Koh Mak Resort | Beachhouse “Up”

German nationals do not generally require a visa for tourist stays, which must be obtained before entering the country. Travelers require a visa if they cannot prove their onward or return journey with a flight ticket or a bus or train ticket. The permitted length of stay is determined by the immigration authorities on arrival: A maximum stay of 30 days is permitted when entering the country by air or land. A one-time extension of the visa-free stay by a further maximum. 30 days for tourism purposes only is possible. The extension of the visa must be applied for at the competent Thai immigration authority before expiry of the permitted visa-free stay.

A passport with a validity of at least 6 months from the date of entry is required to enter Thailand. No exceptions are made.

We recommend that you take out travel insurance. Depending on the insurance package, this can include trip cancellation due to illness, job change or similar serious reasons. In addition, you can also insure against premature trip interruption and appropriate medical treatment at the vacation destination.

In Bangkok, payment with major credit cards is possible at Pullman G, most restaurants and malls. On Koh Mak you can pay in your resorts with Mastercard & Visa. Only cash payment is possible in restaurants.

You don’t need to exchange Thai baht in your home country. The exchange rate in Bangkok is much better and Bangkok’s best exchange office is located opposite the hotel.
