Thailand FAQ

Is Thailand safe?

Yes, Thailand is considered very safe, with friendly locals, well-traveled tourist areas, and plenty of accommodations and activities geared toward women traveling alone.

Do I need a Visa for Thailand?

Most travelers from the U.S., EU, Canada, and many other countries can enter visa-free for up to 30 days (air entry) or 15 days (land entry).

However, if you're a Digital Nomad, Freelancer or Remote Worker who planes to work from Thailand, you'll need a Destination Thailand Visa (DTH).

Is it easy to move around Thailand?

Yes! In Thailand you'll find a mix of tuk-tuks, taxis, buses, trains, ferries, and low-cost domestic flights.

For longer trips, trains and flights are usually faster, while tuk-tuks and local buses are great for short distances in cities.

What's the local currency?

Thailand uses the Thai Baht (THB). Cash is common in markets and small towns, while cards are widely accepted in cities, hotels, and larger restaurants.
