From 1 May 2025, all international visitors are asked to submit the newly launched Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) at least three days before their arrival date, to ensure a smooth and convenient immigration process. Completion of the TDAC is mandatory for all foreign passport holders, regardless of the purpose of their visit, and exceptions only apply to travellers transiting through Thailand without passing an immigration point. Filling out the form is a straightforward process and you will need to include some information on your travel documents, accommodation in Thailand and a basic health declaration. You can fill out your form here.
In Thailand, we believe that diversity is amazing. As the most LGBTQ / LGBT+ welcoming country in Asia, we’re proud that the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans community – and all people – no matter how they identify; and whom they love; feel free when traveling in Thailand on vacation or holiday. We have something for everyone. Yes, there are LGBT+ events, parties and nightlife, but beyond that, we offer rich culture, delicious food, unique local experiences, unparalleled luxury, spellbinding getaways and an experiential break of a lifetime, not to mention some fantastic gay friendly hotels and resorts. Come visit us and find out for yourself, but in the meantime, let us inspire you with stories that will make you want to go Thai; and be free.
Thailand welcomes every color under the rainbow; and has something for everyone, whatever your interests. Whether you’re a fashionista or a foodie, or a street-fighter or sun-worshipper, a hedonist or history buff. Let us whet your appetite with some divine inspiration below.
