Chinatown - majority are Chinese tourist
Khao San Road - majority are tourists from westen countries. Pick pocket signage are everywhere in Bangkok and not just Jodd Fair. Reclining Buddha temple keep making announcements to remind visitors regarding pick pockets issues. |

QUOTE(littleprawnReborn @ Mar 21 2024, 10:41 AM) i see. then have to be vigilant whenever in crowded pack area. there is no sure way to 100% prevent the pick pocket from happening unfortunately. Just take extra precautions and should be okizzit more safe to put wallet and handphone in bagpack instead of pocket? my mum got her handbag cut few years ago and lost her handphone. luckily passport still there wow only 600 thb...  guess my case should be okie... looks like bkk really many tourist going in... most of the hotel i checked in agoda sold out or almost full... and break your cash separately into diff areas. You may keep some cash in your luggage in the hotel. As for passport, so far no police stop and want to check my passport. Only need to shown my passport in 2 occasions: when buying rabbit card in bts train station and enter one of the night club. .it is up to you whether u want to bring your passport alone when you are on the street. No worry. You will have fun in bangkok |

A bit of comment on bolt e hailing service. Harder to get drivers and waiting time is longer. grab offer the best service so far. Use grab saver option to save $ but no available during peak hours. littleprawnReborn liked this post

QUOTE(littleprawnReborn @ Mar 21 2024, 03:07 PM) yes, i usually keep my cash in different places... you may try hidden wallet as prevention just in case.for passport i have a habit of carrying it with me whenever i go coz i paranoid will get stolen in hotel lol... the most i worried is food poisoning coz i have a sensitive stomach... i heard from people not to buy drinks with ice cube coz the ice cube maybe not from boil water... really wanna prevent diarrhea during trip... littleprawnReborn liked this post

QUOTE(19 Degree South @ Mar 21 2024, 06:45 PM) BTs and MRT is the way to go around in bkk. Grab and ehailing cars in bkk are notorious for 'fong fei ke'! Pls stop acting like an expert when you are not even physically there.This post has been edited by bcombat: Mar 21 2024, 07:01 PM |

taxi driver’s mindset in Bangkok is the same as the one in Malaysia
need to be careful with them. Grabcar is a much better option. |
