Travel Note
-Passports are required for travel to and from Thailand. US/UK passport holders are given a short stay visa upon arrival with nothing more than the arrival/departure form given to you on your international flight there. -Please familiarize yourself with Thailand’s cultural norms and etiquette. Thai people respond best to a big, bright smile and a laid back attitude. The best advice we can give for travel here is to relax, be patient, and embrace all the beautiful differences in life that you will see :-) It is such a special place and we can’t wait for you all to experience it. -ATMs give the best exchange rates so you may want to withdraw cash once you land in Thailand. -Thailand is extremely HOT. Please pack accordingly! -Most hotels/resorts have universal plugs that work for all devices except some high voltage electronics. -Call your credit card company to let them know you are traveling to ensure your transactions go through without a problem.
