Experience of the Best 6-day Sightseeing in Thailand

Before you go

You must make sure you have brought all your personal items (medical medications, toothbrushes and toothpaste, and certain medications you need) before flying to Thailand. You have to exchange your money for Thai currency - Baht. You should pack just enough clothes and shoes to move around easily and comfortably.

In particular, you need to pay attention to a number of things to note, such as the customs and habits of the indigenous people where you are going to visit in Thailand.
