Our best tips for planning your trip 🗺️
- Transport Tuk-tuks and taxis are everywhere and affordable, but meters are not always used, so feel free to negotiate. Trains and buses are perfect for long-distance travel, and domestic flights are a great option to save time.
- Language Thai is the official language, but in tourist areas, many understand English. A few words like "Sawadee" (hello) and "Khop Khun" (thank you) might be handy.
- Climate Hot season from March to May, rainy season from June to October, and cool season from November to February. Prepare your clothes accordingly.
- Currency The currency is the baht. Credit cards are widely accepted, but it's good to have cash for small transactions.
- Dress Code In temples and religious sites, modesty is required: cover shoulders and knees. Outside these places, casual attire is often enough.
- Cuisine Expect an incredible range of delicious dishes to savor—from the famed pad thai to savory green curries, along with grilled insects for the more adventurous.
- Safety Generally safe, but always be cautious of scams and pickpockets, especially in areas heavily frequented by tourists.
- Lightweight and comfortable clothing suitable for tropical climate
- High-protection sunscreen and sunglasses
- Hat or cap to shield from the sun
- Insect repellent and mosquito net
