Go, Travel to Thailand

On this page you will find links to the newest articles, the most read articles, the most popular tags, links to articles about different places and activities, a currency calculator, etc.

You can use the menu system or my sitemap to find your way around, and you can also use the search box to find articles about a desired location or topic.

Please note that Travel to Thailand is a one-man project, I cannot write about everything. I am an old, retired journalist from Denmark, and I am writing about Thailand because I like writing, and because I might be able to help others visiting Thailand get the most out of their visit. The Danish version of this website contains around 300 articles, which is about three times as many as are found here on the English version. You may want to use Google Translate to translate the Danish articles at https://rejse-til-thailand.dk if you cannot find what your are looking for here.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions for improvements or if you think an article is missing about something, you are welcome to contact me by email: kim@gotravelthailand.com.

This page is not suitable for printing due to the many boxes with scroll bars. You will not be able to see it all on a piece of paper.

There is a lot of content here on the front page, so it is collapsed so you don't have to scroll as much. Tap the headings below to open or close a section.

Search ...

Please note: Only the exact occurrence of the search term is searched. If you search for multiple words, you risk that there will be no results. However, you can search for parts of a word. A search for eleph will thus catch all occurrences of elephant and elephant riding. Tags are also searched.

Please also note that places in Thailand can be spelled in different ways with Western letters, such as Ban Krut, which is often also spelled Baan Krut, Ban Krood, or Baan Grood. If you do not get a result from a search, try an alternative spelling
