What to Pack
Bring light, airy clothes; preferably cotton, as Thailand can get unbearably hot. If you’re planning a trip up to Chiang Mai in the north, carry a light sweater or jacket, as it can sometimes get quite chilly in the evenings.
Thailand, and especially larger cities like Bangkok or Chiang Mai have shops selling almost anything you could need- including western medicines, cosmetics, etc, but if you use something hard to find, bring it along with you. And if you’re planning to go off the beaten track, carry along everything you might need- whether you’ll be able to get hold of it in some out-of-the-way village or not, is always a tricky question to answer.

Travel Documents
Passport holders of a number of countries- including most of Western Europe, Australasia, North America, West Asia, South East Asia and some countries in Africa- can stay up to 30 days in Thailand without having to apply for a visa, if they’ve come as tourists. If you’re not sure whether you need a visa or not, apply to the local Thai mission in your country (or if there isn’t one, in a neighbouring country); they’ll let you know, and issue one if it’s needed.
Visitors to Thailand can also get visas on arrival at the international airports at Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Hat Yai and Phuket. If, later, you need an extension of your visa, apply to the Immigration Office.
