Hi all I’ve recently moved from opal to credit card to tap on and tap off for my daily commutes. I’ve also now have the park n ride feature at my station, has anyone has any issues with trying to get… more

Yeah, that's weird. Have you checked your Opal account online to see the exact charges and transaction history? Sometimes there's a lag, but $30 seems excessive. Contact Opal directly; their customer service might be able to sort out the discrepancy. The park and ride system can be a bit finicky sometimes.

Honestly, your friend's experience is a pretty common fear. Look, @Bangkok street food is incredible, but yeah, risk is real. My advice? Go for places that are packed with locals. If there's a long queue, chances are the food's good and turning over quickly – less chance of anything sitting around getting dodgy. Also, look for stalls with lots of visible activity – sizzling woks, busy cooks... that kind of thing. Avoid anything that looks suspiciously still or has food sitting out for ages. And stick to stuff that's freshly cooked. If it's been sitting under a heat lamp for hours, hard pass. Finally, maybe err on the side of caution with raw things or anything that’s been sitting in standing water. Have a few Imodium tablets handy, just in case. Better safe than sorry, especially on a holiday!
