Thailand

Traveling to Thailand? From travel tips and Thailand travel guides, get everything you need to know about visiting Thailand just below.

Currency: Thai Baht

Language: Thai

Visa: Depending on your home country, you may not need a visit to enter Thailand. For U.S. citizens, a visa is not required as long as you leave Thailand within 45-days. Be sure to check the latest visa requirements for your country, prior to arriving in Thailand.

Getting Around Thailand: From trains to buses and flying, Thailand is a well oiled machine when it comes to transportation. You can check the latest train and bus times via 12GoAsia.

Safety: Thailand is generally a safe country to visit. Just like popular tourist destinations theft and tourist scams are common things tourist encounter. If you are mindful of your belongings and are wary of “helpful strangers” offering you advice or tours, you should be just fine!

A great thing to always have with you is travel Insurance through World Nomads. Covering things like medical bills and theft, having travel insurance has definitely come in handy for us a time or two.

Essential Phrases: Even if you are not fluent in Thai, it’s always nice to know a few words of the local language.
