Thailand

I recently realized something that confused me. I have a normal German driver’s license (Class B), which includes the AM category, and I also carry an International Driver’s Permit. Like many tourists, I’ve rented scooters in Asia and other countries while traveling. But I...

Got a trip booked to Thailand on March 22 with a connection through Doha. With everything going on in the region right now, starting to wonder what the best move is. Part of me thinks it might be smarter to wait and see if the airline cancels the flight, since that would likely...

Trying to find cheaper ways to get around Bangkok because using Grab motorbikes and the BTS is getting expensive. Google Maps often suggests bus routes, but it’s confusing how they actually work. When going to a bus stop there doesn’t seem to be any digital screen, just a sign....

Currently in Thailand and wanted to share something that happened so others can be careful. We booked a Bolt in Bangkok. Driver arrived, we loaded all our luggage, we’re traveling with an infant. Then he cancels the ride in the app and says he’ll take us directly for the same...

There’s a lot of bad info floating around about this. Having a connecting international flight does NOT automatically stop you from entering Thailand. If you meet the visa on arrival or visa free conditions for your passport, you can usually clear immigration, leave the airport,...

Honestly, twice a year wouldn’t stop me. Yeah, the flights are long and not fun, but four long hauls a year is very different from doing that every couple months. Plenty of people living in Asia do it for weddings, holidays, or work and survive just fine. Cost wise, even paying...

Thai Airways is the latest airline to axe first class in favour of a vastly upgraded business class experience, with enhanced ‘business plus' suites taking pride of place at Row 1. Despite a long history of indulgent first class flying, which arguably peaked on the iconic Boeing...

I live right next to the Tomorrowland 2026 site at Wisdom Valley, so I wanted to share the honest reality before people start booking hotels in Pattaya thinking it’s easy. The main road in (Highway 331) turns into a complete mess during big events. I’ve seen cars stuck for...

Planning a London to Phuket trip in March, and my mom wants to save money with Air India for £450 return. I’ve heard plenty of bad reviews though old planes, broken seats, cleanliness issues. Etihad is £650, so about £400 more total for two people, but it feels worth it for...

We’re on a super chill island in Thailand and two guys have basically set up a full time office in the restaurant area of our bungalow. Constant work calls, laptop setup, the whole thing. My partner is ready to lose it because she didn’t pay to listen to someone’s Zoom meetings...

My wife and I have been wanting to visit Thailand but she has a severe sesame allergy. We’ve traveled a lot with allergy cards in local languages, but even at home she’s had a few close calls. Sesame is pretty common in Thai food, and I’m not sure how well allergies...
