Visas
  Travelling from many countries, there is no need for a travel visa before you go to Thailand, as Thai immigration will stamp your passport, free of charge, with a 30 day holiday visa exeption permit. If you don't pass through immigration at Bangkok, you will have to do so at Phuket. Your passport should be valid for at least six months from the date of your arrival in Thailand. If you intend to stay for more than 30 days, you should apply for a longer stay visa, before you travel. Under some cicumstances, you can obtain a 7 day holiday extension visa, from the Phuket Immigration Office in Phuket Town.
