- Tourist Visa: Agar aap tourist ke liye ja rahe hain, to kaafi countries ke citizens ko Visa on Arrival milta hai Thailand mein. Iska matlab hai aapko pehle se visa apply karne ki zaroorat nahi, bas airport par aapko visa mil jayega (15-30 days ke liye). Lekin yeh depend karta hai aap kis country se travel kar rahe hain.
- Visa-free Entry: Kuch countries ke citizens ko 30 days tak ka visa-free entry milta hai, jaise India ke log agar direct flight se Thailand aate hain.

- Scams: Kuch scams bhi ho sakte hain, jaise tuk-tuk drivers jo aapko “special offers” ke liye le jaate hain, jo zyada expensive hote hain. Hamesha fare confirm karke chalna zaroori hai.
10. Language (Bhasha)
