GOOD TO KNOW

Thailand Travel and Vacation – Good to know

Yes, a visa is required, unless you are coming from one of the visa-free countries. For longer stays, you must apply for a visa, which is available online or at the embassy. Upon entry, most travelers receive a 30-day visa or 15 days when entering by land. Pay attention to the validity of your passport, which should be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry.
The Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) in Bangkok is the best airport for international travel. It offers numerous connections to domestic destinations and is a good base for motorcycle trips. From there, you can quickly reach popular places like Chiang Mai or Phuket, where you can rent motorcycles. Alternatively, the Don Mueang Airport is a good option for budget airlines.
The local currency is the Baht (THB). Cash is accepted everywhere, and credit cards in most hotels and large stores. However, it is advisable to always have some cash on hand, especially in rural areas or for motorcycle gas stations. ATMs are widespread, but please note that there may be fees for international cards.
Vaccinations are not legally required, but are recommended against hepatitis A, typhoid, and tetanus. A travel insurance is also advisable to cover medical costs or damages to the rental vehicle. Check whether the insurance covers motorcycle rides, as this is not always the case. Find out in advance about health facilities near your travel route.
To drive in Thailand, you need an international driver's license along with your national driver's license. This is important for the car rental company and during traffic stops. Also, familiarize yourself with traffic regulations, as they may differ from European standards. Make sure to always carry a valid driver's license to avoid issues.
In Thailand, SIM cards can be purchased at the airport or in stores like 7-Eleven. You only need your passport. Providers like AIS, TrueMove, or DTAC offer affordable data packages for travelers. Make sure that the SIM card fits your device and works well in the region where you are traveling.
