CUSTOMS

Customs regulations are in line with those prevailing elsewhere in the world. However, the importation of prohibited items carries serious penalties. In particular the import of narcotics in Thailand is treated very seriously.

Foreign currencies and traveller’s cheques are easily exchanged at banks, hotels or licensed money changers. All major credit cards are widely accepted.

CLIMATE

Thailand enjoys a tropical climate with three distinct seasons: hot from April to mid-October (34°C to 38°C), fresh from January to April (28°C to 32°C), and rainy from mid-October to mid-December. The rainy season remains pleasant as there are plenty of sunny days during the monsoon.

Thai is the main language in Thailand. Other languages spoken are Malay, Chinese, Lao and Mon-Khmer. English is becoming more common, especially in government and commerce.

Special health certificates are generally not required but you should take advice from your medical practitioner or travel specialist.
