Tailor-made tours in Thailand

Often referred to as the "Land of Smiles", Thailand is a country rich in natural beauty, history and culture, with many idyllic beaches and fascinating national parks.

Thailand is an extraordinary tourist destination and one of the most visited countries in Asia. At first glance, the capital, Bangkok seems like an extremely modern Asian city, but there is a very traditional side to it, with historical sites such as the famous Grand Palace and Wat Arun. The country is well equipped for visitors with a wide range of accommodations and easy transportation. There are many possibilities for trekking, as well as a fantastic selection of water sports. Between lying on the sand and marveling at the ruins of Sukhothai, it would be difficult not to enjoy a trip to this captivating and multifaceted country.

Known for its culinary specialties, its dream beaches and its hectic nightlife, Thailand also has so much to offer to those looking for culture and traditions.

Your passport must be valid for more than 6 months beyond your date of arrival in the country. The cost and delay period for visas depend on your nationality. There are mainly two types of visa for traveling:

- Less than 30 days: for most countries and G7 nationals, the visa is not mandatory, all you need is a return ticket.

- More than 30 days: You must follow the procedure online on the website "thaievisa.go.th", take required documents to the consulate to get a stamped visa.

The climate varies a little but temperatures are relatively high all the year. Here are some things you may want to consider packing:

- Sneakers or other comfortable close-toed shoes
- Socks to protect your feet from the hot ground when visiting temples
- Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat
- Mosquito repellent (for skin and for clothes)
- Swimwear
- A reusable water bottle (to limit the purchase of single-use plastic bottles)
- A flashlight
- An old cell phone to put a local SIM card and keep you connected
- A small first aid kit and your prescriptions

Thailand is a relatively safe country. However, as in any country, you have to be careful and trust your instincts. Thieves are often present in crowded, touristy places. To avoid problems, keep an eye on your belongings and use the safe in your hotel room for valuable items.

A

The Thailand Baht is the only official currency of the country. February, 2021, 1 USD = 29.93 THB.

You can change your cash (Euros or Dollars) at the exchange offices, banks and hotels without any problem. We recommend using cash and withdrawals via ATMs, to avoid the risk of fraud and to limit bank fees.

It is very easy to get around Thailand whether in town or from one city to another. All types of transport tuk tuk, train, bus ... are inexpensive. If you take a tuk tuk in Bangkok, it will be necessary to appeal to your negotiation skills. Agree with your driver on the cost of the ride before leaving. If you want to take the bus, good luck but have fun! Local buses are often crowded and noisy, but it is fun to experiment with them.

Of the 60 languages counted in Thailand, Thai is the most widely spoken with more than 20 million speakers.

Here are a few tidbits that may help you along the way as you visit this wonderful country:

In the event of a conflict, take care not to cause anyone "to lose face" as they may react very badly or possibly even become violent.

It is considered rude to point fingers at people or touch someone on the head.

Respect for Buddha is taken very seriously- please do not turn your back on Buddha and do not take selfies at the temple.

Being a country with a conservative trend, especially in the style of clothes, wear appropriate outfits especially in religious places. Note that you often have to remove your shoes before entering places of worship.

Finally, the King and the royal family are not just political but a national symbol, so any disrespect or derogatory remarks towards them will be badly perceived.
