Looks like TDAC kiosks are ready for May 1st

If you are arriving in Thailand on 1 May, you can now submit your digital arrival card (tdac.immigration.go.th). You can complete it on your smartphone even while waiting in the immigration queue. No smartphone? No problem. Use one of the TDAC kiosks provided at the airport.

We're still surprised how powerful the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) is. We're expecting it'll be nerfed eventually, but here's everything you need to know as of April 2025.

Reminder: From 1st May 2025 all visitors not holding a Thai passport will need to fill out a TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) within 3 days of arrival.

Prior to June 2022 we had to fill out paper TM6 forms, this is the digital replacement for that.

Foodpanda is closing down on 23rd May. We still have and Tuk. Any others?

Tuk seems to charge restaurants much less, and makes sense to have downloaded because they have restaurants that can't afford to cut in to margins on Grab.

Tuk UI is terrible, but it works.

After traveling Thailand on and off for 13 years, it's finally time to visit the only place I've never explored... Narathiwat.

Excited to be back traveling Thailand with the passion that got me hooked all that time ago 🥰.

It's better in Thailand!

Thailand friends! The Rocket Festival in Yasothon is coming up on the 16th May 2025. It's one of a few must sees if you're able to get out there.

We've just updated our Thailand Arrival & Survival guide. A lot has changed in the last few years with e-visas, dropped insurance requirements, new rules, a train line to DMK, legal w**d, and lots more. If you or someone you know has an upcoming trip to Thailand, give this a read and save time, money, and hassle.

The only guide you need to prepare for a trip to Thailand. Visas, insurance, vaccinations? Exchange currencies, get a SIM card, get a taxi at the airport without falling for a scam. We have you covered.
