You can also choose to go island hopping if the blues are all that you’re in Thailand for!
  • Beautiful Buddhist Temples - With around 94% of the population following Buddism, Thailand is home to some beautiful Buddhist temples across the country. Right from the gorgeous White Temple in Chiang Rai, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai to the Wat Chaiwatthanaram in the capital and Wat Arun in Bangkok, amongst many others.
  • The Glorious Grand Palace - Go back in time and visit the Grand Palace in Bangkok, where the Emerald Buddha is housed. It is the one place that completely defines Thai Culture & History.

Thailand Tourist Visa for Indians

Visa-Free Entry for Indian Tourists - If you are travelling as a tourist for a stay of less than 30 days, you will get visa-free entry (for arrival date on or before 10th May 2024).

Thailand has announced visa-free entry for Indian tourists from November 10, 2023, to May 10, 2024, for a stay of up to 30 days. If you are visiting Thailand post this duration or staying in Thailand for less or more than 30 days and still wish to apply for a visa, you can do so as the standard visa application process is still fully functional.

Visa on Arrival for Indian Tourists – If you are travelling to Thailand post 10th May 2024, for a duration of less than 14 days, then you can also apply for a visa-on-arrival. 

The visa fee is 2,000 THB for a single entry and is to be paid in cash only. The Visa-on-Arrival application process is very straightforward and can be accomplished quickly upon your arrival in Thailand.

Tourist Visa through Thai Embassy - If you are looking for a tourist visa for up to 60 days, you need to apply for the Visa in Advance at the royal Thai embassy.

To do so, you can apply offline through a Thai embassy in India in advance. Below are the steps to apply for a Thailand tourist visa through the embassy:

  • Visit the vfsglobal visa website. Select the type of visa and the embassy through which you would like to apply.

  • Download the application form online. Fill the entire form and print it out. 

  • Schedule an appointment or you can even walk-in to the visa application centre to drop off your form along with all the other required documents.

  • After completing all the processes at the centre, pay the visa fees of ₹2,500 or ₹12,000 for a single entry or multiple entry tourist visa respectively. Additional charges might be applicable.

  • Track your application and collect your passport either in-person or through courier.

  • Make sure your passport is valid for more than 6 months.

  • Keep 2000 THB cash (INR 4,375) handy to pay for the visa fee.

  • Proof that you have at least up to 10,000 THB for your trip (not compulsory- but can be asked).

Safety and Precautions for Indians

Thailand is a fairly safe country. However, owing to its large influx of tourists- there are a couple of travel scams and petty crimes you need to be wary of. Also given that Thailand is actually a Kingdom, there are some rules you should be aware of and we’re here to help you with just that. After all, we want nothing to really ruin your holiday. 🙂  

  • Avoid the tuktuk drivers in Bangkok. Especially if they’re being over friendly or too pushy! Some of them will lure you in by saying they’ll take you around shopping. Don’t listen to them, plus they’re most likely to overcharge you. Additionally, if they ever say so and so temple is closed, don’t believe them! It’s a scam.
  • Similarly, don’t believe anyone who says they’ll take you to the Lucky Buddha Temple in Bangkok. That too is a famous scam, usually by tuktuk drivers and scam tour guides- who will probably lure you into buying fake gems later.
  • The road traffic can get a little chaotic in the cities. In fact, Thailand comes second in road fatalities per capita in the world! In case you’re going to rent a scooter to roam about, be very careful (and please wear a helmet!) and make sure you have a travel insurance that can cover you in case of any unforeseen circumstances, including minor road hiccups, own vehicle damage, personal accident, etc. (and yes, we do cover them all!) 
  • If you’re going out drinking, be sure of who is making your drinks and be especially careful in tourist heavy spots. There are many travel scams of foreigners being drugged and robbed at bars and clubs.
  • If you’re looking at putting together a vlog or travel video using your drone, be careful as there are several restrictions in specific areas on flying drones and you may need permission from the necessary authorities for the same. Moreover, you’ll need an insurance to protect your drone, and an approval from the Civil Aviation Authority Thailand (CAAT)- which can take up to 100 days! 
  • Avoid red light areas and even if you’re going there, do not take photos (it’s prohibited in most areas!) and stay cautious of pickpockets and misleading Thai massages, amongst many other scams and rip off tactics that are common in these areas.
  • Don’t talk about the King as he’s probably one of the most respected figures in Thailand and even considered as God to many. Talking about him is almost taboo and can get you in a lot trouble with the strict Lese Majeste laws!
  • Don’t litter anywhere. There’s a cost for it, especially on the beach! If you’re found littering, authorities in Thailand could fine you between 2000 THB to 100,000 THB (INR 4000 to 2 lakhs!) or you could even face some time in prison!

Smoking is banned in many beaches and public areas, so be careful! Additionally, Electronic cigarettes/vaping have been banned in Thailand since 2014. 

Indian Embassy in Thailand

It’s always handy to be aware of the Indian Embassy’s number wherever you’re traveling to. In Thailand, the Indian Embassy is in Bangkok and can be reached on +6622580300.
