Thailand is hailed as the travel paradise for wanderlusts. A deluxe Thailand tour will undoubtedly provide unforgettable experiences. Let's explore what Thailand has to offer. And how does a guided tour differ from independent travel!
Why opt for a deluxe Thailand tour over independent travel?
If you've never experienced traveling abroad, a deluxe Thailand tour is the top choice for you. Venturing into a completely unfamiliar place can be daunting, and booking a tour will greatly assist you.
The first advantage of booking a tour is saving more costs compared to independent travel. You also don't need to think about how to plan your itinerary efficiently because the travel company has taken care of that for you.
Typically, Vietnam Booking often includes new and hottest destinations in the tour itinerary. You can refer to some of our 2023 Thailand tours.

Next comes all the transportation throughout the journey, from flights to shuttle buses, all taken care of by the company. You won't have to worry about booking flights or finding suitable transportation. Dining is also not a concern as the travel company has meticulously arranged all of that.
Most notably, there will be Vietnamese-speaking tour guides throughout the trip. Even if you don't speak Thai or English, you won't have any issues. This helps you avoid any confusion compared to traveling independently.
The golden time to go on a deluxe Thailand tour
Thailand has a tropical monsoon climate similar to Vietnam. Therefore, the ideal time to visit Thailand is from November to March. From April to October, Thailand enters the rainy season. These rains are often heavy but short-lived, so they won't significantly affect your itinerary.
Alternatively, you can opt for a deluxe Thailand tour in 2023 during the festival seasons. This is also one of Thailand's peak tourist seasons:

If you're someone who loves shopping and hunting for Thai goods, you can't miss the period from June to August and December. This is when shopping centers often have incredible promotion programs.
What to prepare for a deluxe Thailand tour?
Even if you opt for a deluxe Thailand tour, you still need to prepare some things for your trip. Let's see what you need to prepare!
1. Currency
The currency unit of Thailand is the Thai Baht. So, if you're going on a deluxe Thailand tour, you need to exchange currency for convenience in shopping and living. You can choose to exchange at banks in our country before the trip.
Here, you will exchange according to the standard denominations of the state. However, the process and procedures are quite complicated. If you travel independently, you will have to bring flight ticket confirmation and hotel booking confirmation. In the case of a tour, you should bring the tour contract.
Not every bank is available for currency exchange. So, to save time, you should contact the bank in advance. If you're in Hanoi, you can exchange on Ha Trung Street. However, the rates here may be slightly higher than exchanging at state banks.
Note that in Thailand, both coins and banknotes are used. So, it's best to prepare a zipper wallet to avoid losing coins.

2. Necessary personal documents
Typically, when traveling abroad, we need to bring our passport and visa. However, Vietnamese citizens are exempt from visas when traveling to Thailand. That's why when you go on a luxury tour to Thailand, all you need is to bring your passport. Note that your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of departure.
Passport is always the most important document when traveling to Thailand.
When going on a tour, usually before the trips, the tour organizing department will create a separate group chat. This group is for tour guides and participants of that trip. Important and necessary information will be updated here.
Pay attention to the announcements from the tour guides so that you can follow instructions and requests correctly. Thanks to that, your trip will be smoother and more enjoyable.
Starting from 1/7/2022, according to Thailand's new immigration regulations, vaccinated travelers must have a vaccination certificate. Specifically:
And if you are not vaccinated or have not received enough doses, you must have a Covid-19 test result (rapid test or PCR) issued within 72 hours.
3. Luggage
Going on a luxury tour to Thailand gives you an advance understanding of your itinerary. Based on that, you can choose and prepare suitable clothing for yourself. This will help you avoid carrying heavy loads or bringing unnecessary items.
If there's a temple visit on the itinerary, remember to pack modest and respectful clothing. And if there's a beach excursion, bring along your swimsuit, flip-flops, as well as accessories like wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
Don't forget to pack essential medications such as pain relievers, fever reducers, antacids... There will surely be times when you'll need them!
