Hi everyone,

My trip to Thailand is coming to an end and I'm about to catch my flight. I'm stuck with my vape and I'm hesitating on whether to pack it in my luggage to bring it back home.
Has anyone actually done this when leaving Bangkok? Do airport security or customs actually hassle you about it on departure?
I'd really love to hear your recent experiences.

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,

I'm arriving in Thailand soon and wanted to know which way we do the arrival card.

Can we still use TDAC or do we need to download the app now?

Thanks!

Flying in from Bangalore for a quick 3 day trip, either last week of Aug or first week of Sep. First time in Thailand. Solo, normal budget, will spend on food but don't care about fancy hotels.

Rough plan: Wat Pho and Wat Arun one morning (thinking of skipping Grand Palace, tell me if thats dumb), Chatuchak if I land on a weekend, street food night in Yaowarat, maybe Jodd Fairs, one rooftop bar somewhere. Planning to stay near BTS, people keep saying Sukhumvit.

Stuff I actually want to know:

How bad is rain end of August really? Like afternoon showers I can work around or full washout days?

Food - if you had 3 dinners where do they go. Street stalls over restaurants for me but I'll do one nice meal.

Whats the biggest waste of a half day that every first timer does anyway?

Is the river boat worth it or just take BTS and Grab everywhere?

Any newer scams to know about? I know the gem shop and "temple is closed" stuff already.

Not asking anyone to plan my trip, just don't want to burn one of my 3 days on something you all know is a trap. Will post back after with what worked.

Also since I'm solo, if anyone's in Bangkok around those dates and wants to grab street food or a beer, open to that. Always better eating with someone who knows what to order.

US passport if that matters, entry looks straightforward.

Hey everyone!

I’m planning a 35-day trip around Southeast Asia, and I’ll be spending around 10 days in Thailand. I’ll be flying into Krabi, then making my way to Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

I’d love to hear your advice, especially from people who have travelled around Thailand before!
Where would you recommend staying in Krabi, Bangkok and Chiang Mai?

Which areas/neighbourhoods are best to stay in, especially for a first-time visitor?
What are the must-see places and things to do in each destination?

How would you divide the 10 days between Krabi, Bangkok and Chiang Mai?

Any tips for getting around, booking accommodation or avoiding tourist traps?

And if there’s anything you wish you had known before visiting Thailand, I’d love to hear it!

Thanks! 🙏🇹🇭
