Thailand - General Information
Is Thailand a difficult country to travel around?
Not at all. Thailand is a very safe country, accommodation and food are cheap, transport between destinations in Thailand is easy and many people speak at least some English.
What is the typical weather in Thailand?
Hot, all day all the year.
Hottest months are April .- June, November thru March are cooler. The cool season is more pronounced in northern Thailand, whereas the weather in the South can be changeable almost all year round.
The rainy season is from July to October, but travel during this period is still fine and can even add to the experience of the trip by providing a welcome break in the heat (especially in the North).
What do you eat in Thailand?
Thai food is one of the highlights of visiting Thailand for many people. Restaurants are everywhere, and average meal prices in Thai restaurants are around 30-40 baht up to 80-150 baht in the more touristy places.
For the less adventurous, there is an extensive range of international food available with numerous McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Israeli restaurants, Chabad houses, etc. ...
What is the quality and availability of medicine and health care in Thailand?
Medical treatment is quite good in the main cities (Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Phuket etc).
Pharmacies are widespread, but take care when using them. Many drugs that require a prescription elsewhere in the world can be provided here over the counter, and they aren't necessarily kept in the best condition - check the expiry date and try to buy from air conditioned pharmacies (the medicine is better maintained in a cool place).
What are the basic do's and don'ts?
- Do not underestimate the King or Royal Family. This can get you in serious trouble.
- Dress appropriately when visiting temples.
- Before heading to the Thai temple, a house or a shop you should take off your shoes.
- Negotiate in good taste and not just annoy them if you do not intend to buy.
- Drugs in Thailand is strictly prohibited! You really do not want to see the inside of a Thai prison ..
- Riding a motorcycle without a helmet - safety and the Thai police.
- Don’t make fun of Lady Boys', they can suddenly become men and it will hurt you ..
What happens in case of overstay in the country?
If there is an exception of one day, chances are that you will not be charged.
For more than 1 day overstay the fine is 500 baht per day, two days = a fine of 1,000 baht, 3 days = 1500 baht etc ...
The fine is up to a maximum of 30,000 B (about U.S. $ 1000).
What time of year is best to go?
It really depends on your personal preference , all parts of the year have relative advantages and disadvantages but one can visit and travel in Thailand all through the year! The climate is best between November and March because at this time it is not as hot as the rest of the year. April, May and June can be very hot. July till October is the rainy season, but September and October are much rainier than July and August. There are significant variations in the weather in different parts of Thailand. November to March is high tourist season meaning that the flights and accommodation are more expensive. Popular places are likely to be fully booked. Peak period are: Christmas, New Year and Thai New Year (mid of April). |
