For me personally, cash is the top priority. Download the metro maps onto the phone. I usually purchase overseas data plan from my home Country so I don't have to switch SIM cards. Before the service was available, I would get a local prepaid SIM card from the airport counter and make topups at convenient stores as and when needed. While travelling on BTS or MRT are quite convenient, there are places without stations close by. My top choice is to use the "Grab" mobile app to book rides, this service is similar to Uber, the advantage is you do not need to know how to say the destination name, just key it into the app and book. The price is comparable to Tuktuk or Taxi and if there are 3 or 4 passengers, the price becomes comparable to MRT/BTS. The mobile Apps I use a lot while in Thailand : LINE (for texting Thai friends), GoogleMaps (travel and food), Grab (get a taxi)
Hello Chris, thanks for using the MRT while you were in Bangkok! We saw your video and wanted to let you know that foreign students actually can buy the MRT Student Card if they meet our conditions: Must currently be a student in school or university whose age is not older than 23 years and also be able to present the student or university ID along with citizen ID during time of purchase. We apologize for the miscommunication and have reminded our teams. Hope you enjoyed the ride on the MRT Blue Line and continue to use it to get around Bangkok in the future. Thank you.
Got my mobile data plan in same store 2years ago, nice to watch it again... miss Thailand... wanna go back asap.. your vids keeps memories alive, Thanks a lot🇨🇷❤🇳🇱
I go to a local Thai restaurant here in Pattaya and love one particular meal, rice with duck, they have a bowl of garlic and chilles and spring onions in a glass and you can have as much as you want, oh and water with ice is free too. all for 50baht amazing value and it tastes great!
@@Dasm. It’s very near Friendship Supermarket on South Pattaya road, there’s a row of small Thai Restaurant’s, on google maps to the right of Friendship Supermarket there’s a very long name in Thai for one of the them, it’s one of those!
Go to Bangkok Bank and tell them you’re a tourist and want to apply for a bank account. They’ll give you a form which you take to Canadian embassy in Bangkok and costs $50 CAD to get the form stamped. They fill out and stamp that form while you wait and then you bring it to the bank. You need to deposit about 500 baht into your newly opened account as minimum payment. Maybe another 200 baht for your ATM card. I did it on January 2020. Easy Peasy.
Great information Chris & Adam. For anyone just arriving here, it would be worth checking out a few different banks as it seems that they all have there own criteria for opening an account. When I first came here on a tourist visa, I opened an account with The Bangkok Bank, very easy. Welcome to Thailand Adam, have a great time 🙂
Thank you fir this info as I did get worried. It is likely that my next trip to Thailand would be a 90 day so that I can apply for my marriage visa - so this refusal had me worried
@@bengunn4373 You'll have no problem in your situation Ben. Register with immigration that you are staying with your girlfriend or her family. You have to do this within 24 hours of arrival. Immigration will give you a letter to confirm this (there might be a small charge for the letter). Ask you girlfriend to stand as guarantor for you. She will have to show her I.D. In this situation, most banks will allow you to open an account.
Great information Chris I needed that video four years ago when I just started traveling to Thailand. I still think I would get lost traveling the train system. Thanks for Posting
I am a big fan of your channel and your video means so much to me than you could ever possibly imagine Chris. First I get to practice my English and second I got to see what is going on with BKK during this Covid period. My dream is to one day strolling around Bangkok with you and talk to you in person about how appreciate I am about you doing this video for us. Thank you for loving Thailand and make the world know who we are. I as a Thai person owe you a lot. Thank you so much. I hope one day I get to see you Chris.
@@RetiredWorkingForYou Am so honored to get a reply from you. I am wondering if I could one day strolling around BKk with you. I would love to try many things I saw you did on video. One of them is the famous Pad Kra Pao. Am a big fan of Pad Kra Pao myself. Anyway I wish you and your love ones all the very best. Be safe
I would suggest to check out Kasikorn Bank along Sukhumvit. There are a couple of branches that allow tourists that stay short term to get a checking account together with a VISA Electron or Maestro card. Other than that it was a pretty good starter kit.
Michael Ireland I wish you get better soon. Every thing what happen to you, or you ill,I beg Buddha bless you getting better.Please fight your problem. Regarding from Thailand.
Anyone watch “Looper”, as many have said it is present day Chris with Chris from the past. I continue to live Thailand through your vids! I still have my sim from when I was in Thailand, wonder if it works.... Thanks Chris! Edit: Looking forward to the 3 month rental vid alot!!!
One comment about the BTS rabbit card -- another option is the BTS day pass which I did when I was in Bangkok. You pay a flat rate for one day which is a bargain and then you can ride the BTS as much as you want that day for just the flat rate you paid.
Straight to Ekkamai bus station and leave Krung Thep as fast as possible is how I roll. Nice that you can give out info on youtube that I learned on a lonely planet guide 20 years ago. People can't read now, so watching is how they learn I guess.
I love your video 🙏Thank you very much to make Bangkok/Thailand look interesting for traveler again. I will support your channel and please keep continuing make more videos/content wherever you go around in Thailand 🇹🇭💗
I somehow came up with the idea of buying AIS prepaid phone cards for my GF and I before leaving the States. Turned out to be one of the smarter things I did. Her phone has an eSIM programmed for Verizon, and she didn't want to blow it away, so I brought my old Pixel 4 and she's on it with her Thai family right now. Scored some major points :)
So love seeing your videoes, I found you yesterday and have been subscribing and binge-watching your channel. Brings back memories to see Terminal 21 and Asoke area. Also love the diversity of your channel, a lot of great information, and cool videos on condos and houses but also on thaifood and culture, plus I love to see you give back and support the thais, this is how it should be. I would love to have a condo in Bangkok and one in Isan. My favorite place in Thauland is Isan, I was in Buriram, Korat, Udon Thani and Nong Khai - could be cool to see a house/condo video on living in Isan. I know Udon Thani has many westerners in that area. Keep up the good work and so happy to find your channel - greeting from Copenhagen, Denmark.
Hey Chris, Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa. Stumbled across your channel and thoroughly enjoy it. Was in Thailand a little bit more than a year ago, just before all this COVID stuff. Spend 3 days in Bangkok, know it is not long enough, and the rest in the northern parts, Chiang Rai and mostly Chiang Mai where my daughter lives. Planning my next trip which will be much longer, even considering Thailands Retirement VISA. All the best and keep up the good work. Marius
What I miss from Bangkok those Garlic and Oil Chicken, from a street vendor near Khaosan near that Svenson Ice Cream parlor. Pomagranade Juice, the BBQ in Khaosan... Thai street food is the best. Also that Green Curry Chicken and that Masala Curry. Now, Im envious.
Sorry Chris, Your nephew is now a Thai convert he isn’t going back. The smile on his face and the joy in his voice confirms he’s in a happy place. Wait till the girls find him. Lol. Great video.
I'm researching a move to Thailand. I've been researching since 2019. This is the first time I learned about opening a bank account in Thailand. Good to know. Thanks Chris! :)
Chris, your bat crazy but in a brilliant way. Your nephew is super fun too. (He could easily pass as ur son lol). Awesome content as usual, a great 12 (quality) minutes spent there. Thumbs up!!
Thanks for that video Chris You reminded me my Thai SIM was about to run out of validity (stuck here since march) had to call on Skype from the UK to extend it ,I've had it for 12 years don't want to lose it
Nice to see you helping Adam out been busy with the house build last few weeks but nearly done now bro 😎.. wow I see you on 84k subs now incredible number !!!

i was able to open a Thai bank account (even with a tourist visa) by getting a certification from my embassy that I was planning to apply for a retirement visa . I submitted it to the bank , and Voila ! they gave me a bank account to where i can deposit the 800,000 baht deposit money required to apply for a retirement VISA . (Note: It's been over a year now and i only have a couple of thousand dollars worth of Thai baht in my Thai bank account. Ive been living outside of Thailand Since the Wuhan virus outbreak began)
i bought a sim with one months unlimited data in jungceylon shopping mall Patong for 900 baht, around $40 Australian and had no issues with it. my starter kit also includes a couple of chang singlets
Everyone that travels a lot should get a card that reimburses ATM fees. There are several out there; Charles Schwab offers one in the U.S. Basically the way it works is you're reimbursed all ATM fees at the end of the month. Anytime I go to Thailand it always saves me a couple of hundred dollars per trip.
Yes, you can open a bank account with a Tourist visa... If they say no, just go back to the same bank and speak to a different teller... No need for a rental agreement or a work permit...
You can get a prepaid sim card with Internet (about 50GB) data plan in Thailand, Vietnam, cambodia, Singapore , China , India for only about $2 a week (price varies a little from country to country. or 300GB for $15-20 a month .

Yes, you can open a bank account with a Tourist visa... If they say no, just go back to the same bank and speak to a different teller... No need for a rental agreement or a work permit...
You can get a prepaid sim card with Internet (about 50GB) data plan in Thailand, Vietnam, cambodia, Singapore , China , India for only about $2 a week (price varies a little from country to country.
or 300GB for $15-20 a month .
These are literally some of my favorite videos !!
Soon enough the Thai tourist department is gonna pay you to make video :P Really good production quality and entertainment !
Maybe one day!
Another great video answering all the questions a new arrival needs answered. Hi hope “ The Kid” has an awesome holiday.
Another great video Chris, educational even for some of us who come to Thailand regularly.
It's like watching a strange version of Back to the Future :-D Enjoy Thailand, Adam, it's a wonderful country!
Welcome to thailand 🇹🇭

Use prepaid card such as Revolut. Much cheaper than regular credit card.
