Creator's Key Takeaways

I find Thailand to be really safe. Although, there are things that you should be aware of such as petty theft scams and little crimes that happen in tourist areas.

I recommend arriving in Bangkok, doing two days here, hanging out around Sukumvit, and then going over to Kanan Road in Chinatown, checking out some of the temples in the daytime.

If you're someone who wants to save money, arrive during rainy season. Rainy season is mostly from, I would say, June until September.

Thai food is so diverse and delicious. Trying all the spices and flavors and sauces. I love it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Fill out the Thailand digital arrival card online before arrival to avoid slow immigration processing.
✓Arrive with at least 2,000 Thai baht in cash for initial expenses and petty cash.
✓Download both Grab and Bolt transportation apps before arriving in Bangkok.
✓Consider visiting during rainy season (June to September) to save money and avoid crowds.
✓Be cautious with monkeys and stray dogs to avoid bites or scratches that may require medical attention.
