‘Grab Advance Booking’ knows the flow, travel like a pro: How to deal with Thai transport
Grab Advance Booking. Image by The Thaiger Getting around Thailand can be a thrilling adventure… or a chaotic headache, depending on how prepared you are. Most people rely on ordering a ride on the spot. While it’s a convenient choice, it’s not always ideal when you’re on a tight schedule. The all-too-familiar scenario of watching the clock as your car sits in traffic for 20 minutes before even arriving is frustrating enough. Add to that the sudden downpours, which make traffic even worse, that always seem to strike just as you’re rushing to close a million-baht deal or, worse, trying to catch a flight. But why gamble with your schedule when you can travel like a pro with Grab Advance Booking? When timing is everything, you need a service that’s as reliable as you are. With Grab, you’ll never be left wondering if your ride will show up or if you’ll arrive on time. Here’s how. What is Grab Advance Booking? Image by The Thaiger Grab Advance Booking is a feature that allows you to reserve a car as late as 2 hours before you need it or as early as 7 days in advance. The feature also includes on-time pickup assurance, which guarantees that your driver will arrive promptly or even earlier. Plus, you have the flexibility to cancel your ride up to an hour before the scheduled time at no extra cost in case something suddenly comes up. In order to make your travel in Thailand even more convenient, Grab has introduced several useful updates to their Grab Advance Booking. First, they extended the wait time from 10 minutes to 15 minutes. If you’re running a little late or need extra time to get to your pickup point, the driver will wait for you longer without any additional hassle. It’s a practical feature, especially for travellers juggling multiple plans or dealing with unpredictable traffic. Another exciting update is the service’s expansion to 19 major cities across Thailand. Previously, Grab Advance Booking was primarily used in Bangkok and surrounding areas, but now it’s available in key cities nationwide. From Phuket to Chiang Mai, you can plan ahead of time and relax, knowing your ride is scheduled exactly when and where you need it. And here’s a little bonus for the savvy planners out there: use the promo code “ADVANCE” for a discount on your next ride. We’ll dive into the details at the end of the article, so keep reading! Total peace of mind, whatever your plan is Image by The Thaiger With Grab Advance Booking, you can plan your journey and choose the ideal ride to meet your specific needs. Heading to Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang Airport with more luggage than you’d like to admit? GrabCar is perfect when you need to catch a flight. Travelling with your family? GrabSUV offers the extra space required, ideal for family trips or when you need to transport more luggage. If you’re looking for something quick and easy, JustGrab is a convenient option. And for a more comfortable and premium experience, GrabCar Premium is the best choice. In provincial areas and cities outside Bangkok, Grab provides convenient options like JustGrab, GrabCar Plus, and GrabSUV. This means that you can easily get around practically wherever you are in Thailand. No need to worry about not finding a car because with the option to book in advance, you’ll always have a reliable and convenient ride, whether you’re heading to the airport or exploring local destinations. How does Grab Advance Booking in Thailand work? The Advance Booking button in the Grab app Booking your ride in advance is a breeze, and it gives you full control over your schedule. Here’s how you can do it: Open the Grab App: Select the “Transport” option, then tap the dedicated “Advance Booking” button to get started.

And there you go – peace of mind, on-time rides, and a nice little savings on top.

French Man Arrested for Reckless Riding on Doi Suthep
Just another stupid man, who thought he was being funny, and brave by not wearing a helmet. If you do not have a valid license either, just proves the stupidity. My last visit to Thailand last year, i saw many foreigners with no helmets on motor bike, what a bunch of morons. I hope this guy had to pay a big fine for his foolishness. -

Trump kicks off a Pennsylvania rally by talking about Arnold Palmer’s genitalia
As usual orange man trying to convince the cult that arnie liked him as a politician....arnies daughter remembers it differently...i think i will believe the daughter...maybe trump just likes to talk about men's dcck size because he is jealous? “My dad didn’t like people who act like they’re better than other people,” Peg Palmer said. “He had no patience for people who are dishonest and cheat. My dad was disciplined. He wanted to be a good role model. He was appalled by Trump’s lack of civility and what he began to see as Trump’s lack of character.” Peg Palmer recalls one moment when her father saw Trump on television during the 2016 presidential campaign. "One moment stands out in my mind," she said. "My dad and I were at home in Latrobe. He died in September, so this was before the election. The television was on. Trump was talking. And my dad made a sound of disgust — like 'uck' or 'ugg' — like he couldn't believe the arrogance and crudeness of this man who was the nominee of the political party that he believed in. Then he said, 'He's not as smart as we thought he was' and walked out of the room. What would my dad think of Donald Trump today? I think he'd cringe."- 1
