First Time in Bangkok? Avoid These Costly Tourist Traps | EP 1

I begin my 4th country international journey from Chennai Pachaiyappa Metro Station, walking all the way to Chennai International Airport – Terminal 2 ✈️.
This video captures the full Chennai to Bangkok travel experience, step by step — perfect for first-time international travellers and backpackers.

After completing security check and immigration, I board Thai Airways for a 3 hour 30 minute flight to Bangkok. The early-morning landing is special — you’ll see a beautiful visual of Bangkok’s highways glowing with ambient lights, almost like light strips during descent 🌃.

At Suvarnabhumi Airport, I take the driverless shuttle to immigration and baggage claim. Even with a long queue, the immigration process was smooth and hassle-free.
Once I collect my luggage, I head towards the BFL / Airport Rail Link, which is very affordable and a great travel hack for backpackers 💸.

The Airport Rail Link express train is a bit crowded but gets me to Makkasan in just 30 minutes. From there, I walk on the skywalk to catch the MRT, which is less crowded and fast. I board the MRT and get down at Sam Yot Station 🚇.

From Sam Yot, I walk around 2 kilometres to my hostel – Green Cabin. Along the way, I stop at a 7-Eleven convenience store, grab some snacks and ice cream 🍦, and finally check in.
That’s how this first chapter of my Thailand journey ends — simple, budget-friendly, and real.

If you enjoy budget travel, airport hacks, metro connectivity, and real travel experiences, this video is for you.
