Bangkok FAQ
Do Ugandans need a visa for Thailand?
Ugandan passport holders can obtain a Visa on Arrival (VOA) at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) for 30 days, costing 2,000 Thai Baht (approximately USD 55). Radiant Tours advises on the complete process and documentation required.
How do you get from Kampala to Bangkok?
There are no direct flights from Entebbe to Bangkok. Common routes are via Dubai (Emirates + Thai Airways), Doha (Qatar Airways), Nairobi (Kenya Airways + Thai Airways), or Abu Dhabi (Etihad). Total journey time is 10–14 hours depending on connection.
How far is Pattaya from Bangkok airport?
Pattaya is approximately 120km south-east of Suvarnabhumi Airport and about 150km from Bangkok city centre. The journey takes 1.5–2 hours by road. Our packages include comfortable transfers between Bangkok and Pattaya.
When is the best time to visit Thailand?
November to February is ideal — the cool dry season with temperatures of 25–32°C. March–April is hot but good value. The monsoon season (May–October) brings heavy rain, especially in the south, though prices drop significantly.
Is Thailand safe for first-time travellers from Uganda?
Thailand is one of the world's most visited countries and very safe for tourists. Standard precautions apply — keep valuables secure, use reputable transport, and be mindful in busy tourist areas. Our packages include experienced local handlers.
