The Embassy has also reminded travelers to fill out the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) within 72 hours prior to their arrival in Thailand.
Furthermore, the advisory indicates that visitors should obtain the appropriate visa based on their travel purpose.
Tourists utilizing the visa waiver or Visa on Arrival (VOA) option are advised to carry a minimum of 20,000 Thai Baht (THB) (approximately ₹57,467 at today’s exchange rate) in cash per traveler.
