Entry requirements for travel to Thailand

A lot of nationalities simply get a thirty day, free, tourist visa on arrival (if arriving by
air, it's 15 days if you come overland). You can usually extend this once, for an
additional thirty days, for a fee. For less fortunate nationalities, it's fairly simple to
sort out a Thai tourist visa before you arrive - I recommend ​VisaHQ​ if you want
minimum hassle.

Backpacker accommodation in Thailand

For me, one of the most exciting things about being on the road is meeting new
people and staying in new places. And what better place than Thailand to really jump
into backpacker culture by staying in some of the most kickass hostels in South East
Asia. These backpacker meccas are great for meeting fellow travellers, exchanging
exciting travel stories and just chilling out.
Here are some of my favourite hostels on the Thailand backpacking route:

Bangkok Smile Society hostel, My favourite hostel here was the Smile
Bodega, Bed Station Society hostel - a cozy little place,

Hostel conveniently located to explore nearby
spots.

​Chiang Mai S*Trips - The Poshtel,
Plearn, Thai Thai S*Trips - The Poshtel ​is a kickass
hostel and just a walk away from the
Night Bazaar where you can try some
amazing local food. They have reliable
wifi too.

Khao Yai Pakchong Hotel
National Park Considering it is a national park, the
properties around this area are slightly
on the expensive side. A super cheap
option is the Pakchong Hotel. It's best
you book in advance so you can get a
confirmed reservation before venturing
out.
