Things NOT TO bring and TO bring to THAILAND ( WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU TRAVEL THAILAND ) 🇹🇭

A list of things to consider not packing also things you should bring when traveling to Thailand. People often ask us this question, “What should I bring on my trip to Thailand?” so we put together this essential video on Things NOT TO bring and TO bring to THAILAND.
NOTE : Most hotel will provide you with basic toiletries which the maids will replaces it every day if used but we always pack our own travel pack once finish we just pop in the pharmacy or 7-11 or family mart convenience stores. You will find these shops every corner on the street. Except if you have specific brands just being it from home.

    What about vaccins?. tbc and rabies. These 2 were recomended to me by my doctor. especially for rabies, my doctor said transportation of live vaccins are difficult, if not cooled right they spoil. Which may result in an unreliable treatment, now with the vaccination a simpel antibiotic will suffice...

    Do you know what I like the most about watching you guys, is that your videos are still simple and nice. Not over edited, not too much trying to be funny or over "energetic" and this authentic vibe of just two people doing what they love not just for the gram is so rare lately with travel videos :)

    hey, great little video! I've lived in Bangkok for 2 months and eating 99% street food. This was 2 weeks after my appendix operation (and I was recommended not to go to Thailand actually by my surgeon). I was sick exactly once : After eating at a 'high end' Italian restaurant. So if you're often sick after eating street food, two things can have happened. 1) You're eating at the wrong spots, or eating the wrong food. If it isn't baked, fried, cooked, grilled or steamed right in front of you, DON'T EAT IT. For fruits I stick to fruits that I get out of shells/hulled/are prepared in front of you if possible (But I'm less strict about this, especially not in the malls where there's airconditioning). 2) Eat only from streetstalls where you see local, Thai people eat. And preferably with a queue. Places that have mostly tourists, or nobody : Avoid. 3) If you still suffer from stomach trouble regularly (more than 1x per month or so) then I'd say that your immune system isn't great, and particularly your stomach flora is in a very poor condition. I took high-strength probiotics the month before heading to Thailand, and took it daily while there. Also I brought oregano-oil capsules for those foods that were not according to my schedule, or I couldn't check the freshness as reliably. Hope these tips help for your next time to Thailand / Bangkok !

Thanks Jimmy and Nong Tah for this great video!!!I was in Phuket recently. Maybe someone is looking for a cheap car now and cannot fly from Phuket, because of COVID-19. I want to recommend and thank the guys from ORANGE CAR PHUKET service. I did not want to take a taxi because of the high cost. On March 15, 2020, I rented two passenger vans Toyota Sienta for 500 baht a day, and it was a great idea. Excellent customer service. The guys were very friendly and helpful and I booked the car easily and quickly. I highly recommend their service and I will definitely contact them again!

Good info about ibuprofen...I just bought the huge bottle to bring cause I was afraid I couldn't get it there... guess it was a good decision. Thanks again👍

    Regarding jackets: Other reasons for needing a jacket - like a hoodie or shacket (unlined jacket that’s halfway between jacket and shirt) are if you’re going on the train or a bus or car with other people who control the AC. A shawl (pashmina type) might also help. Some shops are really cold also.

    You can only bring 30 days of a prescription, but it is easy to get refills if you plan to stay longer. Cheap clothes often bleed in the wash and ruin all the other clothes. The whitening thing is BS. Thais buy into it thinking it will work, but it really doesn't. Also, usually there are comparable products offered without the whitening ingredients and they are cheaper. I agree about the sun screen. You are totally wrong about Ibuprofen it is available in any pharmacy in varying strengths and very cheap. No prescription required. Thais usually call it profen. I'm not surprised she hasn't heard of it. Most Thais think Tylenol is the cure for everything and it is available in 7-11. Everyone wears jeans, but if you are not acclimated to the hot weather shorts are preferred. However, if visiting the temples, you may be required to wear long pants. Do not bring E cigs. In BKK and other popular tourist areas the cops are on the look out and it will cost you a ton of money if caught. In BKK they are even paying the taxi drivers a substantial finders fee to turn people in.

    Iboprofen is easy to find. Have bought it OTC at Watsons and Boots. Tylenol (acetomenofen, paracetamol) is little more than a placebo. It has no anti-inflamatory properties. Best anti-motion medication is meclizine. Haven't seen it here in Bangkok but can get it at Walmart in US for $1.47 for pack of 8 pills. The diphenhydramine sold here works but will put most people to sleep.

    Don't EVER bring jeans, the weather doesn't give the same experience. You would be better off with pants that are giving a little more space like military pants. You can get those in solid colors as well and as bonus you have extra pockets and it is surprisingly enough very fashionable. You could even get variants that have zippers to turn your pants into shorts. This will even give you less to drag around but does allow you the option of having pants with you. If you going for Songkran, buy your water pistol at a local market where they are very cheap. Also you save up space in your suitcase/backpack and as bonus you don't have to get that thing trough security at the airport. Everything you may want for this festival, get it in Thailand and leave it behind before you leave. Give it to some kids for example, they will love to play with it and you don't have to lug it back trough airport security and back home. If you have any form of respiratory problems, visit a seven 11 and buy a pack of masks. It will help you a lot (I speak out of experience). They are not too expansive and you are free to take them back home as well. They are very light, so your over all weight isn't really increased by much. Make sure you buy flip-flops before you leave, often you can find better gear at home then in Thailand. You also have bigger sizes and having these things is a real must have in Thailand. Make sure you buy the right ones as you will probably wear them more then your normal shoes. Also much better for your feat as it allows your feat to breathe a lot better then your shoes ever will do. If you want something for cheap, you may want to visit one of many markets first. Specially the night markets offer great opportunities to buy nice things for cheap prices! If you buy a lot, I strongly suggest to pack it up and send it home. Don't lug it around, it just slows you down and makes your vacation a lot harder. Also for food you may want to visit night markets in special, often you will enjoy it a lot better then during the day. People are more friendly as they don't have to work and locals also like to enjoy them self's just like you would. If you are tall and white, yes you are out of luck with clothes in Thailand. But if you visit the least visited locations by tourists you can end up being thanked for your visit and in some cases even get asked to be in a photo with a local. You could say it's close to being famous in a way, really awkward and rewarding situation. Don't think you can buy cheap computers or parts for them, most shops offer for about the same prices as in your own country. You have however some locations where you may be able to find some cheap used gear though. They are rare to find but if you really want this it may be worth to figure out where to go to. I do recommend again to pack it up and send it home by mail. Same counts for phones, best not to bother unless you try to get covers or additional toys.

A torrential blast greeted my very first step into the heart of Bkk from the airport train, and other times the rain was *so* it intense, it actually came through the window frame in the relatively new apartment I was staying in, partially flooding the bedroom! So, keep an eye on their crazily intense ‘rain’...
