TRAVEL INSURANCE:
Missing a vacation is bad enough. Losing the money you paid for your vacation is even worse. Trip insurance is therefore highly recommended. Your premium is related to your trip cost, so you don’t have to worry about being over-insured. We recommend the Travel Insurance providers outlined below:
Money / Currency
Thailand utilizes the Thai Baht (TBH) as its currency. 1 USD is equivalent to 29.20 TBH. Many places do not accept credit cards, please bring cash for tips, restaurant expenses, and souvenir shopping. Upon arrival, you can change your USD to local currency (THB) at the Airport. You can also withdraw money from the ATM but beware that ALL ATMs charge a 220 Bath (~$7.20 USD) withdrawal fee every time you withdraw money.
