Are you eager to travel to Thailand? Here are some helpful tips to make sure you have a safe and enjoyable stay. 

Visa Requirements 

Citizens of the United States, the United Kingdom and 40 other countries who want to visit Thailand don’t need to have a visa if they go for tourism purposes and don’t exceed a stay of 30 days. However, they must have a passport valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry into Thailand. 

Pick a Good Place to Stay 

The good news is that accommodations are actually very cheap in Thailand and there are a lot of places to choose from. Hotels normally charge rates starting at $40 per night while some guest houses offer as little as $7 a night. This gets even cheaper when you move out of the cities and into the countryside where accommodations can go as low as $4 a night. In higher end resorts expect to pay at least $17 per night for a nice room with air-conditioning. The really exclusive resorts charge at least $50 per night. 

Enjoy the Local Food 

Thai food is famous throughout the world for its certain flavor. Its street food, however, is on a level of its own. You can find food stalls and sidewalk restaurants in Bangkok and all the major cities so you really don’t have to look far to find local food. Be adventurous when it comes to sampling what the locals have to offer. Did we mention the food is also cheap? You can have a good meal for under $1. 

Check Out the Night Bazaars 

Thailand has a vibrant nightlife and in many areas in the country when the sun goes down the markets come to life. Browse the stalls for wooden handicrafts, silk shirts and novelty items. Keep looking, you’re sure to find something you want. 

Other Useful Tips 

• Thais are mostly Buddhists and they believe a person’s spirit resides in the head; don’t touch the head of any person for any reason, even if you mean it as a joke.
• Many bars in Thailand have happy hours; ask around about the best to visit.
• You will find giant portraits of King Bhumibol Adulyadej all over the country. You can have your picture taken with them, but do not treat these images with any disrespect.
• Taxi drivers are mandated by law to use meters, but many of them will tell you these are broken and will often try to haggle for an exorbitant fixed fare. If you can’t get your way you can always go for a ride on the tuktuk (tricycle). 

Enjoy Your Stay in Thailand! 

As with traveling to any foreign country, all precautions must be taken. An alert and prepared traveler is a happy traveler. Always be ready with extra clothes in case you decide to extend your stay a day or two, always bring medication just in case your stomach doesn’t agree with the local cuisine and never make yourself an easy target for tourist scams.
