#Bangkok ang perfect example ng “same same but different” para sa ating mga Pinoy. Same-same kasi bilang parehong ASEAN states, marami naman talagang pagkaka-pareho. Pero marami ring pagkakaiba sa kultura lalo na sa language, pagkain and religion, na madalas ay nakaka-confuse sa mga first timers. Kaya naman hindi surprising na may mga mistakes tayong nagagawa, pero madali lang din namang i-avoid ang mga ‘yan. And yan yung iisa-isahin natin in this video.

    15:52 better to use grab as a secondary option. Bolt ang ginamit namin for our rides, more than half ang fare nya compared sa grab. Kaya hindi kami nagbi-BTS masyado. Hindi kasi siya efficient (transfer-wise) compared sa Taiwan or HK. Pero yung MRT sa Thailand super goods!! 👍
  • @meekmillevo6226
    Actually even sa Chatuchak Market, magaling sila mag-convince and grabe maka-smile kaya hindi rin ako naka-confuse na bumili ng mga damit 😅
  • @daisybells0792
    Very informative. Thank you so much! Ang galing ng vlog na to. Halos kasi personal vlogs napapanood ko, no audio, aesthetic kuno. Will be visiting Thailand soon 😊
  • @ronnel3444
    Kahit sa grab may mga scammer din na driver. Kung cash payment, make sure na may small bill kayo na sakto pambayad. Kung medyo malaki kasi at alam nila wala mapagpapalitan sa labas, ang sasabihin nila wala silang panukli. Kaya di mo na makukuha ang sukli.

    Hello po, question about sa vat/tax refund. Meron din po bang tax refund counters sa Don Mueang airport or sa Suvarnabhumi airport lang po? Salamat po

    True yung sa labas ng temple. Samin nman sabi closed dw kasi lunch break nag dadasal dw yung mga monk. nag jojoke pa na Manny Pacquiao Manny Pacquiao dw ksi from PH. Ang sabi balik nalang dw kmi mga 1pm. F gusto dw namin punta muna kmi sa pier something, tumutulong dw sya sa mga tourist na hindi ma scam. Wag dw kmi pumunta sa ganitong pier kasi 4k tbh dw ang singil tapos dapat dw dumiretso lang kmi don sa pier na sinaggest nya. E marunong ako mag thai ng verry light tinanong ko if tao rai (how much) sabi niya wait lang inexplain pa dw niya. Tapos npa oo na lang kmi. ihahatid dw kmi ng tuktuk 10 bhat each lang kmi. tapos pag dating don sa pier ang singil is 4k bhat. Sabi namin e sabi ng lalaki don hindi dw 4k. tapos sabi bibigyan niya dw kmi ng discount 2k na lang dw, tapos biglang nag flashback sakin yung video na ganito na napanood ko sa tiktok, ayun umaalis kmi sinabihan lang namin na mag wiwithdraw muna kmi,,,
  • @benjiemangoba
    just wanna ask po if applicable ang installment basis (like BNPL) upon purchase sa Siam Outlet using credit card?
  • Will they give VAT refund in cash if I purchased the items with a credit card?
  • Meron po ba cut off talaga ang Grand Palace? Kasi ganyan din po nangyari sa'min last 2018 eh pero may parang karatula sa may gate na parant cut off ganun kaya ayaw na magpapasok? Tapos may lumapit din nag alok ng floating market daw! Akala namin yung sikat na floating market hindi pala iikot ka lang may river by boat tapos may konti nagtitinda na super mahal naman sayang sa oras!
