Travelling to Thailand

 

Please note that the following items are not included in your Partner Package and are your responsibility to arrange.

FLIGHTS

Global Gathering Partners are responsible for booking their own flights to and from Bangkok.

  • If you plan to stay longer or attend events outside the main program dates, you may request additional accommodation via the registration site (see the Accommodation tab for details).

  • If flights are not yet booked, you can log back into your registration at a later date to update this information.

Ride-Hailing Apps 

Ride-hailings apps such as Grab, Bolt and InDrive operate similarly to Uber and are widely available in Thailand, providing a reliable alternative to taxis with fares set in advance through the app.  
 

Metered Taxi

When taking a metered taxi, please ensure that the taxi driver activates the meter at the start of your journey, as this will allow you to accurately track the fare. If the meter is not activated this may result in the driver overcharging for the fare. Please also note that drivers may have limited English and it is recommended to have the correct change available for payment. 

VISA INFORMATION

You may require a visa for entry into Thailand, depending on the passport you will be travelling on. Currently, citizens of 93 countries are eligible for visa exemption entry.

To check your country's Visa requirements, please click here.

Your passport must:

  • Be valid for at least 6 months from the end of your planned stay
  • Have at least one blank page
  • Be in pristine condition with no damage

Failure to meet these requirements may result in refusal of entry. 

Mandatory Arrival Card

All travellers to Thailand are required to apply for the mandatory Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) within 3 days prior to arrival, including the day of arrival. The TDAC can be applied here free of charge.
