His First-Time Experience in Thailand... | One Night in Bangkok Ep. 014 

Thanks for the comment and it was nice meeting you 🙏

Oh & btw, Earn & Darin, add so much to the show! Good call & rounds it all out so well🙏🏽

Thanks for watching 🙏

@BG-zl4dg - I am a frequent traveler of Thailand and I can assure you that there is nothing to fear! Last year, 2023, I spent two months in Bangkok from California, and I felt safer in Thailand than in my own home city in the US. The most dangerous part of Thailand, especially in Bangkok, is riding motorbikes and cars do not stop for pedestrians like they do in the West. You're more likely to be scammed than be violently assaulted. The 5 major scams you have to watch out for are: 1. Broken meter taxi scam 2. Tuk Tuk taxi scam 3. Motorbike rental damage scam 4. Jet ski damage scam 5. Bar girl scam. Before entering a taxi, ask if the meter is working. If it's broken, get another taxi with a working meter. If a Tuk Tuk driver offers you a city tour for a very low price, he will take you to jewelry stores and tailor stores along the way. The driver receives a commission for the tourists he brings to the business. Use GRAB which is like Uber and you'll know exactly how much the ride will be. Just download the app. The motorbike and jet ski scam are the same. The rental office will accuse you of damage that was pre-existing. Just take a video of the bike or jet ski before use and point out any damage you find. Lastly, DO NOT fall in love with a bar girl no matter how much she loves you! Bar girls have many foreign men who send her money via Western Union every month. NO MONEY, NO HONEY! Fall in love with a normal Thai woman who works at a regular office job. Be careful, you will fall in love with Thailand and its people! You will find ways to extend your stay. Once you get home, all you think about is how to get back to Thailand. It will become an obsession. Your obsession will lead you to move to Thailand permanently! It happened to me.

Thanks again 🙏

That's crazy. Sounds like it would be a good movie concept

I've never been but I'd like to visit.

@@OneNightinBangkok_ come and visit and I'll bring you around to the second tallest building in the world 118 floors. Sky bar there. And many more skybars . And hidden bars. And beautiful peaceful islands with clear waters .

Smart man.

You can have it too

sounds like he fell in love with all the locals, the food, the culture, the sights, the lifestyle

Thanks for the visit

I think Pastel is better as a “date” spot. Sing sing is doable alone, but it depends how comfortable you are in a nightclub environment

@@OneNightinBangkok_ Thanks. I’m after a more normal night out listening to good music not a “Nana plaza” evening.

Personally I like Sing Sing for vibing out to a good DJ 👍@@jp_89

Oh trust me- I’m really biggest advocate of other places in Thailand. It’s just that my friend visited and we went there so that’s what we talked about.
