Before You Fly

Thailand Trip Essentials

The practical stuff most guides skip. Get these sorted before you land.

Connectivity
Thai SIM Card

Get a Thai SIM or eSIM at the airport. AIS (best coverage), TrueMove H, or DTAC offer tourist packages: ฿299 for 15GB/8 days, ฿599 for unlimited/30 days. eSIM available if your phone supports it — buy before you land.

Available at Suvarnabhumi arrivals
Protection
Travel Insurance

Non-negotiable. Thai private hospitals are world-class but expensive without coverage. A basic ER visit can cost ฿10,000-50,000+. Make sure your policy covers motorbike accidents — most standard policies exclude them.

SafetyWing from $42/month
Money
Currency & Cards

Thai Baht (THB) only. ATMs charge ฿220 per withdrawal — use a Wise or Revolut card to avoid fees. Most restaurants and 7-Elevens accept cards. Street food and markets are cash only. Exchange at SuperRich for the best rates.

1 USD ≈ 31.5 THB (Feb 2026)
Entry
Visa & Arrival

93 countries get 60 days visa-free (under review — may revert to 30). TDAC (digital arrival card) is mandatory — submit online within 72 hours of your flight. Immigration queues can hit 90+ minutes.
