If you love to see Thai culture, temples are the best place to explore. Walk away from Wat Pho or Wat Arun and visit Wat Mahathat, Wat Ta Mai, or Wat Rakang instead.

What will you find in this guide?
Visa and entry
Even though most countries don’t require a visa for Thailand for short stays, it isn’t always the case. Find out whether you need a visa or not based on your stay.
Moving around
From the locals' tuk-tuks to scenic view trains while on train, it’s important that you know how to move around Thailand like a local, especially if you plan island hopping. Local rules
Thailand requires you to always carry an ID. But that’s not the only rule to comply with. Find out how to explore Thailand without breaking a single cultural or religious rule. Best itinerary
A 15-day trip is enough to explore Thailand from top to bottom. Discover the best way to do it with a hand-picked itinerary and the routes to follow. Best activities
Thailand has countless temples, rooftop bars, and cruises to enjoy, but we give you extra info on where to start and when to visit them.
Beaches and islands
Beaches and islands capture every traveler’s heart, but it’s best to know which ones suit your travel style, rather than aimlessly island hopping.
