Travel Tips for Visiting Thailand for the First Time
1. Tours: Don’t book any tours online. You have several tour companies spread all of the city or even the airport and you can book tours when you get there. Online prices are much more expensive and you can negotiate with tour companies on the spot, especially if you have a big group.
2. Safety: Take care of your belongings when walking on the streets or night markets. There are so many pick pockets around. Don’t carry large amounts of cash or your passport.
3. Transportation: Tuk-tuks are a super fun way of getting around. You can grab them on the street or ask your hotel to call one for you. Negotiate the prices, because the drivers tend to over price rides for tourists. Hold on to your phone and your bag closely to avoid snatchers on the street.
Tuk-tuks are sometimes more expensive than taking regular taxis. Another great option is Uber or Grab (like Uber but for Asian countries). The MRT/train system in Bangkok is also easy and very convenient to use.
4. Great finds in the market: silk scarves, dried fruits (especially mangoes), textiles, coconut oil
5. Sim cards: you can get one at the airport for around $10 with 4G. There are several companies that sell them after baggage claim and all with similar prices.
6. Currency exchange: don’t exchange in the airport, because there are countless exchanges in every corner of the city with better rates. Only exchange at authorized places that give you a receipt to avoid money scams.
7. Language: it isn’t difficult communicating with locals in most major Thai cities, but it’s best to carry a card with your hotel address written in Thai to show to taxi drivers.
