Trying to See the Whole Country:

One prevalent mistake is attempting to explore the entirety of Thailand in a single trip. Given the country's size and diverse attractions, this often results in rushed and exhausting travel experiences. We recommend spending more time in each location to truly immerse yourself in Thai culture, build meaningful connections, and avoid unnecessary fatigue.

Only Making Foreign Friends:

While it's natural to connect with fellow travelers, forming bonds with local people is equally essential. Engage with locals working in hotels, restaurants, or nearby shops. Building relationships with the local community enhances your cultural understanding and sets the stage for a more enriching return trip.

Only Staying at Your Resort:

While resort relaxation is tempting, limiting yourself to the resort deprives you of authentic experiences. Venture beyond the comfort zone to explore local restaurants, markets, and unique attractions. Whether it's trying local cuisine or navigating a small island on a motorbike, embracing the surroundings enhances the overall travel experience.

Not Learning a Few Words of Thai:

Learning basic Thai phrases, such as greetings and numbers, demonstrates respect and significantly improves interactions. Simple language efforts go a long way in fostering positive connections with locals. Consider online resources or short courses to grasp the basics before your trip.

Not Being Respectful:

Respect is fundamental in Thai culture, and being mindful of local customs is crucial. Avoid actions that may cause loss of face, and be considerate of cultural nuances. Small gestures, such as allowing others to go ahead in queues, contribute to a positive and respectful travel experience.

Dating in Tourist Spots:

If you're considering romantic connections, avoid crowded tourist spots for meaningful relationships. Utilize dating apps, engage in conversations about work and free time, and respect the busy schedules of potential partners. Quality connections built patiently often surpass easy, shallow options.

To maximize your time in Thailand, consider hiring a local city guide. These guides, well-versed in secret spots and unique experiences, can tailor your adventure to go beyond the typical tourist trail. Contact us to find a guide and start your Thai journey!

"Thai Kru helped make a complicated process much more easy and smooth than it would have been had I done it alone."

Minh Nguyen

"The team at Baan smile were so professional the customer service was excellent. I first called to get help with extending my tourist visa. They were so honest on the phone they advised me if I wanted I could do extension myself and would only be 1,900 baht. I appreciated the honesty and advised that I prefer a company that has experience and would relieve my headache trying to figure on my own. The team took over and completed all necessary paperwork and got all my information from me that was needed. They scheduled a day to meet at Immigration and I was met by them. They walked me through process and it was so simple. I am happy to have met the team at BAAN SMILE. I will be calling them for all my needs and services in Thailand."

"I contacted this company thinking they could help me arrange a border run, but that's not part of their business. Still, they talked to me for ten minutes and kindly answered all of my questions. I was very impressed by their customer service even though I wasn't even a customer."
