About Bangkok
Thailand's capital sprawls along the Chao Phraya river, and moving around it shapes the trip: the BTS Skytrain, MRT metro and river boats reach most of what visitors want, while traffic makes road journeys slow. Temples and the Grand Palace are ticketed, and street food is everywhere. Hot and humid year round, wettest from about May to October, coolest and driest from November to February.

Working out the whole-trip estimate: travel, stay, food and local transport for your dates and party.
For your medical trip
Visa for your medical trip to Thailand
From official government pages, checked 10 Sep 2026.
- •Apply online on the official Thai e-Visa site, through the Thai embassy or consulate that serves your country of residence.
- •Your hospital in Thailand writes the letter the application needs, giving the purpose and length of the treatment.
- •Every traveller completes the TDAC arrival card within 3 days before arriving. It is free, and it is not a visa.
- •Thailand's visa exemption and visa on arrival are for tourism only. New lists for both apply from 15 September 2026.
Our guidance, not an official rule: We do not suggest entering visa-exempt as a tourist for planned treatment: the exemption is for tourism, and the medical visas exist for treatment.
