Question

What is Cape Panwa like?

Answer

Cape Panwa is the quieter side of Phuket. It’s more private, calm beaches, and a relaxed resort vibe compared to the busy town areas. It feels like a little hidden escape on a peninsula. But we definitely recommend going into Phuket Old Town too, especially the Sunday Night Market for food, culture, and a more lively local vibe. It’s the best of both worlds, a chill beach stay and fun exploring in town.

Question

Do I need a visa or any entry form for Thailand?

Answer

If you have a US passport, you don’t need a visa for tourism.You can stay in Thailand for up to 60 days, and it can usually be extended another 30 days (around 90 days total) at immigration if needed. Just make sure your passport is valid and have a return ticket ready. Also, everyone must fill out the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) before arriving. It’s completely free and must be done only on the official website: https://tdac.immigration.go.th. Please be careful of fake sites that try to charge money for it You should never pay anything for TDAC.
