About Thailand for visitors

Thailand is Southeast Asia's busiest leisure hub — beach circuits in the south, Chiang Mai's old city in the north, and Bangkok in between. Most visitors come for short tourist stays, and the country competes hard for them.

Nearly all international arrivals land at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi (BKK) or Don Mueang (DMK), with Phuket (HKT) the main direct gateway to the islands. Immigration lines move quickly but peak-season evenings can stretch past an hour.
