🧡 A Few Stories from the Field
Real moments. Real people. Real help.
Every day, we get calls from travelers and expats facing unexpected hiccups — big or small. From lost paperwork and confusing rules to finding meaningful local experiences, we’re here to help bridge the gap.
These are just a few real stories that remind us why Hello Thai Buddy exists: to make life in Thailand smoother, kinder, and more human.
🎯 Jet Ski Trouble in Samui
Just last week, I helped Felix, a traveler from Germany, who got caught in a tricky jet ski rental situation in Samui. It was his first time in Thailand — excited, but overwhelmed. With just one call, we cleared things up, translated the paperwork, and made sure he left with more smiles than stress.
🍰 Finding a Real Thai Dessert Class
A few days later, Yuki, a Japanese retiree, reached out. She was looking for a real Thai dessert-making class — not a touristy workshop, but something local and heartfelt. We found her a kind aunty in Chiang Mai who teaches mango sticky rice and coconut pudding from scratch. They’ve been cooking together ever since.
📱 SIM Cards & Settling In
Just this morning, Adam, a remote worker from Canada, needed help getting a Thai SIM card and setting up a bank account. He had no clue where to start. I walked him through the process and booked his appointments.
....... He now calls Bangkok “easy mode.”
