USA, no yellow fever, new Passport, Thailand here I cum!
Thanks for sharing 😊😊
There's also the Coach option.
Don’t use ATM to withdraw money.Superrich is the best and better rate to exchange money.
You also have to pay toll with Grab.
And also there is long queue with grab at the airport.
And the taxis at the airport HAS to use the meter.
Thats why you have the ticket..
Hi everyone
I put this comment in march 2025
Hi I'm from UK 🇬🇧
Thailand is not good place for travel anymore
Thailand was good 20 years ago now NOT !
Thai people are rich now by tourists and do not do respect to Europe and UK and USA tourists spacially immigration
disrespecting lots in airport
New Thailand government happy with India 🇮🇳 people and open everything for them and new Thailand government absolutely rubbish and easy disrespect European people
And very clear request to pay for example they say if u want stamp visa and if you want to visit Thailand pay now 50,000 or more …. and if u not pay them about 100,000 in airport go detention and back to your country I have proof of it and I have some records from them bad behaviour in airport and detention places
I can show to all the world 🌎 what Thai immigration spacially new government do with tourists and put them to dirty toilet inside a cages and call that place detention , seriously do not put your money and do not put your time in Thailand anymore because enough disrespecting enough to make them rich and thai police and thai immigration are extorting money , !
Best place now is Vietnam 🇻🇳 👌🏻 absolutely nice and beautiful and nice people, now Vietnam is same 20 years ago in thailand
Still no website up to apply for the new Tm6 online form due to start 01 May so I booked to arrive 30 April, after 40yrs of visits I've had it up to my neck with flip flopping visa rules
There is a lot of myth connected with Suvarnabhumi Airport I think, yes it is very busy, but having flown through it a number of times and having arrived and departed at a bunch of points in the day I don't think its any worse than the majority of large airports and I would rank it better than MANY airports especially outside Asia. If you are flying through there, just give yourself a little more time than you would normally and don't be too optimistic with your arrival processing.
Welcome to thailand my friend
Certainly VERY HELPFUL.
Thank you for the details 🙏🇮🇳
Hello, did they ask you for fingerprints at immigration?
Taxi in Thailand is a big scammer
In my Indian Passport
Surname – (empty/blank)
Given name – Shiva Kumar
So what fill family name??
Useful video
This helped me so much! Thank you so much!
Great video.. I'm planning to go to Hua Hin, any advice on how to get there from the airport? Thanks
