New entry requirements have been introduced in 2025. All foreign arrivals must now complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card, commonly known as the TDAC, before entering the country, as reported by Smartraveller. This must be done within three days before arrival, and authorities recommend travelers check the official Thai government portal for the latest TKAC instructions to ensure smooth entry.
Beginning June 2025, Thailand is rolling out a new Electronic Travel Authorization or ETA for those traveling under visa exemption. The ETA can be registered online or at arrival points, and although registration is free and usually processed within an hour, listeners should apply in advance to avoid delays at the airport. Proof of ETA registration may be required to board your flight and at entry checkpoints, as detailed by the Thai Embassy’s travel update. Frequent visitors are encouraged to consider long-term visas to simplify repeated entry.
Recent events such as the March 2025 earthquake in neighboring Myanmar, which caused tremors and brief disruptions in Bangkok, show that travelers should remain alert for the possibility of aftershocks or other natural disruptions. Thai authorities responded efficiently, conducting safety checks and restoring normal operations quickly, and there is no ongoing disruption in Bangkok or other major tourist centers according to Tours4Fun’s April 2025 safety report.
Health and safety are other important considerations. Air pollution, especially in northern Thailand and Bangkok, can be hazardous during the dry season. Travelers with respiratory conditions should monitor local air quality before and during their trip. Road traffic accidents remain a significant risk, with motorcycle incidents being particularly frequent. The Canadian government travel advisory specifically urges caution or avoidance of riding motorcycles in Thailand due to erratic driving norms and frequent accidents, especially during local holidays and rainy season from June through October. Always use reputable transportation and avoid isolated beaches, especially when traveling alone, as petty crime such as robbery can occur.
For health concerns, some areas of Thailand may require malaria prevention medication, so it’s wise to consult a healthcare provider before departure, particularly if your itinerary includes rural or forested regions.
Thailand’s temples, markets, and cultural attractions remain open and welcoming. When visiting religious sites, listeners should dress modestly, remove their shoes before entering, and show respect to Buddhist monks and traditions, as Thai law is strict and penalties for violations can be severe.
In summary, Thailand welcomes travelers who follow updated entry requirements, stay informed about local events, use caution on the roads, and respect local customs. By preparing in advance, you can enjoy the rich culture and natural beauty that Thailand has to offer while avoiding unnecessary risks.
