Before Booking Flights
Most people fly into Bangkok. While it’s a wonderful place, many who are visiting Thailand are looking to head either south or north.
Those looking for beach destinations generally travel to Phuket or the surrounding beachside communities. Those looking for mountains and slightly cooler weather head up to Chiang Mai.
You can fly directly to both of these cities, saving lots of time and money if these are your final destinations.
How to Visit Thailand in 2022
As we enter 2022, much of the world has eased off of travel restrictions and quarantine requirements. Most of Asia, however, remains closed to outside tourists.
Thailand is one of the few countries in Asia trying to open its doors to tourists. In late 2021, Thailand eliminated quarantine requirements for vaccinated travelers. But shortly thereafter, reimposed a short quarantine. Check current requirements before booking a flight, and again before your trip begins.
While there is a bit more hassle with getting into the country right now, it also means there are far fewer tourists in Thailand than normal. This can make it much more enjoyable to spend time on otherwise crowded beaches.
Things to Do in Thailand
No matter where you spend time in Thailand, there are countless things to do. It would take many vacations to experience all that this country has to offer.
In Bangkok, there are plenty of sprawling markets to browse and shop at. Street food vendors cook up some of the most delicious, affordable dishes you’ll ever taste. And the amount of beautiful temples you can visit is astounding.
Most visitors spend a good chunk of their time down south, near Phuket, where some of the world’s most beautiful beaches are located. This area is a famous rock climbing destination, with countless areas that rise up over the water.
Snorkeling, diving, and fishing opportunities abound right off the shore. You can rent kayaks, paddle to nearby islands, or check out Jet Ski Phuket for some fast and affordable fun in the sun.
Enjoying Your Trip to Thailand
If you’re planning a trip to Thailand this year, you will have to get creative and be flexible. Traveling internationally isn’t as easy as it used to be, but it’s still possible.
And if you make it to the Land of Smiles, you’ll get to experience it in a more authentic way, since the tourism en masse has yet to bounce back.
