A very interesting take on the changing role of the Royal Thai Police.
It's refreshing to see the RTP be so open for a video like this. Historically, they're a very insular group and difficult to chat with about their rok and their role. Definitely worth a watch if you have a worrying idea of the RTP.

Meet Yoyo, a policeman and tour guide who's from Bangkok, Thailand. In this episode we find out the truths about what it's really like to be a police officer...

It's not a destination for everyone, but Pattaya truly is the town that never stops surprising us! 😅

We’ve seen some "creative" branding in our time, but the latest shop to pop up has us doing a serious double-take. Move over, high street classics—say hello to Greggz! 🥐✨

It’s a blatant, brilliant, and very amusing spin on the UK’s favorite quick-snack king. Sure, the color scheme is a tiny bit "off-brand," but there’s no mistaking what they’re going for here. At Trunk Travel, we’re calling it "celebrate, not imitate"—because you know you’ve truly made it when you get the Pattaya parody treatment!

For all our UK followers who were worried about missing out on their daily sausage roll fix while on a trip to Thailand... you can fear no more! Whether it’s a steak bake or a cheeky bit of pastry, it looks like a little piece of home has followed you to the Gulf of Thailand. 🇬🇧🤝🇹🇭

We can't promise it tastes exactly like the ones back in Newcastle, but for the "gram" alone, it's worth a visit.

In times of uncertainty, travel can feel a bit overwhelming, and we know many of you are currently looking at the situation in the Middle East with some concern regarding your upcoming trips to Thailand and Southeast Asia. 🌏✈️

For those scheduled to fly through affected regions or major hubs, our best advice is to be proactive. Reach out to your airline or the travel agency you booked with as soon as possible. We know it’s frustrating—these hubs handle tens of thousands of passengers daily and are currently navigating a massive logistical nightmare. While it feels like a waiting game, these things do always find a way toward a solution.

The best course of action right now? Patience. It’s not easy, but staying calm and having a clear plan—hoping for the best but planning for the worst—is the most effective way to manage the stress.

At Trunk Travel, we’ve felt the impact too. We’ve seen many of our travelers have to postpone their dreams of Thailand, and we want you to know we are incredibly empathetic to the situation. Our team is working around the clock to navigate this ever-changing landscape, supporting our guests and working with our partners to ensure that whenever you do arrive, the land of smiles is ready for you. 🙏✨

We’re in this together, and we’ll be here to support you every step of the way.

Thai locals and experts who care about the heart of your journey, providing a personal, white-glove service that a computer just can't replicate.
