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.
