Everything I wish I knew BEFORE travelling Thailand 🇹🇭
Planning a trip to Thailand in 2026? Watch THIS first. Whether it’s your first time or your fifth, Thailand has a way of catching you off guard if you’re not prepared. In this video I’m sharing everything I genuinely wish I’d known before I went — the practical stuff nobody puts in the brochure.
From getting around Bangkok and navigating transport, to what to eat, what to avoid, how much things actually cost, and the cultural moments that matter — this is the honest, no-fluff guide I wish existed before I landed.I’ve just finished my own Thailand series covering Bangkok, Pattaya, Hua Hin and Phuket — and this video is everything I learned along the way, distilled into one place. Watch this before you book. Thank me later. 🙏

Hey Phoebe I’m planning my first trip to Thailand (I’ve been to Vietnam and done 3 trips to Bali) my current plan is a week in Phuket and a few days in Bangkok is that sufficient or should I visit more places? FYI haven’t booked anything yet just throwing around ideas TIA
Such a useful video, thanks very much . 😎
Great info!
Hiya! Thank you so much for sharing these useful tips! Especially the cash vs card is a good one. I don’t even take cash or cards with me and rely solely on Apple Pay these days. Good reminder. Have an amazing week ahead 🤙
I’m glad you’re a non drinker life is fun without it! Love the videos keep them coming!

hi, If you ever get the chance, please come Bangladesh, and explore beautiful places like bandarban, thaanchi, Saint Martin's Island, debota-mokh, Tindu Bandarban, Sreemangal's tea gardens, Ratargul Swamp Forest, Kaptai Lake, Sajek Valley, and Rangamati. You can also enjoy delicious foods like Kacchi bhai Biryani, Tehari, a variety of small fish curries and mashed dishes (borta), pitha (traditional rice cakes), and other unique cultural foods.
— If you're traveling in Bangladesh, many local travel groups can help and provide guides for a better experience.
Bangladesh has rich mix of nature, culture, unique history.🥰
Good to see you again hope you continuing having fun traveling in asia
This video is very useful and creative. Thank you for visiting Thailand again and again. ขอบคุณครับ 🙏
Would you consider moving to Thailand, to be based there seems like a great option for you, but where would you prefer to live in Thailand?
GREAT, comprehensive video for someone interested in visiting Thailand. I’ve been there multiple times, and I’ll be returning in November 2026. I can co-sign everything you said in this wonderful video❤
June-September is amazing in Samui. Different rainy season (mid Oct to January). People should google weather for each place they want to visit.
Great content! I'd love to design thumbnails for your videos.
Thanks!
Don't forget TDAC before arrival.
The most beautiful place in the world is Kerala, Ooty, Kodaikanal. Tea plantations and waterfalls are the best. The lakes are quite scenic for boating. And there are so many food options than raw papaya, shrimp and oysters etc.
I follow you many years, you transformed to a very beautiful lady.
Love your videos, Phoebe! Do you, or anyone, know how to get around booking a Bolt without Visa asking for the two factor authentication to my Canadian cell phone number? I use an eSIM so I can’t access my cell number. Any traveller tips from others about this authentication issue, specifically Visa?
Lovely ❤❤
