Thailand Visa Guide
The entry point for most of the Europeans and Westerners to the paradise of Asia. Tonnes of direct and affordable flights to Southeast Asia are heading to Thailand. I'm one of the travellers who couldn't resist the beauty of Thailand, being a Philippines' passport holder, my entry to Thailand was easy and smooth, although it wasn't as easy when I had to fly out.
Most Europeans and the west part of the world should not have a hard time obtaining a visa to Thailand. In this Thailand visa guide article, you will find out if you are free of visa to enter the country, how long you are allowed to stay for, where you can apply for one (if you need a visa), how much should it cost you, and how to extend your Thai visa.
