Entry basics
Passport validity: at least 6 months beyond your date of entry into Thailand.
Proof of funds (spot-check): immigration may ask for cash equivalent to ฿20,000 per person on arrival. Enforcement is inconsistent but non-zero, especially for solo travellers on one-way tickets.
Common issues for India passport holders
- India got 60-day visa-exempt in 2024 — massive uptick in Pattaya visitors
- OCI cardholders may still need visa — check status
- Indian community in Pattaya centred on Central Rd; Indian restaurants widespread
