Be careful with your passport
Be careful with your passport when traveling to Thailand. It is not advisable to carry your passport with you as incidents of theft are not uncommon. Petty criminals often target tourists, so it's essential to keep your passport safe in your hotel room. Losing your passport can put a halt to your travel.
Carry Thai currency with you
Thailand primarily operates using the Thai Baht (THB). It is wise to carry around 10,000 THB, i.e. around 23,000 Indian Rupees, for your convenience. Currency exchange is readily available, but it may be helpful to have some Thai currency on hand.
