Maenam beach looks more amazing than I remembered. Love the lineup of palms all along the beach👍👍

Can anyone recommend a place or area in Bangkok where I can print our company logo on baseball caps and T-shirts? Checked in MBK but prices seem very high and reviews bad.

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

@AjJohn1 Same here never been asked but many still say it happens. Well I’ll take the amount in EUR just in case.

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

Do they still require travelers arriving at Suvarnabhumi to show 20k THB in cash if asked? Never been asked nor has anyone I know so just wondering if it makes any sense to exchange cash in my home country for a terrible rate🤔

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

What happened to Ko Tao🫣 Sairee looks like the new Agia Napa of Thailand. One more great island destroyed.

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

Anyone know if Lomprayah boat tickets can be bought at Thongsala port Ko Phangan? I want to take the ferry to Ko Tao but online bookings are not possible on the same day.

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

Has anyone / how does one bring a pet dog from the EU (Nordics) to Thailand? Is the Thai (https://t.co/fxucSDuyr9) link reliable in terms of the documentation required?

Has anyone ever had to quarantine their pet and if so, how long for and what does this entail?

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

@MandalaySamui I’ve been wondering how rainy it is in Nov?🤔 Coming for a week soon and I’m seeing rain in the forecast everyday. Hope there’s some sun in between😎

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

@jac_siuhaj Found it thanks. Who would have thought it’s behind RevPoints😁 Those prices are great compared to other options. So I guess the data speeds are good?

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

What’s the best data eSim option for a 2 week holiday in Thailand? Haven’t tried them myself but something that doesn’t require a visit to an operator shop would be very convenient😬

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

Anyone been to Jodd Fairs lately? Wondering if it’s the same as before after reopening. Thinking of night market options in town other than my personal favorite Train Market Srinakarin.

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

@jac_siuhaj Nice, thx Jac! Strangely I can’t see anything about it in my Revolut app🤔

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

@jac_siuhaj That sounds great as I use Revolut Metal. I remember they mentioned about some SIM deals. Have to check thanks🙏🏻

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

@MandalaySamui Nice thanks ans Coco Tam’s was for sure on of the places I would visit some evening anyway😅

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

Are Grab rides available in Samui? I just remember the taxi prices being crazy so wondering how to get to places in the evening. Would have a car but leaving it at the accommodation in the evenings.

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

@MandalaySamui Wow just for that short trip😅 Well it will be fine for a few days. Can’t use the car in the evenings or else it means no cold ones.

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

@MandalaySamui Great thx. The thing is that I’m wondering if it’s smart to stay at a more remote location like ThongSon or BangPor if we want to get to places like the Fisherman’s Village and Chaweng at night? What kind of prices are we talking about😬?

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

Leaving BKK after 15 years in this amazing city❤️ Sad but can always come back🥳

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

Nice to return to Bangkok after 2 weeks of sweating in Bali. That weather was brutal🥵

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

@stewart17755848 For what? Accommodation certainly a lot cheaper if talking about the 2000-4000b range. Can get so much better value here. This time I’m referring to Legian, Nusa Penida and Lombok but last time 5 years ago was all over Bali and noticed the same.

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

A few interesting observations from Bali. Prices are cheaper than Thai tourists spots – especially accommodation! Also, people are way more friendly and genuine. Well maybe I’m biased but really a big difference. Food is obviously better in TH😅

[Johnny.BKK @JohnnyBKK1985]

@Propaga84401803 Yea the traffic in Bali is a joke. Far worse than in BKK. Took us over an hour to go from Legian to Sanur (18km trip)🙈
