Thailand is a beautiful country. Her tropical weather and rich culture
act as natural magnets for those who dwell in the far-side of the world.
A big chunk of Thailand’s revenues are obtained from the tourism
industry, making her the tourism hub of the far-east. What if you live
on a different country and would want to have a vacation in Thailand?
Visiting Thailand as a Tourist
When you visit Thailand for the purpose of leisure, sight-seeing and
personal enlightenment, you are a tourist. A tourist is not allowed to
work or conduct business in Thailand. A tourist needs a tourist visa so
you can stay in Thailand for a period of 15 or 30 days while doing her
own explorations and excursions in the kingdom. A tourist visa is a
stamp or document needed so you can stay in Thailand for a specific
period of time, on the purpose of tourism. It is stamped on your
passport upon arrival at the airport in Thailand, or it can be obtained
in your home country through the Thai embassy or consulate located
there. The tourist visa can also be extended if necessary. There are
certain countries who made agreements with the government of Thailand so
their citizens can benefit from the visa exemption when entering
Thailand as tourists.
