An acquaintance from back home told me his 19 year old daughter and her female friend will visit Bangkok sometime soon. And he asked me for advise.
Some thinks came to my mind like be very careful when you cross any road (including with green light), be careful with overcharging drivers and don't get drunk and trust any guy to take care of you.
And then I thought about riding apps like Bolt. But I have no idea if they require a local phone number. And then, I don't know if tourists can easily get a local SIM card. And can tourists somehow pay with QR code?
And how is the situation at the airport now? Can new tourists rely on taxi-meter from the airport? Or is that still a big scam?
Instead of everybody adding a few tips here, do you know any good websites with good advice for first time tourists, and especially girls?
Thanks
This forum has been going downhill since Rooster's humorous column ceased. My solution, is me. Pay me to write a weekly column of satire about Thai life and its struggle with ex-pats. The 3rd (as yet unfinished) book of my Thai trilogy is entitled 'Noodles At Noon' and explains how useless the Thai Army is and how Laos could invade and completely overrun this land in one hour.
True.
I know hundreds of immigrants who came to the UK from East Africa in and around 1972, they were mostly Asian Indians who were being forced out of the country.
Many of them set up their own businesses and worked hard and the next generation became doctors, accountants, and all sorts of professionals, now their children are being well educated and will go onto good jobs.
I think 50% of the national health service in the UK is staffed by immigrants or children of immigrants.
I do not support the current illegal immigrants who come in on boats from France, I thought we had to help people who came to the country while escaping a dangerous country, but I don't think France is particularly dangerous. 😃
