Know Before You Travel

The Kingdom of Thailand, previously known as Siam, which has a deserved reputation as one of the easiest places to travel in Asia. It’s easy to travel, safe, fairly inexpensive.Here are our top tips for making the most of your trip.

About Visa:

Most Western countries get a stamp in their passports upon arrival that permits them to stay up to 30 days.
You do need a passport that is valid for at least another 6 months upon entry into Thailand though.
About Weather：

Thailand has 3 seasons: hot (March to May), cool (November to February) and wet (May to October). But the weather also differs depending on the part of the country you’re currently in.
The more north you go, the cooler it gets. In the northernmost regions of Thailand it even gets cold at night.
About Currency：

Thai Baht is a pretty stable currency. Very easy to learn and use. And you kind of have to learn it, because it’s still better to use cash here. A lot of places don’t accept international credit/debit cards. And even if they do, you might be charged 3% of transaction fee.
Luckily ATMs can be found almost everywhere, but most banks charge 220 baht commission for every withdrawal, no matter the amount. So if you’re withdrawing money, make it a larger amount.
About Language：

Since Thailand is a touristy country, English is widely spoken. Well, I call it Thai-English, because sometimes it’s really hard to understand what Thai people mean. There are a few useful phrases that you can learn easily：
Hello = sa-wat-dee ka (female) | sa-wat-dee kap (male)
Thank you: kop-koon ka (female) | kop-koon kap (male)
Delicious: a-roy
how much：tao-lai-ka

Health risks: stomach bugs, mosquito bites and rabies

The most common trouble travelers face in Thailand is trip-spoiling stomach bugs. Never drink tap water, wash your hands before eating, stick to busy eating establishments and be cautious of ice, unwashed or unpeeled fruit and uncooked vegetables. If you become unwell, seek out private hospitals in larger cities rather than public hospitals.
Mosquito bites can easily become infected in Thailand’s tropical climate. Bring mosquito repellent, and use mosquito nets (or bring your own). Rabies is another risk – always seek medical attention if you are bitten by a dog, cat or monkey.
Prices may well be inflated for tourists：

In general, Thailand is hassle-free, but tourists are often charged inflated prices for tuk-tuks and unmetered taxi rides.Major tourist sites are popular stalking grounds for cab drivers and touts who will try to steer you towards dubious souvenir shops, fake "tourist offices" and second-rate places to stay, where you’ll inevitably pay more to cover their commission.Book with us and let our expertise handle all the details.You won't have any trouble with this.
