1. What is the single most important document for 2026?
In 2026, the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is crucial. Without this digital approval, boarding your flight to Thailand might be denied for visa-exempt travelers.
2. Do I need a physical SIM card?
We recommend an eSIM (like Airalo or local providers AIS/dtac). You can activate it before landing, ensuring instant access to maps and Grab upon arrival.
3. Is cash still necessary in Thailand?
While digital payments (PromptPay/Credit Cards) are widely used in cities, cash is still essential for markets, island transport, and stichprobenartige (random) immigration checks.
4. What should I pack for the temples?
Respectful attire is mandatory: shoulders and knees must be covered. A lightweight linen scarf or trousers are perfect for the tropical climate.
