Frequently asked questions

Thailand is one of the most popular destinations for solo travellers and is generally easy to navigate. Travelling with a group tour also means you'll have a travel crew around you and support throughout your trip.

Absolutely! Thailand is a brilliant introduction to backpacking, with great transport links, affordable accommodation, incredible food, beautiful beaches and a huge backpacker community.

Thailand is generally considered a budget-friendly destination, especially compared with many Western countries. You can eat delicious local food, stay in affordable accommodation and enjoy plenty of activities without spending a fortune.

Thailand can be very affordable, particularly for food, local transport and activities. Your budget will depend on your activities and travel style.

Thailand is a year-round destination, but the best time depends on the region you're visiting.

I'd recommend a minimum of 9โ€“12 days to experience a good mix of Bangkok, temples, jungle, islands, beaches and nightlife. Longer trips allow you to explore more of Thailand without rushing.

Yes. We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering medical treatment, activities, cancellations, baggage and other unexpected travel costs.

Thailand uses the Thai Baht (THB). Cash is still useful for markets, street food and smaller local businesses, although cards are widely accepted in tourist areas.

Don't leave without trying Pad Thai, green curry, Massaman curry, mango sticky rice, Tom Yum, Thai iced tea and plenty of local street food.

Dress respectfully by covering your shoulders and knees. Some temples may require you to remove your shoes before entering certain areas.

It's generally recommended that visitors drink bottled or properly filtered water rather than tap water.

Vaccination requirements and recommendations vary depending on your circumstances and where you're travelling from. Check current advice from an official health service before travelling.
