Frequently asked questions

Everything travellers usually ask before a trip to Thailand. Can't find your answer? We're a message away.

When is the best time to visit Thailand?

The cool, dry season from November to February offers the most comfortable weather and best beach conditions, making it the peak time to visit. March and April are hot, while May to October brings the rainy season with lower prices and lush scenery.

Do I need a visa to visit Thailand?

Many nationalities can enter Thailand visa-free, commonly for up to 60 days and often extendable, while others use an e-visa or visa on arrival. All arrivals must complete the online Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC). Entry rules were under government review in 2026, so confirm the current policy for your nationality before you travel.

How many days do I need in Thailand?

About 10-14 days lets you combine Bangkok, the northern city of Chiang Mai and a southern beach or island. One week is enough for Bangkok plus a single region.

Is Thailand safe for travelers?

Thailand is generally safe and very used to tourism, with friendly locals and good infrastructure. Use standard caution against petty theft, scams and road-traffic risks, especially on rented motorbikes.

What should I pack and wear?

Bring light, breathable clothing, sun protection and rain gear in the wet season. Pack modest attire covering shoulders and knees for temples, where you will also remove your shoes.

What is the signature Thailand experience?

Exploring Bangkok's Grand Palace and glittering temples, then unwinding on a southern island beach, captures Thailand's blend of culture and coast. A visit during a festival like Songkran or Loi Krathong is especially memorable.

What food should I try in Thailand?

Try pad thai, green and massaman curries, tom yum soup, som tam papaya salad and mango sticky rice. Street markets and cooking classes are great ways to explore the cuisine.

Is Thailand good for groups and events?

Yes; Bangkok and Phuket in particular have extensive hotels, venues and convention facilities, making Thailand a well-established destination for group tours, incentives and MICE events. Easy domestic connections keep multi-city programs efficient.
