you asked people in the city about their personal experiences it really helps! me and my partner are trying to go to thailand in March or April. We just found out that international travel are now opening tomorrow with the option to do TEST & GO! I do not wish to demand anything on you, but it will be amazing if you can do a video about this whenever you guys (living there) find out more details about this. I think the traveling mission to Thailand will still be strenuous but not as much as previously?
    "the juice is worth the squeeze" - I LOVEED THIS! IM SO PUMPED LOL!

    As a Victorian Gothic, I was confused. Why every time I go to the beach most people always look at me with a strange look? I always wear long black dresses even to the beach, is that wrong? I don't like just wearing a bikini or a swimsuit. Some people ask me "Why are you wearing a long black dress to the beach?" This question is ridiculous to me.
    Honestly, I like Thai beaches because they are nice and the food there is a lot of good. Overall I like Thailand, but please don't tell me to wear a bikini or swimsuit when I'm at the beach.
    Thailand 9.0/10 for me.

    Heck yeah Thailand is worth it. The food is still delicious, less traffic right now, and the beaches are beautiful. Ignore the bar scheme, they're catered to taking your money and wasting your time. Go to Phuket, Chang Mai, udon, ubon etc. So much good people to meet, so much thing to do not enough time to do it all.

    This is where Paddy let's himself down. Alot of his videos come across as infomercials for the destination he is visiting, a bit of 'don't you wish you were here' type vibe. Most of it manipulated. There is no need to do this. The most succesful youtubers just film, find content, without the need to do that 'DONT YOU WISH YOU WERE HERE' type vibe to each video. There's alot of nonsense in this video about talking about how 'easy it is' to get into Thailand.

    The Chao Phraya river cruise is worth it. The boat through the canals stinks a bit, but the ones in Saen Saap Canal is hellish tbh. Let's just say if the water got on your face, you get pimples. If it gets in your mouth, possibly stomache ache for a bit. Accidentally fell into it, get treated quick you don't want to risk fungal infections in the brain yeah.

    It is totally worth completing all the paperwork to enter Thailand as I just over there for one month (13 Dec - 10 Jan). I came over to see my fiancé which I have not seen in two year and I had a blast traveling throughout Thailand ( Issan (Khon Kaen and Buriram), Prachuap, Ayuttaya, Chonburi and Bangkok). I used the Test n' Go scheme and organising my trip was very simple, had the Thailand Pass within 5 hour once I submitted the necessary paperwork.
    If I did not have to return back home to go back to work, I would still be there enjoying the Thai life.

    Hi Paddy, i really like your videos. They are very entertaining, funny and beautiful (because of the landscapes) :P.
    Me and my girlfriend want to try out some kind of part-time digital nomad life-style this winter, as i am a software developer with at a flexible company and she is self employed. We are thinking about staying 2 months in Thailand starting at November/December 2022 to flee the german winters (everything is just grey for months).
    It should be in blocks of 1-2-3 weeks in different places around thailand. There should be nice weather, beaches and some bars and a mixture of locals and expats. We would spend around 200€-500€ per month for accomodation so that we can live and work there with our laptops in a convenient way. I have already been to the main tourists spots like Ko Chang, Koh Samui islands, Khao Lak, Koh Lanta but i dont mind to visit them again as i only spent several days at each spot until now.
    As you have seen all the places in the south already, which places would you (or people in the comments) recommend for beginners of a digital nomad life in thailand? Any recommendations?
    Thank you and keep up the good work.
