I returned off holiday 4 weeks ago, To anyone considering holiday, I have some tips. First the hotel. The Pullman where I stayed was a great hotel, but after going, personally I'd go nearer the centre. Pullnan was a bit out, however Bolt taxis so cheap and quick, wasn't a massive problem. Prior to going, I phoned my insurance company and they sent a certificate with everything on it, Money wise, I was shocked by how little I needed. I took £1000 just as a starter, but had my cards etc. However I still took £300 home. When you are there, change your large notes to small as many places, especially taxis, won't take large notes as not enough change. Don't make mistake as I did not wearing sun cream if you're not used to it, I burned one day. Regarding travel to & from, I went with Emirates and despite tne size of Dubai, so easy to get through, Finally, don't forget to go Buzzin Bar, especially if like me you want a pint,. Enjoy, 🙏

1. Get a copy of your Passport after arrival as it has the entry stamp. Most hotels will give you a copy for free, 2. Notify your bank and credit card company that you are traveling, 3. Make bills you have due are paid before you leave. 4. Have emergency contact numbers readily available in case you become incapacitated.

Buzzin , Honestly, you are an honest man. You concluded that being in Thailand is straightly business not for love. I Like it.

Discord Trev can be dangerous! I joined your group and got an alert. While looking at the alert there was a stunning image of a scantily clad sexy Thai girl. Then a voice from directly behind me (the Mrs) yelled "who is that?"....

Believe guys, I used to make Thailand my playground for many years and all the advices in this video are for real. My first time was disastrous because I travel on the dark, but after that was more easy. Be polite, you travel to Thailand for holidays and fun! Soon you get this in your mind, you will have amazing memories! Stay away from trouble, stay away from drugs and most important…prioritize your safety on sex! Our penis isn’t a lizard 🦎 tail, if you loose…no way in hell will grow a new one! 😎🙏😂

Good chat Trev, just one point I have to disagree with is the enhancements. In NZ by the time you see your Doctor and chemist each tablet costs you about $10 US, whereas I buy them on the street in Thailand for about $2 US. Never had a problem with recognized brands, but it's actually illegal to bring them back to NZ because they are a prescription-only medicine, so you run the risk of them being confiscated Kamagra is not sold in my country and it works well, so customs normally ignore it, but I tried that Black Ant while in Thailand, it worked, I was a stallion that night, but crook as a dog for 2 days.so I would not recommend it THE EFFORT WAS NOT WORTH THE RETURN

The best advice i could give through experience, once you'e been here for a couple of days, never trust a fart 😂

I've taken the bus from airport to Pattaya, dozens of times. Last stop jomtien. 130baht. I've never ever had a problem with the buses.i feel safer than being in a speeding taxi..

As a regular visitor to Pattaya,I always keep a few hundred quids worth of Thai bht for next time because unlike Spain never buy Thai curency in the UK.Avoid the airport exchange booths as well because any TT booth in town will give you a better rate .I disagree about taxis from BKK,because for 130 bht in 2020 I used to get a comfortable air conditioned ride to Pattaya where lots of local motor cycle taxis or bht buses will whisk you to your accomodation 24 hours no worries.I prefer not to waste £25 plus on an airport taxi.Also the Bell buse service will pick you up from BKK pr from your hotel for about £7.by arrangement.

A tip if you are disabled (I have Parkinson's) - tell your airline you need special assistance. I fly Thai and at Heathrow this translated into help checking in and a special lane at security. I could have had a ride to the gate but chose not to. At the gate I announced myself and was given priority boarding. On arrival in Bangkok it translated into "needs wheelchair" and I was given a white knuckle ride through the airport scattering people in my wake! A big plus though was going through a special lane at Immigration that meant I sailed through rather than queued for an hour or so. Going home was similar - there's a special lane at security/passport control which I was wheeled through and was again given priority boarding at the gate. Whilst in Pattaya I have a stick when walking around. The locals might not understand what Parkinson's is but as a whole were very considerate (even Baht Bus drivers!) and walking with a stick indicates that the reason you stagger is medical rather than alcoholic.

Great advice Trevor for the newbies, I had to figure it out alone 20 yrs ago. But use hotel safe for most your $$, only take out what u need for the night, put your I phone in safe also, ,leave their ID at the desk,always check your bill in bars, they like adding extra drinks/beers, count your change.

Great advice - 17 yrs visiting Thailand and I wouldn't argue on any point! made. Use the big head, not little head and enjoy, walk, don't run, but get there

Taxi from airport. Mr T Taxi excellent 1100b. Bus is absolutely fine for return. It's 90 minutes high view, great ride. From Jomtien. Very easy.

I enjoy the slow bus ride into pattaya from airport. Iv waited over 2 years to come back. Its 2 hours of excitement 😍

As far as your hotel goes, pickup one of their cards from reception, that way if you stray off of the planned path you can always get a bolt taxi to get you home. Even if the cards not in Thai the driver can always call the hotel for you to get directions. Simple tip, but could be a life saver.

I was in Thailand in 2021 and I always went to pattaya by bus for 120 baht from Ekkamai or the airport. And then took a 80 baht motorbike taxi to my hotel and there got to pattaya for 200 baht and now have 800 baht saved for anything.For sure travel lightly. A backpack and carry on for your clothes. I always bring clothes that dry fast that way I can wash them in the hotel and leave them to dry while I’m out for the day. Many ways to make your money last In Thailand

One thing that is rarely mentioned is that if you are coming to Pattaya you may go through a stage of severe depression when you return to your home country from your holiday. (This is not a joke.) Pattaya is a fantasy land beyond most men’s wildest dreams. (At least it was before the Scamdemic.) When you come back home (especially to the West) and become invisible to women again, it can really mess with your head.

I Know Trev harps a lot but after recently being a newb in Thailand and being a part of the Buzzin scene I have to tell you that he knows his shit and you would be well and good to take his advice. I highly recommend you joining the discord group and for sure basing your activities out of the Buzzin bar. The info that's shared there is priceless and will cut your learning curve in half and as Trev said there's a good chance you will meet some new friends to hangout with and enjoy what Pattaya has to offer. Its going to be a long, very long eleven months waiting to come back.

If you plan on enjoying a lot of different company being a butterfly my top tip would be start at the bars/locations furthest from your hotel. You dont want to nail a girl from across the road on your first night and then spend the rest of your visit walking past her with a new girl on your arm... dont always happen but you dont want a) to be heckled b) the girl to lose face.

Making plans:The only plan you need to make is to drift around Pattaya like a rudderless boat. Works for me!

Valuable and sage advice as always Sir! One thing I do is bring some extra strength cold and flu tablets, particularly ones that fight congestion. Not sure of its the air quality or repeatedly going from hot outside to air conditioned inside, but I find I need to take congestion meds the first few days to avoid getting the crud. Also, make sure you have a budget and stick to it by only taking what you are planning on spending that day with you. Leave the ATM and credit cards in the safe. This goes along with keeping it real. Booze and babes have emptied many a man's wallet, and its no fun waking up on day three of a two week vacay and realizing you are broke. Other than that, don't lose your temper, don't get too drunk, and have a great time.

All good comments. Taxi ... I like to use Nams taxi. They have mostly lady drivers. They do not drive as aggressive as the Male drivers I have had. Hotel... I like to make sure hotel has a safe in the room. Lockup that passport and extra cash. Only take the cash you need for that night. Don't forget to ask about joiner fees. Some hotels will charge extra to bring a guest back to your room. Always book for 2 people. Get a balcony room if you smoke. Some are strict on smoking in the rooms. The hotel will ask your guest for ID. Seems like a hassle but it is for your protection If you plan to be out enjoying the nightlife, chances are you will sleep through breakfast. I never book to get the breakfast buffet with the room. True don't plan too much. If traveling with friends tell them we will probably split up and do different things. Sometimes you just go with the flow and want time to spend alone with your new found darling. Keep small coins for the baht bus. The driver will tell you more if you ask "how much?" Had them 10 baht and walk away. Dont get into altercations. Walk away. If they overcharge you. Pay it and don't go there again. There are many other bars and restaurants to go to. I agree to travel light. I only take a carry on. Straight off the plane and into immigration. Keep the immigration card with you. You will need to show it when you depart. Have the name of your hotel ready to put on that immigration card when you arrive. I wear clothes that aren't the best on my flight. That way I can throw them away when changing planes,etc. Laundry is cheap to have done . Lastly enjoy yourself and relax

A lot of good info on this video. I'll add one more. Use your hotel safe. Keep any important documents that you might have in the safe except for when you might need them.

Don't make plans is such a good point. On my second trip out, I prebooked a trip to Koh Samui to begin after a week in Pattaya. First of all, after a week in Pattaya, I didn't want to leave. Secondly, once I arrived in Samui I didn't really enjoy the couple days I was there because I was looking forward to getting back to Pattaya. Samui was nice, but I felt like it catered to the Disneyland crowd. There were a lot of families, everything was expensive, and it just wasn't my scene. Needless to say, on subsequent trips, I've simply shown up in Pattaya with no plans and went with the flow. It has been a much more relaxing experience. Another point about traveling light. There are laundry services everywhere. Give them your dirty clothes, and they'll have the washed and folded for you the next day for a couple of hundred baht. if you don't want to buy a lot of clothes locally, this is another viable option.

Anyone new to Pattaya should without a question of doubt get on discord. Had that been around the first couple times coming to Pattaya it would have made my holiday insane instead of incredible. Took 3-4 trips to get the hang of it and learn the 'ways of pattaya'

great chat just what I needed as I am leaving tomorrow for Thailand and Pattaya... so make sure you have me signed up for the next bar crawl.... looking forward to having a drink at the buzzing bar,,,,,

Bagging up... there are clinics that you can take your "friend" to and get a fast test, just a quick prick in your arm.. me I'm snipped so I know I'm safe baby wise.. but may I say.. this is one of the best vlogs Trev has supplied.. we all learn the hard way.. don't be proud, please listen to advice : ) now go and enjoy

GREAT tips Trevor. CREDIT CARDS : These usually have insurance for purchases against fraud or faulty goods. So can be useful to use them. ATMs : My bank advised me to only use ATM's inside bank branches, and use the NFC thingy rather than the slot for it to recognise your card. Of course, always cover your pin number when inputting it. ATM FEES : Check what your bank charges for overseas withdrawals. Some give them for free if your account is in credit by a certain amount. MONEY BELT : When travelling, I use these to keep credit cards and passport on my person. MEDICATION : I needed medicine in Asia. At the expat clinic I went to, the American doctor there advised that chemist bought drugs made in India are of good/ trustable quality. But avoid those made in China. CONDOMS : The HIV rate for female sex workers in Thailand is approx 1.7%. So about 1 in 50. However, a report stated that " urban settings have shown to yield exceptionally high HIV prevalence among female sex workers, as high as 20% in Bangkok, for example ". 10% of new HIV infections annually are from female sex workers. So the risk is real ... Remember, condoms aren't 100% effective against HIV as the HIV virus is 50 times smaller than the natural pores in latex condoms. So consider getting PrEP that can significantly help against catching HIV. And if the condom breaks, best advice is to immediately both of you to go to the clinic for post-exposure treatment just in case. They will also be able to test the girl to see if she is infected. HOTEL SAFE : Make sure that if you use the hotel safe, that it's actually firmly affixed to something, and that if the back is accessible, that it is securely attached. And if you're having sex with ladyboys, the HIV rates among that group of sex workers is much higher ( about 11%, with younger ladyboys more likely to be infected than older ladyboys ). You can read all about it on the avert webside.

Two thoughts from me Trev, and I've been to Pattaya more times than I can remember. My first trip was 1991 and not a clue how many times since. First.... the Sun is absolutely Fierce ! If you're a bit thin on top like me (and Trev🙂) wear a hat. If you don't you will finish up with a blinding headache, worse than any hangover you've ever had. It will get you, so be aware. Second and especially for newbies... Thai's set great store in not loosing face. Even the working girls. DO NOT get into an argument in a bar or with a girl. Find a way to climb down calmly, buy one or two drinks and then leave on good enough terms. Apologise even if it chokes you! IF you are silly enough to get into a row with a Girl or the Mamasan YOU WILL COME OFF WORST. Those girl are all protected, they always have three or four heavies watching their back. You can be the best bar scapper on the planet but those guys will take you apart and you wont even see it coming. You would be lucky if you woke up in Hospital. I've seen it happen and it's brutal. And no-one, especially the Police, will come to your help. So DO NOT get into it with locals... They don't give a shit how badly they hurt you. You WILL Loose and if you survive, you will spend the rest of your trip in Hospital. Stay cool, big smiles, use your loaf, and it's a great place to enjoy yourself.

The don’t make plans is the best advice you can ever give.. at best make a outline to do!!!

Great advice mate. One tip I would add is for mosquito protection they have excellent spray products in every pharmacy and there is no shortage of pharmacies. I buy loads of it and bring it back home because I live in a mosquito area, it is better than I can get at home. One other tip which might not be for everyone if you don't want to carry your phone but you can scan your passport onto your phone and use that instead of carrying your passport, very handy. I do both, scan and carry a copy. Excellent job as always Trev.

Thank you, Trevor. Good information, as usual.

Excellent! so many great tips! Possibly the most important being - Keep It Real! Everyone thinks they have it nailed, they won't fall , but in the heat of things, it can happen. Regardless a great time is almost certain. Can't wait to get back on my next trip.

Good advice/reminders. For Newbies 1. While walking down any Soi ignore anyone trying to get you to go to a private show. Its a scam.

Book a taxi from airport,,nams taxi or others prior to flying,takes all the stress out of landing ,and getting to pattaya.

Get mosquito repellents at 7-11, both cream and spray. The brand is Soffell. I take the cream version as a kind of body lotion as my skin gets dry after swimming and exposure to the sun the whole day. I carry the spray with me all the time and even spay on my clothes because mosquitos here are so powerful that they sting through clothes. I have been in Pattaya for ten days, not a single mosquito bite so far.

As usual, top notch advice. You are a walking bible on all things Pattaya Trev. Hopefully newbies take notice, specially the "Don't fall in love advice", I think another vlogger advised to make the 1-day rule your own (only see a girl for max of one day) until you learn to navigate the pattaya sea of love 🤣

Great tips. Some to add from my worldly travels. If you do chk a bag (and spot on about for most tropical places..only need carry-on). Allways carry chg of clothes and items you may need incase of lost luggage or the unexpected. Trust me on this! - leave jeans at home. Wear on/with you light jacket/windbreaker or layers if from cold climate. Zip off pants. Wear on plane when cold, zip off legs when arriving! Pack sandles in bag, wear light comfy walking shoes on plane. Buy underwear and socks that are quick dry (pant-shorts also). Can washnin sink and dry in no time. - Bug spray. Very important. While Deet is good w mosqitos, I have found it doesnt do squat w little bitting @ssholes. Deet also will melt plastic..think about that. Just good bug spray like OFF brand always worked. Keep in 2oz carryon bottles. Get a couple sweat bands and soak to extend life. Keep in ziplock. So when you are constantly showering you dont run out! - And also same w micromanaging trip. I had my best time in Pattaya when I only planmed a dive for the week and ran into guys on leave and made new friends. Just go w the flow. Many expats are friendly, and will discover new things. - And yes keep it real! Diff between western women is just time before they take your money and heart lol Seruouslly thou, just be realistic. Fool and his money are soon parteted..many times heartbroken. Hypergamy is real. Enjoying this channel..thanks for the video! -

Words of wisdom and some great tips and advice from a seasoned professional. Well done Trevor.

From a guy who spent 9 months a year for 4 years in a row in Thailand and 3 out of the 4 had a stomach virus that required antibiotics. Get your imodium, pepto, loperamide and take these aids when you first get to Thailand or when you have the first signs of diahhrea.I knew guys who stayed in Thailand for 6-7 months a year and always had stomach problems. Address this with your doctor before you leave your home countries. Great piece of advice here. Don't rinse your mouth while brushing your teeth with tap water.

Great advice. Also when travelling light, newbees should know that cheap laundries are on every street corner - overnight service at 60 baht/kg. No need for more than 3 or 4 t-shirts in your carry-on trolley.

Nothing wrong with catching the bus from Suvarnabhumi mate, you still get to where your going in the end, 1000-1500B v 120B I know which one I'd prefer, paying extra doesn't mean your a baller

I always try to go by public transport. It’s cheap. You see more. It’s more uncomfortable, true. But then we enjoy it.

I've never been nor probably wont but I still find your videos very interesting and factual...👍

Usually I take 4/5 grand away when on holidays. Before I leave Ireland I would send half my money to myself by western union and take the other half on me. Then when first half is spent I collect the other with my western union receipts

So much spot on advice on this video, specially the part of not over planning, if it's your first time Westerners don't realize how things don't work the same in Pattaya that they do in the west

If your in a bar or Go Go, and your paying your bill with a 1,000 Baht note, make sure the waitress acknowledges the large note sometimes they will only give you change of a lower note. Especially in Go Gos where the lighting is dim. And always check your bin, many bars and Go Gos pad your bin with extra drinks.

Take a few bank cards from different accounts and hide in separate places.You'll be able to interchange between them should one go missing.Withdraw highest amount of baht available in any one go.

Trevor, that was great advice for newcomers to Pattaya and for guys who've come some times allready. And about the city of Pattaya...people say it's never going to be like it's used to be...granted. But i think it even will be better. Construction, new condo's...all kinds of new places. All kinds of tourists besides the usual ones.

Timely advice as I’m flying in from Phuket Tuesday. First stop, Buzzin Bar and I’m expecting VIP treatment 🤣🤣. Only thing planned is an overnighter at Koh Lan after a few days as per your video recently. Don’t quite agree on your taxi advice but I’ve learnt from my 30 trips there how to avoid the scams. Totally agree on the ‘supplies’ and I always get a letter from my doctor on my medications as I tend to be a walking pharmacy (at my age). Cheers and thanks for the great vid.

Travel light.. yes! First time I came.. my luggage was lost and didn't show up for 4 days. no worries, .. shorts, vest, and and flip flops. washed my clothes in the sink at end of each day..all set for the next.

Yet Another Wonderful Informative Video with Great Advice, I always take just Hand Luggage then on Arrival at your Hotel i go to the local Market and Purchase Shirts Trousers Sandals Etc and a Bag for Return all Dirt Cheap. For the Mosquito's i found Coconut Oil good for that and never wear Socks as on my first Trip in 2001 it was the place they like to call Home and had Red itchy Rings around my Ankles for 2 Weeks Duh

Thanks mate! I'll be there in September - October and I'll check out the discord too. Very helpful. You're doing amazing work.

Great vid Trevor 🌴👍 I always travel with 2 wallets, real and fake one full of old cards & funny money.

Some great advice, Trev. Was “careful” about protection most of time, but couple of times I wasn’t. Paid for it big time on return. As far as carrying money, cards etc, I always leave it in a pouch under my trousers so it is unthievable.

Excellent travel advice. Thanks for your travel tips.

@Buzzin Pattaya - This video is excellent but can you please give tips on the following: 1. Drugs - How can people avoid being offered them or getting stiched up by the police in a sting? 2. Jet skis if you want to use them and how to avoid the scams? 3. Police..what happens if you get arrested? 4. Steet food and tips on where to eat etc? 5. Internet- Do we need to buy a new sim etc? 6. What to do if your are being scammed by a a fraudulent bar bill?

I packed a few boxes of johnny's for my trip from Aus only to find that they were made in Thailand. Thai johnny's were fine 👍

Trev, you are the man!!! Thanks for the advice

Even though you seem to be an Arsenal supporter, this is still the best advice point on KZfaq. So well done Trev!

All good advice and common sense. Transport is so cheap and safer to get Baht Bus Taxi or even Taxi Bike than hire Motorbike - Not needed in Pattaya. Laundry's are everywhere and cheap so you don't need loads of clothes. Always inform your Bank that your going to Thailand give them dates of your Travel just incase you have to use ATM and remember it's 6 or 7 hours time difference to UK. When you go out only take out money that you can afford to spend for that night - Leave ATM card in Hotel safe - when you are enjoying yourself you always spend more money than you should. Photo copies of everything including your Hotel Booking as on occasions you might turn up your Hotel and there is no booking for you. Some Hotels want 500 - 1000 THB Deposit for damages but they will refund you when you check out. Always show Thai people respect and don't get involved in fights or arguements just walk away. If you want many Ladies just tell the Ladies concerned your a Butterfly be upfront they will understand. ❤️🇹🇭🙏

If you are going to Thailand this is it, you only need this video. awesome video Trevor.

it was the best information ever thank you a lot for this information i will be in Pattaya 3 April i hope more information come more

Wow the girls are so gorgeous. I think I will head over to Pattaya in February as a part of my trip to Bangkok.

Great advice Trev, can’t wait to get there later this year.

Thank you so much for all of this wise advise. Very helpful and interesting.

Hey kat, I usually do travel light because I can only take 18 days at a time. Once (18 days) in the spring and once (18 days) in the autumn. I am no longer working and I plan on being in Thailand for a long while. (hopefully retire there) The reason why I plan on traveling heavy to Thailand is that I am 6'3 weighing approximately 260lbs and I have an inseam of 37 inches long and I wear a size 13 shoe. Depending on the style sometimes 14 size shoe. Now the few times a have been to Bangkok I bought T-shirts, so that was not an issue, however, shoes and long pants are a whole complete different thing with me. Like always, I really appreciate your input, advice and response.

First time I went to Pattaya in 2001 I brought shoes trousers and I bought long sleeve shirts before I went, never used them, played golf when it was cloudy and never wore sunscreen (big mistake) didn’t use mosquito repellent (got eaten alive by the mossies) I buy the brand OFF when I’m there and find it great it’s in an orange aerosol. Great tips Trevor pity you hadn’t been on air when I started going. Thanks

Just need the dates for the Thai pass to be released then I hope to come out on the 23rd of May, Got all the other requirements to hand and then staying in the Opey on Soi Lengkee for 3 weeks, see you when I arrive, The cancer is reducing I'm 80% clear now and been given permission to travel, watch this space lol.

Trevor, have you ever heard of Dr Phil, the US tv Psychologist that dishes his useful advice on his own daytime talkshow? Well you are now my UK/Thai Dr. Trev! 555. Great advice you gave, mate.

Some great advice for those who are not seasoned travelers to Asia. Southeast Asia. I really agree with you on the two points towards the end. Don’t plan too much ahead of time! It’s worthless to do so. Won’t make much sense. Once you land there things will just happen anyway. And that’s part of the adventure! The fun. Spontaneity! When I traveled to many places in Asia, besides living in some of those countries, I never planned. Never. Always worked out. Plus the other important point mentioned too, don’t “wear your heart on your sleeves and get too emotionally attached”! You are so right about how it’s a business! It is. It’s all about the 💵💵💵! For these girls. It can get tricky. When you meet someone you are really attracted to. Like. But use your brain! So many only use what is between their legs! Not their brain. Big mistake. Think. Think. Great notes here in this video. Those bar crawls sound like they are fun to do. Coffee meets too. 👍

You need to check the ingredients of any sun lotion you bring as Thailand has banned lotion on the beaches with certain ingredients.

Yellow and green. Arrive at your Pattaya hotel in a Bangkok taxi. Costs a bit more, and always agree the price with the driver before you leave BKK, but the hotel will know you are not a cheap charlie

I recommend MR T Taxi Service for ride from Airport to Pattaya, you can book with an email. All they ask is for you to show them your reservation on email. 1000B One Way (I always tip them 100B). They always have newer vehicles and very professional drivers. If you don't make a reservation I would suggest the taxi's outside, sometimes you will get a guy that drives too slow, or stops for gas, but never had any issues with these guys either, they will be slightly more than the reservation guy.s

Trev, a first time i have seen a video for newcomers, you are tops man, hope they watch and listen ,best of times for you , mate,

Hello Trevor. Girls here in Pattaya do like a guy who makes the effort when it comes to dress sense. I always go out wearing a shirt trousers and shoes looking smart. You can see the difference they are more welcoming than if you are in flip flops shorts and a vest. 😁

Trevor thanks for answering my questions yesterday. I always find the information you give people very useful. Once again thank. IOU a beer 🍺👌mate

Very informative video 👍🏻👍🏻. I just wish I had seen it 12 years ago when I first went lol

"So I am told" Haha read between the lines 😄

Great video Trevor! The Bolt app is like uber, you know how much the ride is upfront. Bringing clothes is a waste, but quality footwear is a must if you walk a lot. Cheap flip flops will kill your back fast. If you fall in love, do it with a rotation of ladies so you have a back up plan! Tell Bua I said hello!!! See you soon!

These video's are awesome mate. I am traveling in may to pattaya, these vids help alot!! Cheers and keep up the good work!!

Trevor Thanks Appreciate The Advice Tips ..

I always only bring carry on,and the only cloths are what I am wearing.

Great tips, sir! I prefer portable wifis over sim cards when traveling with a partner. Also, a portable battery pack to carry around for your phone, if you want to stay out all day and not head back to the hotel to recharge.

Another handy Vlog for 1st-time visitors to Thailand but more specifically Pattaya, but this also applies to people who have been before but never had any issues before so become complacent with the REAL problems you can potentially face. I am glad that the Thai Gov insists on the medical cover that includes the current pandemic with a required $ amount of coverage but if viewers read this there is a Vlog of a Thai insurer and her contact details on the Buzzin Discord server listed under insurance, even when medical insurance was not mandatory, I came across people that travel with no medical or general travel insurance or tell me 'My Credit card covers me' which sounds good but Thai hospitals will not treat you if you do not have a physical copy of the policy on you if you are unconscious or are unable to be able to get access to it. Yes, they will let you die in the emergency dept unless your wallet is bulging or access to a credit card with no proof of insurance. Take a photo of the policy on your phone but a printout is best. I also found that getting a copy of your passport is a must, but also found that the cops were also interested that you were not overstaying your Visa, so also get another copy made when in Pattaya for around Bt200 (at most copy shops all over Pattaya) and they will print the photo page on one side and 'Entry stamp date' on the 'B' side and shrink it down to a business card size and laminate it. I lost my Passport between BKK and Pattaya, trust me losing a Passport in Thailand is a friggin nightmare (travel insurance must cover that as well, mine did so I was covered so brilliant) The last time I traveled with hold luggage, it was sent from BKK to another continent so I was missing it for a few days, so good advice about 'Carry-on' only if poss. Buying male enhancement products from street sellers is dodgy at best, but 'My Friend Told Me' (555) that the main pharmacies do stock the proper gear, he told me that he uses a big pharmacy halfway down 2nd Road. This has to be one of the BEST advice Vlogs I have read, it covers all I can think of including the problems I faced, but much more. Good work T, obviously I will not call you Mr T or I may face copyright issues 555

Nice vlog Trev. Worth booking good Test & Go package linked to Bangkok hospital to ensure if positive PCR test on first day you are looked after and more comfortable. I negotiated a good price with Avani Pattaya Resort direct. Was cheaper than Agoda. Don't need Thai bahts until you are released from hotel prison. As Trev said take cash. If you plan on going regularly to Thailand best to open up a Thai bank account such as Bangkok Bank then transfer using Wise. You save a shit load at the ATM, about 3 or 4 bottles of Chang every time. Otherwise have a fantastic hot f*king holiday. Its incredible right now 😍

Trev i find the bus to Pattaya really convenient. It's comfortable too. Once there I take the motorbike to the hotel. . It's not that bad.and is stress-free.

I drank tap water my first day because I was so dehydrated. Nothing happened other than a third eye on my forehead.

All good tips,I would just add one more,always keep some tissue paper in your back pocket

Happy Taxis Bangkok. Book it online, pay a few hundred baht deposit and all done. The price is around 1200 to Pataya paid to the driver. Used them few times, never let me down. Not the cheapest but very professional.

your so correct.check before you cant.

The higher the deet content the better the mossie spray,And the heat always has me licked 😁 pace yourself and rehydrate regularly, and don't let the little head think for the big head.And dont forget, stay safe 👨🏻‍🦲

If you’re staying in bkk your first night, you can go to the taxi rank (taxi meters). They do use their meter if you’re going anywhere in bkk. If you’re planning to go to Pattaya, yes they will fleece you. Will usually charge 2000 when you can pre book something for more like 1000/1200.

I found out my cash card was the best way to look after my money &like u said about 100quid in the bath most hotels will pick u up at the airport for a small fee it’s handy

Nothing wrong with the bus, travel time is the same, they run every 20 mins in peak times, comfortable, air-conditioning etc. No need to waste time/money buying clothes, a couple days clothes in your bag, laundries are everywhere and cheap, drop off and pick up same day

The Kamagra can easily be bought in any pharmacy but also from the street vendors and they usually do work.

Great advice however my pants are gunna be down from the minute I land fcuk the insurance 😂😂

You provide very used helpful and to the point critical information. Thx

Just got my passport last year. Hoping to hit Pattaya in October for a week.
