Outstanding video. Lots of great tips. I use taxis and buses when in Bangkok. And thank you for the motorcycle warning. They come out of nowhere and ride through the smallest spaces so please look before you step out of that vehicle everytime. I had two close calls the last time I was there.
Thanks for your video. Good presentation and speed of delivery. I've lived a lot in Thailand too. A couple suggestions for your consideration: I would pronounce หยุดตรงนี้ YOU TEE NAN (pronounced like "you tea non" instead of "you tea NOON" . And for stop here, YOU DRO NEE (pronounced like "you drone knee") หยุดตรงนี้ which is a more specific "right here" instead of TEE NEE which means something like "here, in Bangkok". Lastly, since this is for beginners that don't understand the subtleties of Thai pronunciation, it might be helpful to point out that in Thai language, you don't aspirate the final "stop consonant" sound such as the "dt" sound at the end of "youdt" in your example, so it sounds much closer to "you" that "youdt". Not trying to be a Thai language snob, just a suggestion on tweaking the content. Thanks again for your videos - great job!
Another suggestion is the use of the word jaawdt (จอช) instead of yoodt (หยุด). Yoodt applies more to telling someone to stop doing something … jaawdt refers to stopping or parking a vehicle.
Handling taxi drivers in Bangkok is the same here in Manila. In Bangkok, do they speak English? I mean not the fluent type, but do they understand simple English words?
Yellow and green are the only taxis that will take you these days. The others ask for 3x the rate and refuse to turn the meter on. Generally it's fair to say taxi drivers here are, to a very high proportion, assholes to foreigners and give the Thai service sector a terrible rep. Other countries in the region are way better when it comes to friendliness and mobility. I wonder why. Too much tourism maybe?
ATTENTION: The website thailand69ways is no longer being used.
We hope you enjoy your travels in Thailand.
Oh im sad. I just found you and your website and now you're gone 🥺
Absolutely one of the best vids I;ve ever seen about Thailand. I might be moving there.
Damn man, you made great videos. Thank you for all the info. Great stuff.

Great videos! Thanks.
That was short, and to the point. 👍
Comprehensive and super helpful. Thanks.
Please make more videos. You presentation is excellent and your information very informative. Thanks.
Very helpful video. Will a family of 4 fit in these? Any tips on using grab taxis?
Excellent.........thanks.
Your clip is very informative. Thank you
Most taxi I met didn't use their meter indicator. They rather negotiated the fare first before agree to go.
very helpful, but your website is down?
Some really good information. Unfortunately, Thailand 69 Ways appears to be out of business. Website is defunct. Too bad.
Well at least they left all their UA-cam videos behind so we still have all that information we can use to navigate our way through Thailand

While you're making a note of the taxi number, make a note of your belongings.

I always take grabcar in thailand. The metre taxi drivers are pain in the neck. They are very irritating.
