Typically, passengers are allowed one carry-on bag and one personal item (for example a purse, laptop bag, or backpack). Personal items must fit under the seat in front of you.

Thailand uses the Thai Baht (THB) as its currency.

In Bangkok, travelers should be cautious of common scams such as tuk-tuk drivers offering overly cheap tours that lead to unwanted stops at shops, and gem scams where overpriced or fake jewelry is sold. Pickpocketing and bag snatching can occur in crowded areas and on public transport. It's advisable to use official taxis or ride-hailing apps, avoid accepting unsolicited offers for tours, and stay alert in busy markets and tourist spots.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
