Check Passport
Ensure your Spanish passport is valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival in Thailand and has at least one blank page.
Travel to Thailand
Fly into major international airports like Suvarnabhumi (BKK) or Don Mueang (DMK) in Bangkok, or Phuket (HKT).
Immigration Clearance

Required Documents

Important Tips
- •The local currency is the Thai Baht (THB). Cash is king for street food, markets, and tuk-tuks, while cards are accepted in malls and hotels.
- •Respect the Monarchy: It is strictly illegal to insult the Thai Royal Family, and doing so can result in severe prison sentences.
- •Dress modestly when visiting temples (shoulders and knees must be covered). Always remove your shoes before entering a temple or a Thai home.
- •Do not touch a Thai person's head (it is considered the most sacred part of the body) or point your feet at anyone or anything sacred.
- •Tap water is not safe to drink. Always stick to bottled or filtered water.
