If you are from the US, Australia, Canada, or New Zealand, you must obtain a visa before arrival. The E-Visa (valid for up to 90 days) is the easiest option, available online in 3-5 days. Visa on Arrival (VOA) requires a pre-approval letter, or you can apply at a Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate.

We don't impose a deadline, but it's best that you book your trips, as well as the circuit itself, as soon as possible. In fact, the earlier we make reservations, the better the services will be, knowing that the most appreciated providers often lack availability. Therefore, our clients often book their trip 4 to 6 months in advance.
Yes, you can set a period with the weeks that suits you best or allows you to buy the cheapest flight tickets. Then we will tailor our program for you. Keep in mind that being an agency specialized in tailor-made trips, we know how to design a tour according to your availability.
It is a formula according to which your tour is designed according to your wishes for dates, length of stay and services, taking into account your centers of interest and your budget. A local advisor from the agency accompanies you in the preparation of the itinerary and the development of your trips. This way you benefit from an organized trip, adapted in every detail to your wishes and limitations.
The first thing to know is that generally the weather in Thailand is hot and humid in most of the country for much of the year. The climate is influenced by the tropical monsoons, which divide the climate into three seasons: the hot season, the cold season, and the rainy season.
The rainy season or southwest monsoon occurs from mid-May to mid-October. This monsoon mainly affects southwestern Thailand, including central and northern cities such as Bangkok and Chiang Mai, as well as the coastal areas of Phuket and Krabi. During this period, rainfall is heavier, especially in August and September. If you plan to visit the beaches, you may want to avoid Phuket and Krabi during this season. However, if you still want to enjoy the beach, the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Angthong usually have more favourable weather at that time.
It's important to note that even though the rainy season isn't the best time to visit Thailand, this doesn't mean you can't. Rainfall is usually intermittent, with periods of heavy rain followed by sunshine. This means that you can still visit the destinations without any hassle. In addition, traveling during the rainy season can give you a unique and different experience, and it is also the off-season of tourism in Thailand, so the costs are usually lower and more reasonable.
Undoubtedly, if the weather is your main concern when planning your trip to Thailand, we recommend considering the dry season, which runs from November to February. During this period, Thailand experiences its dry season, with sunny days and little rainfall. The climate is very pleasant, it is not too hot and it does not rain often, which makes it ideal for tourist activities and exploring the country.
However, keep in mind that this is also the busiest period for tourists in Thailand, so you may find higher prices and more people in popular destinations.
Additionally, there may be weather variations in different parts of the country, so it's important to do your research and take into account the specific conditions of the regions you plan to visit.
We will be happy to assist you and provide you with more information about the weather and any other queries you may have for your trip to Thailand.
Due to the terrain and geographical location, the climate in Vietnam is quite diverse from north to south.
When one area is wet, cold, or rainy, another may be sunny and dry. In our experience, the best time to travel to Vietnam is from October to April. More specifically, the best months are from October to November and mid-March to May, when the weather is pleasant, with little rainfall, conducive to a variety of tourist activities.
In July and August it is a bit hot (30-35 degrees), but Ha Long Bay is usually sunny. You'll also have the chance to see the northern mountains adorned with green or yellow rice fields and terraces that stretch as far as the eye can see. Meanwhile, in the south it's the rainy season, but the rains don't last all day, just an hour or two. The remaining days are sunny.
No, therefore a client of ours has to hire it personally on their behalf. These insurances are not expensive and you can get them easily. Our travelers often have contracts with large international insurance companies or those from their home countries.
Another topic that gets a lot of attention in Thailand's tourism is vaccination.
According to the latest announcements in October 2022, there is no mandatory vaccination to enter Thailand, including the Covid-19 vaccine. Only Argentines are exempt and need to be certified as a yellow fever vaccine to enter the country. Although not required, there are some major recommended vaccines, such as the hepatitis A, tetanus-diphtheria, and typhoid vaccine.
If you are still concerned about vaccination, you can consult the international vaccination center, your doctor, or the Thai embassy in your country for more information.
For tourists from the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, and most EU countries, a Thailand Tourist Visa is issued by a Thai Embassy, Consulate, or e-visa system for tourism purposes, unlike the 60-day visa exemption (extendable by 30 days) granted on arrival. Work is not allowed.
