Most travellers from the UK, EU, and Commonwealth countries can enter Thailand visa-free for up to 30 days if arriving by air. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. If staying longer or entering multiple times, check current visa regulations before departure.
Yes. Comprehensive travel and medical insurance is mandatory for all guests. Your policy should cover medical care, cancellations, and any activities included in the trip, such as trekking or snorkelling.
No specific vaccinations are required to enter Thailand, but it’s wise to be up to date on routine immunisations. We recommend packing mosquito repellent, sunscreen, and a small first-aid kit. Always drink bottled or filtered water.
Light, breathable clothing is ideal for Thailand’s tropical climate. Bring comfortable walking shoes, a hat, and modest attire that covers shoulders and knees for temple visits. Don’t forget swimwear, sunglasses, and a lightweight rain jacket during the green season (May–October). A travel adaptor for Type A/B/C plugs (220V) is also recommended.
Thailand uses the Thai Baht (THB). Cash is handy for local markets, small restaurants, and tipping. ATMs and exchange counters are widely available, and most hotels and large establishments accept major credit cards.
Thailand is known as the “Land of Smiles,” and politeness is highly valued. Dress modestly when visiting temples, remove your shoes before entering homes or religious sites, and avoid touching anyone’s head. A friendly “wai” greeting—hands pressed together with a slight bow—is a respectful way to say hello or thank you.
Yes. Free Wi-Fi is common in hotels, cafes, and restaurants. Local SIM cards with data plans are inexpensive and offer reliable coverage throughout the country.
