Overview

A first trip to Thailand is usually Bangkok and Pattaya: shopping, temples, night markets and a beach close to the capital. For finer islands head to Phuket with Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay; for hills, Lanna temples and cooler air go north to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.

Best time

November to February is dry and cooler, the best time. March to May is very hot; June to October is the rainy season, with rough seas off Phuket.

Direct flights

Direct flights to Bangkok take about 1 hour 30 minutes from Ho Chi Minh City and about 2 hours from Hanoi; there are also direct flights to Phuket and Chiang Mai.

How long

5 days for Bangkok and Pattaya; add 3–4 days for Phuket or Chiang Mai.

Visa

Many passports, including Vietnamese, can visit Thailand visa-free for a short stay; check the current rules for your passport, which must be valid for more than 6 months.

FAQ

Do I need a visa for Thailand?

Many passports, including Vietnamese, can enter Thailand visa-free for a short holiday; the length of stay depends on your nationality and the current Thai rules, so check with your airline or the official Thai e-visa site before you travel. Your passport should be valid for more than 6 months.

When is the best time to visit Thailand?

November to February is dry and cooler, ideal for Bangkok, Pattaya and Chiang Mai. March to May is very hot. June to October is the rainy season, when seas around Phuket and Phi Phi can be rough and island boats may be rescheduled; Pattaya is less affected.

Bangkok and Pattaya, Phuket or Chiang Mai?

For a first visit, five days in Bangkok and Pattaya is the easiest: shopping, temples, night markets, shows and a nearby beach. For beautiful islands and a resort stay, choose Phuket with Phi Phi. If you prefer hills, Lanna temples and cooler weather, go to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.

How soon is my hotel booking confirmed?

We hold the room with the hotel and confirm within 4 working hours (8:00–22:00, GMT+7). You are not charged until the room is confirmed.

How do I pay?

By card through OnePay, charged in VND, with 3-D Secure. Prices on this page include taxes and fees.
