My recent solo trip to Thailand left me with so many wonderful moments. With the tips provided by my friends, I got most of the things right. But, there are few things that I will say could have been better. Here are few things that can be done to make your trip a great success.
- Make sure your credit card has international transactions enabled. If possible get a travel credit card that saves you during international transactions.
- Don't convert INR to Bhat while in India(especially in the airport). The conversion charges in airport is near 25%. It is not worth it.
- There are plenty of money exchange facilities in Pattaya. The conversion charges is only around 6% there.
- Book hotel in central Pattaya. That is where all the fun is.
- Install Grab and Bolt apps before you start. No need to setup, just install and get it ready.
- Travel lite. Carry as few cloths as possible. There are plenty of Indian food options. So, no need to worry about food.
- Once you reach Bangkok, take a SIM card at Bangkok airport. There are plenty of options available once you finish immigration.
- Use Bus service from Bangkok airport to Pattaya instead of Cab service. While cab service costs you near 1700 Bhat, you can reach Pattaya with only 143 Bhat using bus. Buses are available every 1 hour from airport.
- Bolt motorbike is the cheapest and most efficient way to travel within Pattaya and to nearby locations.
- Viator is the place you can find may activities that can be done in Pattaya. But, check other options in Google before you book tickets to any place. I find that every activity has discounted price on a different website.
- Pattaya is not just Walking street, it offers a lot more. Check different activities online before going there.
