Fre­quent­ly asked ques­ti­ons about Thailand

Even if the tap water in Bang­kok is con­side­red drinkable, it is defi­ni­te­ly not advi­sa­ble for any other place. It is the­r­e­fo­re bet­ter to use fil­te­red water. 

Thai­land uses type A and B power plugs (as in the USA), but also type C, which is the stan­dard in Euro­pe. If you want to be on the safe side, pack an adapter. 

Unfort­u­na­te­ly, all banks in Thai­land char­ge a with­dra­wal fee of 220 Bahnt (approx. 6€). The­r­e­fo­re, my tip: Always with­draw as much as pos­si­ble so that with­dra­wals are kept to a minimum. 

Unfo­re­seen cir­cum­s­tances can always occur on a trip, such as ill­ness or medi­cal emer­gen­ci­es. With tra­vel insu­rance, you are pro­tec­ted and can relax and enjoy your vacation.
