Travel tips for Thailand

  • 1

    Always carry small bills for street vendors and tuk-tuk drivers, as many places won’t have change for large notes.

  • 2

    Use Grab (ride-hailing app) instead of taxis to avoid scams and get fair prices in cities like Bangkok.

  • 3

    Learn basic Thai phrases like ‘sawasdee’ (hello) and ‘khop khun’ (thank you) to connect with locals and show respect.
