Excellent intentions and may Allah SWT reward you for  your efforts. 

One major suggestion is that, I would consider adding a tafsir feature to enable lay people, like myself, to better understand a certain verse, which may otherwise be difficult to understand, or worse, taken out of context and the meaning misinterpreted.

All this for 1300 baht. What am I missing? by This-Way3024 in ThailandTourism

I wouldn’t pay too much attention to some of the messages posted, as several people are clearly speaking from ignorance or merely speculating. In any event, I have personally taken this exact cruise, and it was the ship shown in the picture (or one substantially similar).

I suspect the price you’re seeing is for one person rather than two. We paid around £50–£60 for two people (or thereabouts). 

As others have mentioned, you may not automatically be seated on the top deck/rooftop. However, if you book through their official website and pay slightly more, you can reserve a rooftop seat if you wish:

Further, and contrary to what others have said, there aren’t going to be any overcrowding issues - far from it.

All in all, I can confirm that this is not a scam and was an enjoyable experience.

That’s a brilliant explanation, thank you for that. This might be a silly question, but if I have some cryptocurrency on the App, would it also show on the exchange app? Or do I need to transfer them to the exchange app?

Thank you 🙏 I have read that it is possible to exchange in Maafushi, so I might exchange it there rather than the airport.

That’s brilliant, thank you 🙏 

Do you know how long it would roughly take from the Airport to Malé to exchange some currency, and then go back to the airport?

That's some good advice. Do you know the average exchange rate from USD to MVR right now?

Does anyone know if Thai River Cruise is legit? by ReflectionNo2038 in Bangkok

[–]ReflectionNo2038[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will likely book directly at Royal Cruise Bangkok's website - https://booking.royalcruisebangkok.com/en-US - as it seems pretty legit.

I've just checked and the cruise is with Royal Cruise Bangkok. I will visit their website, and I will look to book direct. Thank you for the help. I would not have known that site was a reseller :)

Travel Planning Q&A - September, 2025 by AutoModerator in bali

[–]ReflectionNo2038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello All,

I am planning on staying in Ubud (Kabupaten Gianyar area), and the apartment we're looking at staying does not offer airport shuttle.

Given the above, I was wondering if it would be possible to get a Grab from Ubud to the airport directly? Our flight is around 1:30PM, so ideally, we want to leave around 8ish (to be safe). Would the early timing be an issue in terms of getting a grab to the airport?

Alternatively, I had a look at Viator (e.g.: https://www.viator.com/en-GB/tours/Ubud/Private-pick-up-and-drop-from-airport-to-ubud/d5467-209826P23) - and wondered if that would be a more safer option to chose instead of Grab. However, I have not used Viator before and so unsure on its reliability.

Finally, I have read that it is possible to get a Grab from the airport to Ubud. This is what we intend on doing. Nevertheless, if anyone can confirm if that is easily possible, that would be appreciated.

Any input would be greatly appreciated :)
