Thailand offers a VAT refund scheme for tourists, allowing you to easily claim back your tax.

If you have been told the baht bus costs 10 baht, your information is out of date. That price held for more than thirty years. Here is what you need to ride Pattaya's blue trucks without feeling like the target of a very slow con.

Every couple of weeks somebody asks us the same thing. Their wife is flying in, or the girlfriend wants a night out, or the sister and her kids are over from the States, and they want to know where they can get a cold beer without spending the evening pretending not to notice what's going on at the next table.

Your social media feeds are about to catch fire. Every expat group, every YouTube talking head and every guy at the end of the bar will be telling you Thailand is about to charge you 1,000 baht to leave. Some will tell you it starts next month. Some will tell you it's only for farang. Neither is true.
