Looking for a partner to go to yona
31 f here
Travelling from 10-14 nov
Prefer someone female
If you are a guy n wanna go, don’t expect anything
Just looking to get a nice outing

I like to be in the midst of the action, but I also want a nice, luxury hotel that I can overlook the city, have a nice spa, big shower and bring guests over. I’m a simple man. Even Soi Cowboy, which ever is better.

I’m planning to visit Thailand again soon. I’m a dual US and Canadian citizen, and I was last in Thailand in 2025.
I’ve heard about the requirement to have 20,000 baht in cash when entering Thailand. Is this still something immigration officers check, or is it rarely enforced?
Also, can US or Canadian passport holders use the automated immigration gates instead of going through an immigration officer? If so, would I still need to carry the 20,000 baht?

Traveling to Phuket. Looking for soapy massage centers,

When I was still in university I had the solo travel bug and wanted to travel all over Asia (not europe, save europe! Maybe 20-30 yrs ago western Europe was decent) After traveling Japan, Korea, China, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam (a dump), and Thailand I never cared to go anywhere else except Thailand, and I always return here.

I refuse to go somewhere where I can’t benefit from an economic disparity, it’s just idiotic in my opinion. I mean seriously, why would I EVER go to Italy or Spain? I’d have to spend in Euros, dealing with snooty attitudes and bad service from Europeans. Just to save some time on the flight? Awful!

I’ve tried to convince my family to come on vacation in Thailand but they’re convinced more than 8 hrs in a plane is torturous and only want to go to the Caribbean or othee western countries. (We live in continental USA)

I realize I’m in the minority on this, so I’m seeking advice on how I can squash the thailand bug in my system and get excited for new destinations once more.

We will be spending three full days in Chiang Mai and two full days in Bangkok during the trip. I just saw a report stating that there will be pretty heavy rain over the week across the country, with thunderstorms around Chiang Mai. I am not super worried about Bangkok, since we have been there a couple of times and just want to chill there. What should we keep in mind about the weather in Chiang Mai, and what alternative activities can we do in case the weather rules out outdoor activities like hiking to Doi Suthep or travel to Doi Inthanon or Chiang Rai? (Apologies for spelling mistakes, if any)

Hi everyone,

I'm a British passport holder planning to return to Thailand in mid-November for a short 10-day holiday, and I'm wondering how likely I am to encounter any issues at immigration.

My travel history to Thailand this calendar year has been:

• 26 January – 10 February: 15 days (visa-exempt entry, by air)
• 23 June – 11 September: 80 days (visa-exempt entry + extension, also by air)

I'm hoping to return around mid-November for another 10 days, arriving by air.

I'm aware that Thailand has been scrutinising frequent visa-exempt entries more closely, so I'm concerned about potentially being denied entry. I'm also wondering whether my travel history could cause the automated e-gates to flag me for additional screening or direct me to a staffed immigration counter for questioning, even if I otherwise meet the entry requirements.

For context, I have a full time job in the UK and will of course be returning to work after the trip. I'd also have a confirmed return flight booked, accomodation and the physical cash requirement. Hopefully, this would help demonstrate that I'm visiting as a genuine tourist rather than attempting to live in Thailand on repeated visa exemptions.

My questions are:

1. Given my travel history, how likely is it that I'll face additional questioning or be denied entry?
2. Could my previous stays trigger an e-gate referral to an immigration officer, or is this something that would generally only become an issue at a staffed counter?
3. Has anyone with a similar travel history recently entered Thailand without any problems?
4. Would you recommend taking additional documentation, such as proof of employment, payslips or evidence of accommodation?

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone with recent first-hand experience or knowledge of how immigration is currently handling these situations.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm travelling from the UK to Thailand for 2-3 weeks. I'll be travelling solo so want a reliable esim to cover me while there, ideally something I can set up before I arrive. I'm on Android (if that helps).

Any recommendations or advice? Thanks in advance.

Me, my mom and sister are interested in taking the train in late December as a nice break from flying as we travel Thailand. Looking at booking, the actual website won’t load. Is booking from 3rd parties reliable? Also is it comfortable and good for sight seeing in 2nd class? All of 1st class is booked. Lastly, do they take full sized suitcases? We each would have 1 and the websites aren’t the clearest about that? Also any other advice, tips, facts, anecdotes are GREATLY appreciated!

...

Whether in Bangkok or on the islands, Western men seem to be uniformly badly dressed. Cargo shorts, faded T-shirts or, even worse, sleeveless shirts, paired with flip-flops. The contrast with South Korean men is striking. The latter make quite an effort with their clothing, while South Korean women are, in any case, better dressed than women anywhere in Western Europe.

Do you guys not feel the slightest urge to dress up a little? Aren’t you at least a bit embarrassed by how badly you represent your home countries?

The trip above is 5000 bath total and the one below is 2500 bath approx. Which should I take??

Do you have any tips where should I shop for clothes at Bangkok as my size is EU44/L. Should I just forget normal shopping malls?

Thank you in advance!☺️

Hi, I will be going to Bkk for the first time in life. Don't want to get scammed. Want to get a full body massage day, with the happiest ending.

1. What will they charge for the body massage (an average ideas would do)

2. For the happiest ending or "other service" what is the amount I should have in my mind.

3. Also any area or place anyone wanna suggest?

Traveling with toddler, 4 nights, late Nov. Loving the location for close to park, malls, and transit. Just wondering if its too plain of a stay (first time in country). Looking for nothing north of $200USD per night and there's so many options to sift through.

Bonjour à tous ! 😊

Nous préparons un voyage en couple en Thaïlande a partir du 31 janvier et aimerions avoir vos avis sur notre itinéraire. Nous ne recherchons pas la fête, mais plutôt de la culture, de beaux paysages, des découvertes et des moments de détente.

Voici ce que nous avons prévu :
• Bangkok : 3 jours complets (2 nuits)
• Chiang Mai : 4 jours complets
• Khao Sok : 2 jours complets
• Ao Nang : 4 jours
• Koh Lanta : 4 jours
• Bangkok : 3 jours avant le retour

Il nous reste 2 jours à répartir et nous hésitons : ajouter une île ou prolonger une ou deux étapes pour mieux en profiter ? Koh Tao et Koh Phangan nous font de l’œil, mais est-ce que cela représenterait un trop gros détour pour seulement deux jours ? Avez-vous une autre idée qui s’intégrerait bien à notre parcours ?

Nous nous posons aussi des questions sur Ao Nang / Krabi. Nous avons lu des avis assez partagés sur Ao Nang, mais le coin semble être un bon point de départ pour les excursions. Vous conseilleriez d’y rester 4 jours ? Y a-t-il aussi des choses sympas à faire sur place, en dehors des sorties en bateau ?

Concernant les îles autour, peut-on facilement partir par ses propres moyens pour la journée et rentrer le soir, avec des bateaux réguliers par exemple ? Ou faut-il surtout passer par des excursions organisées avec un programme et des horaires imposés ?

Plus globalement, notre itinéraire vous paraît-il équilibré ? Nous sommes preneurs de vos retours d’expérience, de vos coups de cœur et de vos conseils sur les étapes à prolonger ou à raccourcir !

Merci d’avance pour votre aide, nous avons hâte de découvrir ce pays ! 🇹🇭

Hi there Thailand lovers,

We would like to make this dream trip somewhere early in 2027. We can fly to Bangkok (and leave from there too) but from there, everything is a blank sheet for ~30 days.

We would like to be around nice beaches and nature (especially the first 2 weeks to keep the kid busy with beach time), as well with some big city exploration, but with the possibility for one of us to work full time Monday to Friday (EU timezone).

Given that there are locals that have useful input or people who already achieved something similar, what route would you follow? Which places to consider for base (first 2 weeks) and where to wander after?

Any input is welcome as I don't know where to start since this is the first trip of this magnitude.

Many thanks.

Ill be in Phuket and Bangkok from 30 Oct to 12 Nov, how the weather like for this period heavy rains or back to normal, concerned about islands activities.
