Infectious DiseasesIn Thailand, the following infectious diseases, which are rarely or rarely widespread in Germany or Central and Northern Europe, are to be expected:
Vaccination recommendations When traveling to Thailand, the following vaccinations recommended:
Compulsory vaccination There is a compulsory vaccination against yellow fever for all persons older than one year and arriving from a yellow fever infection area designated by the WHO. Yellow fever vaccination of children For vaccination of children, the following must be stated: Vaccination against yellow fever can cause dangerous side effects such as B. Inflammation of the brain (encephalitis). Around two thirds of those affected are children under six months. Therefore, under no circumstances should children under this age be vaccinated. Children under one year of age should also not be vaccinated if possible. If in doubt, you should not travel to yellow fever infection areas with small children. The vaccination against yellow fever may only be carried out in specially authorized yellow fever vaccination centers! Malaria prophylaxis When traveling to the malaria areas of Thailand, it is highly recommended to undergo malaria prophylaxis. If the side effects appear questionable to you, you should at least have an emergency preparation ("stand-by preparation") with you.

In this case, entry is only permitted if a confirmed onward or return ticket is presented in addition to the passport, which must be valid for at least six months. This residence permit cannot be extended. The German child ID card is not recognized in Thailand. Children are only allowed to enter with their own passport. If children are only entered in their parents' passport, difficulties can arise when entering the country. Minors traveling alone require an official declaration of consent from the legal guardian. German citizens who want to stay in Thailand for more than 30 days need a visa, which must be issued by a Thai diplomatic mission before entering the country. For stays of up to 60 days it is a tourist visa, for stays of up to 90 days it is a non-immigrant visa. Both can be extended by 30 days each. Extensions are possible at the Thai Bureau of Immigration or at the border crossings.

Departure fee In many countries, a fee must be paid when leaving the country. When leaving Thailand, this fee is 500 baht. Import and export of goods The export of certain antiques (e.g. Buddha statues) from Thailand is only permitted with the permission of the Fine Arts Department. A leaflet with further information is available at the embassy. The import and export of narcotics, pornographic documents, weapons, ammunition or explosives is strictly prohibited. In addition, the import and export of plants and animals protected by the Washington Species Protection Act or leather products made from these animals (e.g. elephants, snakes, crocodiles) and ivory is prohibited. Violation can result in severe penalties. Items of personal use such as clothing and cosmetics in appropriate quantities (200 cigarettes, 250g tobacco and one liter of wine or spirits) may be imported duty-free. One film camera and/or one camera and five rolls of film per camera / machine can be imported duty-free. Additional devices must be declared upon entry; a customs fee of 40% of the total value is levied on additional film material. Traveling with pets For the owners of dogs and other animals, when traveling abroad, the question arises whether they can even take their animals with them to the chosen travel destination, and if that is possible, then of course the question of the respective applicable conditions arises. Here with us you will find all the important information on this topic, seriously researched at the embassies, the Foreign Office or the ADAC. Pets that are to be imported into Thailand require an official health certificate. This must confirm that the animal does not suffer from any infectious diseases and contain information on the sex, breed, age and color of the pet. All pets must have been vaccinated against rabies at least 15 days prior to entry. In addition, it must be ensured that the animal has not come into contact with the rabies pathogen in the past three years. All animals may have stayed in their country of origin for at least six months prior to entry. Dogs must also be vaccinated against leptospirosis. A general entry ban applies to Pitbull Terriers and Staffordshire Terriers. It is recommended that you contact the airport prior to arriving in Thailand to arrange for pets to be imported.

Exchange rate You can find a currency converter here: www3.forium.de Bank opening hours Monday - Friday 9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Shop Shop opening times In Thailand there are no regular shop opening times, which is why many shops and markets are open every day from morning to late evening. Monday - Sunday 9:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. Cheap or country-specific goods, souvenirs In addition to Thai handicrafts such as carvings, furniture, jewelry, ceramic products, fabrics and silver goods, certain luxury items (clothing, glasses, sneakers, etc.) can be bought cheaply. Haggling over the selling price is part of every purchase in Thailand.
