PLAN YOUR VISIT

Getting there: Thailand is easily accessible from most countries around the world. The most common airports that travellers fly into are Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport and Don Mueang International Airport. Alternatively, many travellers fly directly into Phuket, a major tourist hotspot, via Phuket International Airport

Getting around: One of the most convenient ways of travelling inside this large country is via domestic flights. In general, renting a car is not recommended, as it is expensive and the roads are not for the faint-hearted. Renting a motorbike is much more economical, and many travellers choose this option, despite the roads. You can also get around via train, bus or ferry
