Question
🛂 Do I need a visa to travel to Thailand?
Answer
Please verify whether you need a visa. If you're entering with a US passport— no visa is required for stays up to 30 days! ✈️ Just make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date. All non Thai citizens must fill out a Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) at: https://tdac.immigration.go.th/arrival-card/#/home
Question
☀️ What’s the weather like in June?
Answer
Think tropical summer vibes — warm (ok, hot), humid, and a chance of afternoon showers. Light, breathable clothes are your friend. Bring a small umbrella or light rain jacket just in case.
Question
🚗 What’s the best way to get from the airport to the hotel?
Answer
Taxi: Follow signs to the official stand, get a ticket from the kiosk, and make sure the driver turns on the meter (fare should be ≤ 700 baht). Grab or Bolt: Thailand’s versions of Uber. Download before you arrive. Private Pick-Up: Book a private van through the concierge (concierge@sukhothai.com), recommended for groups of 4+ so everyone can ride together.
Question
🍜🎨🌴 What’s there to do around Bangkok, and how do I book it?
Answer
We highly recommend checking out Agoda & Get your Guide to book experiences, activities and tours around Bangkok. Please see links at the bottom of the Travel section. Our hotel concierge (concierge@sukhothai.com) can also help plan your trip. Just tell them what you’re in the mood for—floating markets? Cooking class? Long-tail boat ride? Restaurant recommendations?—and they’ll make it happen.
Question
💰 What currency is used, and how should I get it?
Answer
The currency is the Thai Baht (฿). ATMs are everywhere, and most major cards work here, but cash is king for taxis, markets, and street food stalls. Exchange a little at the airport so you’re ready for your first ride.
Question
💳 Can I use my credit card?
Answer
Yes — most hotels, restaurants, and shops accept cards. Smaller vendors are cash-only, so keep a few bills handy.
Question
🚰 Is the water safe to drink?
Answer
Stick to bottled water for drinking. Ice from restaurants and hotels is fine.
Question
🙏 Any cultural customs I should know?
Answer
Remove shoes before entering temples, dress modestly for religious sites, and avoid touching anyone’s head. A smile is your best accessory in Thailand.
Question
💵 What’s the tipping etiquette?
Answer
Tipping isn’t required, but rounding up or leaving 20–50 baht for great service is always appreciated.
