Thailand ' S Own Journey

Today, very many travelers prefer to Thailand on their ownwithout the help of tourist agencies. In the first place, this approach provides an opportunity to save considerable resources by requiring tourists to deal with all organizational matters without costly intermediaries.

In fact, tourism firms offer only three services:

• ∙ Freight, with the most frequent use of passengers not being too comfortable charter flights
• :: Airport transfer to hotel
• :: The sale of guided tours, often in the cost of travel, includes two to three sights

With regard to hotel reservations, tourists tended to have to choose from several options proposed by the agency, which meant that time and effort were still being spent on gathering information: ascertaining the exact location of the hotel, accessing services and reading feedback. Planning to Thailand on its owntourists are able to choose a convenient route, a good air carrier, a comfortable and accessible hotel. Given the current capacity to book hotels and book Internet tickets, it would not be difficult to organize such a visit, it would only be necessary to know a few simple rules.

In addition to savings, there are other benefits - the journey itself significantly increases the opportunity to meet someone else ' s country and allows it to be known much more than it would be possible through standard tour guides.

Visa and other documents

Russian citizens will not need a visa to enter Thailand. However, the maximum stay of 30 days must be respected. A fine of 1,000 baht (1 baht is approximately 1 rouble) is imposed for each day. At the airport, a border police officer should be charged with foreign passports valid for the duration of the journey and at the time of departure from Thailand, as well as a completed migration card, where the traveller provides general information, name, sex, nationality, etc., and the dates of arrival and departure. The paper must be filled with printed capital letters using Latin alphabet. The completion of Thailand ' s migration card is a very simple process, and usually does not take a little time. If necessary, tourists will be able to translate unfamiliar phrases and tell us how to correctly complete the map.
