German citizens usually do not need a visa for stays up to 30 days. For longer stays, a visa must be applied for. This can be done online or through the Thai embassy. A Visa-on-Arrival option is also available, but not for all nationalities. It is advisable to check the latest regulations before traveling.
Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) in Bangkok is the largest and best-connected airport for international flights. Another useful airport is Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX) for northern Thailand. Both airports offer easy connections to popular off-road travel areas, and international flights are numerous. Plan this into your travel itinerary.
The Thai Baht (THB) is the official currency. Credit and debit cards are accepted in many cities, but not everywhere, especially in rural areas. For off-road adventures, it is advisable to always have some cash with you. ATMs are common, but fees may apply. Look for ATMs without additional charges.
Vaccinations such as Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Typhoid, and Tetanus are recommended. A travel insurance that covers off-road adventures is also important to be protected in the event of injuries or theft. Check the details of your insurance policy to ensure you are well protected abroad.
To drive a car or motorcycle in Thailand, you need an international driver's license that is valid for the duration of your stay. SIM cards are easy to obtain; providers like DTAC or AIS have sales points at the airport and in stores. An affordable prepaid card offers internet and local calls, ideal for off-road travel.
