FAQs

Question

What airport should we fly into?

Answer

International flights will arrive at Bangkok - Suvarnabhumi Airport (airport code: BKK). You will likely need to spend the night in Bangkok before traveling to Phitsanulok. There are several hotels located at or near Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport. To get to Phitsanulok (airport code: PHS), you will ned to fly out of Bangkok's domestic airport: Don Mueang International Airport (airport code: DMK). Three domestic airlines—Nok Air, Thai AirAsia, and Thai Lion Air—operate flights from Bangkok to Phitsanulok. Five daily flights are scheduled between 6:30 AM and 5:15 PM.

Question

How do I get around?

Answer

In Thailand, the most widely used ride-hailing apps are Grab and Bolt. While traditional taxis are also readily available, Grab and Bolt offer the convenience of inputting your pick-up and drop-off locations directly through the app, along with an upfront fare estimate. This can be especially helpful for travelers who don't speak Thai, making it one of the easiest ways to get around. These apps are free to download on your mobile device. If you choose to take a regular taxi, be sure to ask the driver to use the meter, as this is usually more cost-effective than accepting a flat-rate fare.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

***𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐢 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐬𝐨 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐣𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐬.*** ☀️ For the morning blessing ceremony, feel free to wear semi-formal garden attire. We ask that you dress somewhat modestly (as it is a religious ceremony with monks). You can even wear traditional Thai attire if you feel inclined! 🌙 For the evening ceremony, cocktail attire or formal attire is perfect. Tuxes and gowns are welcome, as are suits and cocktail dresses that are knee, midi, or tea-length. The ceremonies will be held at a venue with both indoor and outdoor areas, and there will be access to air conditioning. That said, Thailand’s climate is typically warm and humid, so we recommend light, breathable fabrics.

Question

What Weather can I Expect?

Answer

The average temperature in Thailand during February ranges from the upper-70s to mid-80s during the daytime. At night, the temperature typically drops to the low-70s. February is the last month of Thailand's dry season. Rain is not common during this time of year, though scattered showers are possible.

Question

Should I carry cash?

Answer

Thailand is primarily a cash economy, although most sit-down restaurants and hotels accept credit cards. Bringing a small amount of USD ($100-$200) to exchange at a booth at the airport is recommended, as well as withdrawing cash at intervals throughout your visit at ATMs which are widely available.

Question

Will I have cell service?

Answer

We recommend setting up an international plan with your phone provider, purchasing an eSIM, or buying a SIM card when you arrive in Bangkok. There are many booths at the airport with options for affordable short-term plans. See this website to purchase an eSIM: https://esimthailand.com/product/esim-thailand-unlimited-data-calls-plan/
