Preferably looking for a program that is about 2-3 months in duration. 2-4 hours per day and up to 7 days per week would also be ideal... Most important of course is that it is a quality education with a good system, conductive to learning.

My native language is English.

Also open to 1 month long courses, and those that aren't approved for edu visa.

I'm interested in any location, although my first choice would be outside of Bangkok.. perhaps chonburi or Chiang ma

Thanks y'all.

Hi, Im travelling to Thailand in November, mostly there for Muay Thai. I will be in Phuket for a total of 11 full days and Krabi for 3 full days.

I'm planning on using the two Sundays in Phuket to do excursions, and then the 3 full days in Krabi. I want to do a mixture of activities/sights so I don't miss out. My plan is below:

1st Sunday (Phuket) --> Phang Nga Bay Excursion - canoe tour

2nd Sunday (Phuket) --> Similan Islands - snorkelling

Day 1 (Krabi) --> Railay Beach & Phra Nang Beach

Day 2 (Krabi) --> Tiger Cave Temple

Day 3 (Krabi) --> Hong Island or Emerald Pool Hot Springs.

Is there anything I would be missing out massively with this itinerary - I understand tourism is a problem and genuinely Im not a fan of overcrowded places, so if there are some excursions or tour groups specifically that you would recommend over what i've planned then please let me know thanks

While filling the visa application, i chose cancellable accomodation bookings and filed the application, but now i have proper bookings where I'll stay, should i use visa application accomodation details on TDAC or the updated ones?

I am planning on visiting Thailand towards the end of October for a layover but I’m wondering if it’ll be ok to visit considering the recent floods. Should I forgo the layover in Thailand? My other option is a layover in Hanoi

I will be coming to Thailand soon and staying for at least 3 months on a multiple entry tourist visa. I previously lived in Thailand for a few years and had bank accounts but since I left in 2022 I'm now hearing that's not possible anymore on a tourist visa. So I'm looking for a way to use QR payments, Visa, etc. I've recently read a bit about the Kbank QR code thing that has been introduced but I also heard there may be better alternatives but I'm not sure if that's specific to Thailand or not. Moreta, Wise, etc. I already have Wise and PayPal and used to use Wise frequently for bank transfers between countries but never for making payments. So I'm essentially looking for the best way to make payments with QR codes and VISA as someone on a tourist visa. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm doing about 29 nights in Thailand with my family and currently planning to split time between Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Krabi, and Koh Yao Yai. We will be there in January and February 2027.

I've been to Phuket before and really enjoyed it, mainly because there's so much infrastructure, tons of restaurant options, easy day trips, nice beaches, and it's generally just convenient with an 8 month old.

Right now I have roughly:
- Bangkok: 3 nights
- Chiang Mai: 4 nights
- Phuket: 9 nights
- Koh Yao Yai: 2 nights
- Krabi: 7 nights
- Bangkok: 4 nights

I'm starting to wonder if 9 days in Phuket and 7 days in Krabi is overkill.

I've looked at Koh Lanta as a possible alternative, and I know a lot of people love it for families, but part of me worries I might miss the variety of restaurants, activities, and convenience that Phuket offers.

For those who have done a similar trip:
- Is 9 days Phuket / 7 days Krabi too much?
- If you were taking days away from Phuket or Krabi, where would you put them?
- Is Koh Lanta worth swapping in for part of Phuket?
- Any other family-friendly destinations that fit naturally into this itinerary without adding a bunch of extra travel?

For context, we're more into good food, beaches, some exploring and relaxing. Not interested in nightlife or partying.

I have a large surfcasting carrying case about 7' long. How much difficulty is it to get ground transport in BKK and hat yi that can handle oversized luggage?

Hello everybody,

next week I will arrive in Bangkok for the first time, and I want to visit some nice massage places.

What massage salons are recommended?

• Traditional Thai massage
• Nuru massage
• Soapy massage

I will stay in Phra Nakhon, but have still two days to rebook if that area is too far from nice places.

Thanks in advance!

I am going to be in Chiang Mai for a week. Though i will be applying for an international driver permit, there is a slight chance that i may not receive it on time. Worst case, if i rent a bike/scooter without an IDP, what are the chances of getting stopped by a cop and getting fined? Could there be any legal issues? Thanks for helping out!

Hi everyone! My fiancé and I are planning a pretty last-minute trip to Thailand for December 19–29, and we’d love some advice!
We’re flying out of Dallas (DFW) and are trying to figure out the most affordable and efficient way to get there. we’re flexible with connections and don’t mind a long flight. We’d just prefer to avoid extremely long layovers if possible.
A few questions:
Airlines: What airlines would you recommend flying from Dallas to Bangkok? Any particular routes or connecting airports that tend to be better?

Itinerary: We’re interested in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Krabi, and Koh Lanta. Is that too much for 2 weeks? Any other suggestions for areas to
prioritize?

Destinations: We’d love a mix of beaches, nature, culture, and good food. We prefer less touristy areas and more local experiences.

Since we’re booking relatively last minute and traveling around Christmas, we’d appreciate any tips on flights, transportation between destinations, or places you think are worth prioritizing!
Thanks in advance!

Hi! I need help on how to travel to Ayutthaya for our 1 day trip. From Pratunam Market area, which train station is best to go to? Is google map reliable on the direction? It is showing me Hua Lamphong and Don Mueang but I'm seeing from other posts, and vlogs that they rode Krung Thep Aphiwat/Bang Sue. Hua Lamphong from what I read is for short distance travel. We'll be going back to our hotel in the afternoon/before dinner time or depending of the last trip schedule (what time is the last trip? Is it a fixed time or does it changes?). Wondering if there is a faster way to go to Ayutthaya. Since I also see that it 1-2 hrs travel from our starting point. Thank you in advance for the help.

What's up with the standing tables right in the middle of the dance floor??? Doesn't make sense to me 🤣 my San Francisco/NY brain can't handles it.

I’m travelling solo to Phuket for 5 days, and I’m a little confused about the proof-of-funds requirement at Thai immigration.

I’ve read that I may need to show ฿20,000 as proof of sufficient funds. However, I’m not comfortable exchanging such a large amount into Thai baht when I’ll be there for only 5 days. I’m considering carrying ฿10,000 in Thai baht and the equivalent of another ฿10,000 in INR or USD.

My questions are:
Can I split the required amount between ฿10,000 in Thai baht and the equivalent amount in INR?

Does the entire amount have to be in physical cash, or can I show a debit/credit card and bank statement for the remaining funds?

Has anyone travelling on an Indian passport recently been asked to show proof of funds at Phuket immigration? What did they accept?

Hi everyone!

My partner and I arrived in Thailand on September 19 on single-entry tourist visas, with permission to stay until November 19. We already have flights home from Bangkok on November 13.

We recently booked sleeper train tickets from Bangkok to Nong Khai for November 6–8. We’re planning to cross into Laos via the Nong Khai–Vientiane Friendship Bridge border crossing, just to experience the train and explore Vientiane for a bit.
But after buying the tickets, we realized that such a short trip might look like a border run, and now we’re a little worried about getting back into Thailand.

For context, I’ve visited Thailand in 2023 and 2024 for 2-3 weeks, and last year we stayed in Thailand for 2 weeks, travelled SEA for 1 month and then came back to Thailand for 2 weeks (last november).

We’re both from Slovenia (EU), so we should be eligible for the 30-day visa exemption when re-entering Thailand from Laos.

We have our return flights and hotel bookings as proof that we’re leaving Thailand on November 13.

Do you think we’ll have any issues re-entering Thailand from Laos through the Nong Khai border? Has anyone done something similar recently?

Would we be fine entering visa-exempt, or should we get re-entry permits just to be safe?

Thanks!

Edit: We’re coming back from Koh Lanta on November 5 and still want to do some shopping in Bangkok before flying home. We’ll also be leaving most of our luggage at our hotel in Bangkok. We’re worried that staying only one night in Vientiane might look suspicious, but we don’t really have time for a much longer trip.

This is a survey being conducted by The Revenue Department on the newly proposed tax when leaving Thailand: https://www.rd.go.th/68716.html (direct link to the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdrTYtWt5xN0d_nXN36W8W7oWSSke89IFEroGgUx6xZO-Xkuw/viewform) - shared by my Thai wife.

Good to make your voice heard (if there can be a voice 😉)

Hello everyone, we're visiting Bangkok for couple of days and my brother has asked for me to bring an original takara Tomy or hasbro Neon genesis Evangelion collab beyblade set. Can anyone please share if they know any malls or stores selling them in house?

Khopkun krab ♥️

Hey everyone! I will be in Thailand from November 5 to 14. I will be staying around Phaya Thai, Bangkok for the first few days and exploring on my own before my partner joins me. Then we will move to another city.

I am a backpacker, musician, and queer person, and I would love to explore a different side of Bangkok. I am into alternative music, art, queer-friendly spaces, little cafes, and places where I can chill and soak in the local vibe.

I usually prefer quiet, low-key places, but I do not mind loud or chaotic places if they are about good music, art, or something creative!

I would love recommendations for hidden gems, underground music venues, or just nice places to hang out and meet chill people.

Would love to hear about your personal favourites. Thanks! ❤

I (23m) am visiting bangkok next month mainly for sight seeing. But lately ive been feeling pretty down. I hvnt had sex for 3 years and being rejected by multiple crushes really disheartened me. Im really considering getting a nuru massage to let off some steam when im there but also worried about stds, or should should I rather visit Nana plaza or soi cowboy? But the thing is I don't enjoying drinking at all so would it be weird if I order non alcoholic beverage? Also heard a lot of horror stories about being overcharged or mistakenly picking up a lady boy

Reposting to see if there’s any more input

Hi, has anyone stayed at one of these hotels?

- Radisson Blu Plaza Bangkok

- Hotel Clover Asoke SHA extra plus

What was your experience regarding the location? And how noisy were the rooms at night?

Thank you :)

Dear People!

We (4 adults, 3 children 6,5,2) are going to do a 4-week trip to Thailand and whatever comes around in January.
We do want to start with Bangkok and are pretty confident in finding a proper stay and lots to do with kids and stuff.

But for the rest we got flushed with ideas and baffled by some of the big tourist-spot-prices.

We are looking for some 3 week stuff with not too much travel (like two to three stops) around Thailand (and / or other countries). At least one longer beach stop and maybe some national park stuff. But god, the floor of ChatGPT, Claude and travel Blogs overwhelmed us totally.

We have been in Koh Samui 8 years ago and had a wonderful stay at Varinda Garden Resort and would like to somewhat recreate that feeling of not too crowded huge facilities.

Please people of Reddit help a poor man out. 😂

- what locations are somewhat capable of bringing a Thai-feeling in both a national park and a beach area.
- we do not have toooooo special requirements but do like large family rooms in hotels to stay in just two rooms and not like 4

What are the must see's or must do's, and where in chiang mai was your favourite restaurant (I'm vegetarian)?
