Welcome to Thailand and you will be the first YT to know that the airport name actually pronounced "Su_Wan_Na_Phum"😊 It's sansakrit language influenced. Have a good trip. Bye.

Whilst Super Rich may give better exchange rates in the street, all the exchange behind the rail link give the same rate so no need to queue, but some do not give different rate for higher value notes so no queueing. In Bangkok, Super Rich office give the best rate of the day but have large queues and often the difference is only a dollar or two on say 1000 dollar, so is the travel to Super Rich worth the hassle. I travel to Bangkok a lot, so I know this, but I still look at Super Rich and then check the others.

@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee 28 күн бұрын

Thanks for the extra info! In the airport the difference between Superrich and the other exchange agencies was quite big when we checked, almost 10%.

@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee Ай бұрын

Hi! Hard to say really. We heard there are places that may even have slightly better rates, but have no experience with them. You might also want to look into Wise card. Didn't cover that in this video, but it's supposed to have no transaction costs and good exchange rates.

That 1200 baht for sim is way too expensive , in town its 300 to 400 baht for one month unlimited data ...

@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee 2 ай бұрын

I really wonder if this is for this package from True. This is 5g, unlimited data, 30 days. We also see this price on their website. We do know of cheaper ones from other providers or with different speed or limited data for sure.

@BrianFairlamb 2 ай бұрын

@@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee Not sure but i was there last year and the same deal for 400 baht in town, and in airport it was 800 baht so do think they are over charging in airport it has increased by 400 baht

That's a big difference indeed! With the one we got the price was printed on the package.

@Ari-go4ib 2 ай бұрын

I always choose the Ais package, and i haven"t gotten better price from 7/11 stores, and i think the price is ok anyway. When it comes in taxis, they often try to charge more adding different extras, but i have solved the problem by ordering a taxi in advance from a reliable company, although i travel a longer distance where the price difference can be bigger.

At the immigration, were you asking to pay 2000thb cash for a one time visa on arrival? What happens if you don’t have Thailand money?

@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee 3 ай бұрын

Hi! For us it was free. Some countries do have to pay 2000thb for the visa on arrival. You can find the details on thaiembassy.com. It is cash only and has to be paid in Baht. Not sure if there are currency exchanges or ATM's before immigration. To be safe, it could be wise to exchange it back home.

@@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee I'm speaking from experience in Dec 2022. I purchased a SIM from the airport booth, as I needed to call my mother to let her know I'd arrived safely. So I asked the lady in the booth if I could make international calls with this sim? Yes she deceitfully replied, so I bought an alleged months worth of data and calls etc, only to depart on the bus and find that it wouldn't make international calls and the data lasted only 10 days and they charged me 11-1200 baht. My friend bought a SIM in Pattaya for 350 baht with proper data and international calls, which is what I'd always done since 2007. I think they cost 50 baht back then with some uploaded call credit before the days of data and smartphones.

Really poor misinformation. You are not getting a visa on arrival, you are getting a visa exemption. Chinese and indians get and pay for a VOA. Most other foriegners get a free visa exemption.

@gregb1599 3 ай бұрын

What a load of rubbish! You get a stamp! That is your visa! You have a free 30 day visa!

@alittlesunshinewithjayandbee 3 ай бұрын

You're right, there is the visa exemption program, correct. Most important is to tell everyone what they can expect after landing: we get a stamp, it's free, it's for 30 days. And this is because we're Dutch. In other words: if you're from another country, this could be different for you. We want to be understandable for everyone and this is what most people call it. We think it gives a pretty clear idea.
