Things people ask most
- Is it safe to walk at night? (Generally yes, in the areas tourists use.)
- When is burning season and how bad is it? (Roughly February to April. It is real. Check the AQI before booking.)
- Do I need to book a massage in advance? (Rarely, except at well-known spas on weekends.)
- Can I drink the tap water? (No. Bottled or filtered water everywhere. Ice in restaurants is factory-made and fine.)
- How much cash should I carry? (1,000 to 2,000 THB a day covers food, transport and a massage comfortably.)
- Is Grab better than a taxi? (Almost always, yes — the price is fixed in advance.)
