The reason why Thai people can travel to these countries visa-free

Thai people can enter many countries around the world without a visa because of the international visa exemption policy, which means that they allow Thais to stay in their country for a certain period without a visa in advance, with factors such as

Diplomat Relationship: Thailand has good diplomatic relations with many countries. The visa waiver policy is to strengthen relations and promote tourism, trade, and investment.
Promote tourism: The visa waiver will help attract tourists from Thailand, stimulate the economy, create jobs, and generate income.
Convenience: Tourists from Thailand can get to these countries conveniently and quickly without having to go through the difficult process of obtaining a visa.

In addition to these 34 countries, if Thai people wish to travel abroad for a short period of one week but do not want to waste time on a visa in advance, they can apply for a Visa on Arrival (VOA).

Visa on Arrival (VOA) is intended for those who have entered the country. They can be obtained from the immigration authorization channel. There are conditions for tourism and staying for no more than a specified number of days.

It can be simply said that if you travel to the country with these conditions, you don’t need to get a visa in Thailand in advance, but you can proceed through immigration checkpoints at airports that are convenient and fast.
