Thailand travel guide


💱Currency:  Thai Baht (THB)
As a rough guide, 30 THB ≈ 1 USD, so 300 THB ≈ $10 USD.
💶 Budget for a trip to Thailand: Budget travelers should spend around $25–$40/day. For mid-range travel, plan around $60–$100/day, and for luxury, $180–$300+/day on average.
💜 Is tipping required in Thailand?
Tipping is not required and not part of Thai culture, but it’s appreciated. Rounding up the bill or leaving 5–10% in restaurants, spas, or for guides is common in tourist areas.
☀️ Best Time to Visit:
The best time to visit Thailand is November to March, when the weather is cooler and drier.
🏥 Travel Insurance in Thailand:
I recommend SafetyWing for travel insurance – it covers unexpected trip cancellations, medical emergencies, and accidents while you’re exploring Thailand.

Hidden Gems in Thailand

Secret Places to discover in Thailand!

Thailand has endless places to explore. If you’re looking for islands that are off-the-beaten-path, try the cluster of islands near the Cambodia border. I spent some time in Koh Chang and Koh Kood and they were wonderful.
 Koh Yao Yai and Koh Yao No are also magical. I spent quite some time in Bangkok too and stepped away from the tourist traps and fell in love with unique neighborhoods like Talat Noi and Ari.

Is it safe to travel Thailand solo?

Your guide to navigating Thailand solo.

Planning to solo travel in Thailand?

Albania is a safe and welcoming destination for solo travelers! There’s everything here: stunning beaches, historic towns, and it’s extremly affordable. As anywhere you go, stay aware of your surroundings, especially at night. Public transport might slow you down so if you’re a confident driver, you can rent a car. Cities like Tirana, Berat, and Sarandë are great solo-friendly spots. With kind locals, scenic landscapes, and a growing travel scene, Albania is an underrated gem worth exploring solo.
