What are the best methods for an American expat to learn Thai effectively?

Karim ***************

Take you a couple of years to be able to get a grasp of it. Get yourself a tutor, they’re not expensive and do a couple of lessons a week, for a few months, to get the basics.

@Richard *****

my English atm only lets me take out 12k baht. It’s more awkward for some people…

@Richard *****

that’s true lol. I carry cash because Thailand is a cash country. But lots of people don’t like to carry large amounts. It seems like it’s only crossing from other se Asian countries they want to see cash… I’ve never been asked to show money, flying from Europe.

@Ryan **********

you’re an a55hole because you’re arrogant. Obviously people have 20k if they’re in Thailand. Some people just don’t like to carry a lot of cash. All those “thank you for your service” compliments have gone to your head. Let’s set you straight… We think you’re a clunt

Is it cheaper to hire a driver or own a car in Thailand for occasional travel?

Karim ***************

@Maple ********

I did the same… Bought a second hand Toyota for 200k and drove it back to Chiang Mai. Love the extra convenience of having a car. I’ve done lots of cross country road trips and seen places I would never see. Running and service costs are minimal, compared to back home. And second hand cars hold their value if I want to sell it.

Is a 1-hour layover in Korea sufficient for making connections during a flight?

@Joe ********

Ive done that trip, it’s fine. They will hold the plane a little if you’re delayed. It’s only a problem if there is a big delay at departure from LHR

What are the best and cheapest options to transfer money from the UK to Thailand?

Karim ***************

So do you mean transferring or withdrawing? I’m confused. For withdrawing, go into the Thai bank with your card and passport, no atm fee. If you’re transferring, open Thai bank account and transfer with Wise.

Is it worth reporting a lost phone in a taxi in Pattaya?

Karim ***************

@Madz *****

what phone is it? If it’s an iPhone, log in to his icloud from a web browser on your phone or a computer. You’ll be able to see where the phone is. Other phones have that tracker as well but not all. You can call the phone with that, post a message to the screen with a number for them to call or a place to meet and return the phone.
