Thailand

Thailand is the country of smiles. The people are so friendly and help you with every problem you might face. Around 95% are Buddhists. You can feel, that living together in a tolerant and peaceful way is a philosophy of life, even as a tourist.

Maybe you should think about Malaria prophylaxes.

Also you should check the „standard“ vaccinations like tetanus, polio, measles as well as hepatitis A+B, typhus, rabies, Japanese encephalitis and diphtheria. There is Dengue Fever and the Zika-Virus, too, but there are no vaccinations for these diseases. 

It’s possible to enter Thailand visa-free for 30 days (currently 45 days) with the opportunity to extend your stay for further 30 days. This is applicable for nearly all citizens of European countries, of the US, Kanada, Australia e.g.

Crimes, especially in touristy areas and in nightlife districts, have increased in the past years. Corrupt police officers aren’t rare and work together with local criminals. All in all, you don’t need to worry, just be reasonable and have a common sense. 

Thailand is a pretty cheap country. We think that, most of the time, the prices for accommodation, food or activities are fair. Sometimes you have to bargain to get an even better price.
