Creator's Key Takeaways

We have $300 to spend. So that's on average. We're going to try and spend $100 per day.

The ATMs here in Thailand are notorious for charging high fees. Not just the ones here in the airport, all over Thailand.

A ping-pong show is actually a type of adult stage performance that's been a part of Bangkok's nightlife scene for decades.

Our advice is to take your time here. Walk slowly, take photos, really look at the details, and don't rush it just to take it off your list.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Always do ATM withdrawals in the local currency to avoid conversion fees.
Get an eSIM before landing to avoid expensive roaming fees and stay connected.
Be aware of scams, such as people claiming the Grand Palace is closed to sell tours.
Cover up legs and shoulders when visiting temples.
Negotiate prices at markets, but check for set prices first.
