Just like Thailand is India’s first pick for an international vacation destination, India ranks high on Thai travellers’ bucket list for a tropical getaway. And now, close at the heels of Thailand’s temporary visa exemption for Indian nationals from May 2024 to November 2024, India has announced a similar move for Thai travellers. And there couldn’t be a better time to visit India, since the monsoon is knocking on our doorsteps.
This move signifies a positive step towards increased tourism and cultural exchange between the two countries. The visa exemption is likely to lead to a surge in Thai visitors to India, benefitting the tourism industry of both countries. This can lead to a wider range of travel options and potentially lower travel costs due to increased competition among airlines and travel agencies.
What Thai Travellers Can See In India
Thailand’s visa-free access to India opens a plethora of experiences! You can immerse yourself in the majestic Taj Mahal, a monument to love. Explore the bustling bazaars of Delhi, or unwind on the serene beaches of Goa. History buffs can also explore ancient forts like Mehrangarh or the timeless ruins of Hampi.
Nature lovers will find paradise in Kerala’s backwaters or the majestic Himalayas. And if you’re travelling to India in the second half of the year, don’t miss the vibrant festivals like Holi, Diwali, or Durga Puja, where India’s rich culture comes alive in myriad colours. From spiritual journeys to culinary adventures, India offers something for every Thai traveller.
