About

My name is Cal. I’ve been living in Bangkok, Thailand since 2015. This channel provides clear, practical information for travelers and expats β€” 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.
