Bucket List Experiences
Things to know before visiting Thailand
- You will need a tourist visa to visit Thailand. These can be purchased online or on arrival for up to 30 days.
- Please do your research before you buy any sort of tour that includes animals. Elephant riding and tiger encounters are not ethical and harmful to them.
- Try to avoid ‘bucket cocktails’ as these are full of toxic energy drinks and alcohol. Drinks also get spiked a lot.
- Thailand is generally safe to visit. Don’t go out late at night in the bigger cities and put locks on your luggage.
- Be wary of animals like monkeys and stray dogs to avoid contracting rabies. Have a preventative vaccine before you go.
