r/ThailandTourism

If you are researching about fake TDAC websites on Google you can see this high ranking page on their website, which is very misleading. They insinuate that their website is an official option for submitting the arrival forms in Thailand and that is not true.

Why is the Thai government allowing this misinformation on .th website domains?

I’m fairly certain that Immigration police already warned tourists not to use any websites for submitting the TDAC besides the official government website?

Should we cancel our trip to Chiang Mai next week, April 14th - 20th? We are dumb and did not realize prior to booking it was burning season lol! Should we be going to another place?

As the title says, wondering how feasible it would be to do an early morning private boat tour perhaps 4 hours or so in phi phi and have enough time to take the ferry back and catch an evening flight at around 8PM in phucket to go back to Bangkok? I would spend the night prior to the tour and my departure in phi phi, thanks!

Hey Folks,

So heard some say you need to have 20k baht physically on your person when arriving by air, has anyone actually been asked to show / produce this?

I wasn't asked the last time two times I landed in 2024/2025 but believe things are tightening up this year?

I ask because the EUR > BAHT exchange rates in my country are abysmal anywhere I look, It's so much cheaper to to it over there. Would it suffice to show the Thai Baht amount in my Revolut on arrival if questioned?

I'm entering on a tourist Visa and and all within alowwed limits so shouldn't be any questions

Hi! It seems to be extremely hot all over Thailand. Bangkok is unbearable.

But for those of you in the island areas (Trat, Krabi), how are you dealing with this heat? Does the sea help to cool things down? Or is the water warm too? Can you stay in the shade on the beach, or are you constantly looking for air conditioning?

Please share how you manage so the heat doesn’t ruin your vacation.

We’re heading there in a few days. Can’t wait!

If you have any experience with renting property in Thailand or even communicating with any realtors, you start to realize that most of the listings are just for generating leads. That specific unit might not be available, images might not be accurate, even prices might be lower, to attract you to it. It's not like America where most of what you see is what it is. However the more i communicate with realtors I notice this pattern where they'll tell you the listed unit is available at a specific price that looks appealing, then in no time they'll tell you its no longer available. Then they'll show you a downgraded unit at that specific price you're looking for, or they'll show you a similar style and size unit, but at a higher price. I could be wrong, however you gotta be very cautious in a country where people are very nice and are not confrontational. It's a touristy country, so you're often getting played so they can take your money. Even though what they're taking isn't properly significant to you, but it is when you get comfortable and ish starts to add up. Always negotiate unless the deal is already lower than market value. BE CAUTIOUS OF EVERY FUCKING PENNY THAT LEAVES YOUR POCKET!
