Plan your holiday

What to bring with you - the weather in Thailand is mostly hot.

Lightweight cotton clothes are best in the humid climate. You can buy most things in Thailand and prices are lower than at home.

Passports and Visas
Thailand does try to make things easy for visitors. Most foreign passport holders are issued on arrival with a stamp granting a 30-day stay, without the need to apply for a visa in advance. If you plan to stay longer than 30 days then you will need to apply for a tourist visa before coming to Thailand.

Telephones
The country code for Thailand is +66. The internet is rapidly growing in popularity all over the country and internet cafes can be found nearly everywhere.
Mobile phones from home can be used. It's cheaper to buy a Thai SIM card here and use it for both local calls within Thailand and also for international calls.

Currency
The local currency in Thailand is the Thai Baht. All major currencies can be exchanged in most places. Visa and Mastercard holders can get cash advances from many banks, and ATMs accepting debit and credit cards are widely available. Click here to check the latest exchange rates for the Thai Baht.
Tipping is not normally expected, though naturally appreciated.
