My name is Cal.

I’ve been living in Bangkok, Thailand since 2015.

This channel provides clear, practical information for travelers and expats — covering topics like scams, safety, transportation, costs of living, entry rules, real time news, and everyday life in Thailand.

The goal is simple: help you avoid common mistakes and understand what it’s really like to travel, live, or spend extended time in Thailand.

If you have questions or want a specific topic covered, feel free to leave a comment.

If you have any questions about visiting or living in Thailand, feel free to leave it here for my monthly Q&A.

I get lot of questions and messages, and unfortunately I simply can't answer them all as it would quite literally take up my whole day.

So please ask here and I will add it to the next Q&A.

Hope everyone is having a great start to the week!

My most recent Q&A video was removed by Youtube, and I've had a few questions about it...

So in case you're wondering, here's why.

In the video, I discuss the Thailand Digital Arrival Card, and I showed a screen recording of a sped up walk-through of the process.

Apparently Youtube's AI content moderation didn't like that I added a random name (John Smith) and feels that I am doxxing my invented example.

It's currently under review from an appeal and should be back up in a day or so.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Got a question about visiting or living in Thailand? Add it here for my monthly Q&A!

I receive a lot of emails and messages, and as much as I’d love to reply to each one, it’s just not possible. By posting your question here, we can share the answers with a wider community and help out more people at the same time.

Wishing you all a great weekend!

The leaders of Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an immediate and unconditional ceasefire to end the border conflict after talks in Malaysia. This is very positive news.

It's been a difficult week here in Thailand with the border conflict and I've been receiving a lot of questions.

I'll do a Q&A update this week. If you have any questions, feel free to post them here.

Stay safe and have a nice day.

My channel hit a milestone of 40,000 subscribers today.

I started this channel a year and a half ago with a goal of sharing honest and accurate information about Thailand for travelers and prospective expats.

It's very rewarding every time I read a comment or encounter somebody who has found the channel helpful.

Thank you for your support and let me know if there are any topics that you would like me to cover.
