Thailand
-
Language: The official language in Thailand is Thai.
-
Currency: The currency of Thailand is the Thai Baht.
-
Credit Cards and ATMs: In Thailand’s main cities like Bangkok and Phuket, you won’t have a problem finding ATMs and most businesses will accept credit cards as a form of payment. However, if you’re planning to go shopping at the local markets, you’ll need cash to pay for your purchases.
-
Plugs: The plugs in Thailand are types A, B, and C. The standard voltage is 230 V, and the standard frequency is 60Hz. I recommend buying a universal adapter (make sure it has surge protection) and using a converter for hairdryers and hot tools.
-
Check the weather: Thailand has two distinct seasons, monsoon season and the dry season. Monsoon season is between May and October. The dry season is from November to April. Consider your trip cost and activities accordingly.
-
Don't drink the tap water: Thailand’s tap water is not safe to drink, instead, pack a reusable water bottle and fill up at your hotel or the water dispensers in the street. It’s also a good idea to avoid eating fruits and vegetables that have been washed with tap water.
-
Buy a SIM card: While it’s easy to find Wi-Fi at most bars, restaurants, shops, and hotels in Thailand, it’s still a good idea to buy a local sim card once you arrive. You can get a tourist package for 40 days that comes with 3 or 6 GB for between $15 – $25! It’s a small price to pay to make sure that you’re always connected.
