💡 Travel Tips
💰 Eat where locals eat - street food stalls and local shophouses offer authentic meals for 30-60 THB (₹70-140), while touristy restaurants charge 5-10 times more for the same quality.
📅 November to February offers the most pleasant weather with cool temperatures (20-30°C) and minimal rainfall, making it ideal for exploring temples and markets. March to May brings intense heat and humidity, but fewer tourists and better hotel deals for budget-conscious travelers.
🛂 Indian passport holders can obtain a 60-day Tourist Visa on Arrival (VOA) at Suvarnabhumi Airport for THB 2,000, or apply for an e-Visa online before travel for added convenience. Embassy visa processing is also available but takes 3-5 working days.
