Thailand borders Myanmar to the west and north, Laos to the north and northeast, Cambodia to the southeast and Malaysia to the south. People: The people of Thailand are 80 percent Thai, 10 percent Chinese, and three percent Malay. The remaining percent is made up of ethnic communities such as Mon, Khmer and several small hill tribes. Entry Requirements: U.S. visitors staying fewer than 30 days do not need a visa to enter Thailand, although they do need to show a valid passport and proof of a return ticket. C Customs Regulations: Thailand is often called the Land of Smiles, but there’s one area where they’re very serious. Narcotics and obscene material are strictly prohibited from being brought into the country. Narcotic offenders y face severe penalties which may include the death sentence. Tobacco, cigarettes or T cigars should not exceed 250 grams in weight (about 8.8 ounces); cigarettes should not number more than 200. One liter each of wine or spirits may be brought in free of duty. y Climate: Thailand enjoys a tropical climate with three distinct seasons: March to the end of April is hot and dry with average temperatures of 82 to 91 degrees Fahrenheit. May to October is rainy with plenty of sunshine and average daily temperatures of 80 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit. November to February is cool with average temperatures of 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
