It depends on your nationality. Citizens of Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, and most Latin American countries can enter without a visa as tourists for up to 60 days (since July 2024). You only need:

  • Passport with at least 6 months of validity
  • Ticket to leave the country
  • Proof of accommodation (we will send you an invitation letter with your booking)

If you are traveling from another country or for more than 60 days, write to me and I will confirm it on a case-by-case basis.

The most comfortable season is from November to February : mild temperatures (25–30°C), little rain, and clear skies. It is also the peak tourist season.

March to May: very hot (35°C+), but lower prices and fewer crowds.
June to October: monsoon season. Heavy but short rains, and the country looks greener than ever. Perfect for flexible travelers.

I enjoy Thailand all year round — you just have to adapt the itinerary to the season.

Lightweight, breathable clothing in light colors. I recommend:

  • Cotton or linen T-shirts (3–5)
  • Lightweight trousers + shorts
  • A sarong or scarf to cover yourself in temples
  • Comfortable sandals + walking shoes
  • Swimsuit, sunglasses and hat
  • Thin raincoat (during the rainy season)
  • A light sweater (for the air conditioning — it’s brutal)

For temples: shoulders and knees covered. It is mandatory.

Yes, Thailand is one of the safest destinations in Southeast Asia. I’ve been living here for over 10 years and I get around on my own without any problems.

Normal precautions for any country:

  • Be careful with your bag in very touristy areas of Bangkok
  • Avoid taxis without meters — always ask for the meter.
  • Do not accept offers from strangers to take you to temples/shops
  • On beaches, be careful of currents during monsoon season

All our tours include 24/7 support via WhatsApp. If anything happens, I’m just a message away.

Within each program we take care of all transportation: private transfers in air-conditioned vehicles, domestic flights when convenient (Bangkok–Chiang Mai, Bangkok–Phuket) and overnight trains if you fancy the experience.

All drivers are trustworthy, speak basic English, and receive instructions in Spanish from me.

No vaccinations are required for entry from Europe or Latin America. International vaccination centers typically recommend:

  • Hepatitis A and typhoid (if you’re going to eat street food)
  • Tetanus daily
  • Rabies or Japanese encephalitis only for long or rural stays

Consult your international health center 4–6 weeks before your trip. It’s always a recommendation , never a requirement for regular tourists.

No. Tap water isn’t safe to drink, but don’t worry: bottled water is very cheap (50 cents for a liter and a half) and sold everywhere. You’ll find free bottled water every day at all the hotels on our tours.

You can use tap water to brush your teeth without any problem.

Thai food can be spicy, but you can always order it “mai phet” (not spicy) or “phet nit noi” (mildly spicy).

There are many vegetarian and vegan options : vegetable pad thai, meatless curries, mango rice, fresh spring rolls… Let us know before the tour and we will adapt each meal.

Allergies? We’ll sort them out with the restaurants before you arrive.

The tour already covers almost everything. I recommend bringing between $25 and $40 USD per day per person for:

  • Meals outside the program
  • Drinks, snacks, massages (a 1-hour Thai massage costs 6–10 USD)
  • Souvenirs and markets
  • Tips

There are ATMs in all destinations, and currency exchange to baht is easy. Cards work in hotels and large stores, but bring cash for markets and street food.

Three options, from most comfortable to cheapest:

  • eSIM (my favorite): you buy it online before traveling and activate it upon landing. About $10–15 USD for a week.
  • Physical SIM card at the airport: AIS or DTAC stands as soon as you arrive, very easy, 15–20 USD for a week.
  • Hotel Wi-Fi: Included in all tour accommodations.

I’ll help you activate it if you need it.

Temples are sacred places. The basic rule:

  • Shoulders covered (no straps or tank tops)
  • Knees covered (no shorts or short skirts)
  • Shoes off upon entering the main temple

If you’re caught off guard, you can rent sarongs for 50 baht at the larger temples. I always carry a scarf in my backpack: it solves everything.

They are not mandatory, but they are greatly appreciated. Reference:

  • Restaurants: 20–50 baht (0.50–1.50 USD) or round up the bill
  • Massages: 50–100 baht
  • Guides: 300–500 baht per day, per group
  • Drivers: 100–200 baht per day

Always in cash and with your hands, never on the table. It’s a gesture that in Thailand means affection.
