Good to Know:

Most European citizens do not need a visa to stay in Thailand if you stay for less than 30 days, since you automatically receive a 30 day tourist visa on arrival. For travel to Thailand, you must have a valid travel document in the form of a passport, and the period of validity must be at least 6 months. Travelling from Europe, there are no requirements for vaccinations for entry into Thailand. Make sure you also have valid and good travel insurance.

Keep in mind that smoking is not permitted in many public places and in many hotels – designated areas for smoking are sometimes available. It is also forbidden to import or use electronic cigarettes in Thailand.

In order to preserve Thailand’s nature and beaches, Thai authorities have removed commercial activities on the beaches. This means that certain activities are no longer permitted on the beaches, such as beach cafés and rental of sun loungers and parasols.

Please note that it is common for the hotel to charge a deposit for the minibar when checking in.

At some accommodation children usually share a bed with their parents, i.e you might have to share an existing bed or beds in the room/apartment.
