Visa Requirements: For most countries, a 30-day visa exemption is granted upon arrival at Thai airports. If staying longer or visiting multiple times, check the Thai Embassy website for visa requirements.

Transportation: Taxis and the BTS Skytrain are convenient ways to get around Bangkok. Consider purchasing a Rabbit card for the BTS to save on fares. For travel outside of Bangkok, consider booking day tours or using local transportation like minivans or trains.

Other Tips: Remember to respect Thai culture and customs, such as dressing modestly when visiting temples. Always carry water and sunscreen, and watch out for scams, especially in heavily touristy areas. Enjoy your trip!
