Stepping off the Plane

Recommended Posts

Posted

Westerners are very welcome in Thailand and you are going to have a great time when you visit. That said, there will be a period of adjustment to a new country and culture and you should be prepared for what you will face when you step off the plane and arrive in Bangkok.

 

First off, you will have just been on a plane for more than 24 hours. Your muscles will be sore and you will be tired. You will also be suffering through jet lag and adjusting to a new time zone.

 

One thing many do on their first day in Bangkok after a long plane ride is to take a trip to Babylon Sauna or B & N Massage and get a good Thai Massage. This will help you adjust your body to the new time and help you relax. Plus, it feels great! Be sure to look at our Massage guide for the latest information on the best massage places in Bangkok and other cities!

 

Do not plan to do anything intellectually or physically strenuous on your first day and night in Thailand. A plane trip of 20 plus hours is very hard on your body. Take a day to relax and adjust to the new time zone.

 

You will also have to go through Thai customs and passport control. While this may seem obvious to most people, we can not stress it enough. Do not bring any drugs
