This is for you if:
✅ You’re planning your first or second Thailand trip.
✅ You’re overwhelmed by 47 browser tabs and conflicting advice.
✅ You want an easy to consume product, not a 1000-page guidebook.
✅ You’d rather click “Money & Budget” and get what you need than scroll for hours.
✅ You don’t want to “figure it out when you get there”.
✅ You know that Tim Travel Taste knows what he’s talking about.

🤬 This is not for you if:
❌ You don’t read what’s included before buying.
❌ You think you know everything better.
❌ You need me to justify 1000+ tips personally.
❌ You treat a digital product like a refund lottery.
❌ You’d rather spend 47 hours in a labyrinth of contradicting online posts than $5/month ($40/year) on a clear path.
❌ You spend $5,000-8000 on flights, hotels, food, tours and nightlife — but a membership to get access to 20 itineraries, 40+ maps, 50+ guides and 1000+ tips is “too expensive”.

⛔️ To be absolutely clear… please don’t sign up if:

You’re the type who skips the product description, ignores the table of contents, signs up anyway, then leaves a 1-star review because you didn’t need the visa guide.

I built this for overwhelmed beginners who want help. Not “experts” who want to complain.
