THAILAND

The best time to travel to Thailand is between October to the end of March for most of the country. The gulf of Thailand (Koh Samui region) experiences a different weather pattern so the best weather is normally from January to August. The best time to visit the Andaman Sea area (Phuket and Krabi) is normally from November to April.

There are several ways to get around the country, but usually, Goway passengers will travel by private vehicle and domestic flight. If planning to visit smaller Thai islands you will travel by ferry or speedboat.

Definitely! There are several things the whole family will enjoy such as a safari camp experience at Elephant Hills to get up close to elephants, water-based activities in Angthong Marine Park, or in the Andaman Sea, and cooking and bicycle tours. We can create a custom itinerary based on your family’s interests.

The official language of Thailand is Thai.

While English is quite widely spoken throughout the country, especially in tourist areas, do not assume all individuals will be able to converse in English.

The currency used throughout the country is Thai baht. Mastercard and Visa are widely accepted at most hotels and tourist locations. ATMs are very common throughout the country.

A visa is not required when travelling with a Canadian or United States passport for travel up to 30 days.

Western-style and Asian-style squat toilets can be found in public bathrooms. It is recommended you bring your own tissues and hand sanitizer as they are not normally provided. Some public facilities may charge a small fee.

It is strongly advised NOT to drink tap water in Thailand. It’s best to stick to filtered water, which can be found in hotels and restaurants. Ice is usually okay, since it is usually factory-produced, using filtered water.
