Returning to Thailand<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Luxembourg to Thailand \u2014 April 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After visiting Thailand during the rainy season in 2024, I decide to return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next journey is planned for April 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thailand is no longer simply an unknown destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is now a country where someone important is waiting.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Luxembourg to Zurich<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The journey begins at Luxembourg Airport on 31 March 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flight departs at 14:55 with Helvetic Airways to Zurich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scheduled arrival is at 15:50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After arriving in Zurich, I pass passport control and take the airport train to the international gates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next flight departs at 17:55 with Swiss International Air Lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The destination is Bangkok.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Arrival in Bangkok<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The scheduled arrival at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport is 1 April 2025 at 09:45.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After arriving, I again take the airport train from the international gates to the main building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the way to passport control, I change my clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of this journey, I am able to enter Thailand without obtaining a visa in advance under the entry conditions that apply to my nationality and travel period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After passport control, I collect my luggage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And once again, I am lucky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My girlfriend is waiting for me at the airport exit.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Mobile Internet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before leaving Luxembourg, I purchase a tourist AIS eSIM for 60 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with my previous journey, buying the eSIM before departure is more expensive than purchasing a prepaid SIM card after arriving in Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, activating the eSIM before boarding allows me to use the internet shortly after landing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, the convenience of having internet immediately available is useful.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Exchanging Money<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Again, I exchange euros for Thai baht at Superrich exchange offices or counters in shopping centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on my personal experience, I compare the available rates before exchanging money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I again find that 100-euro banknotes can receive a slightly better rate than 50-euro banknotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exchange rates can change, so this remains a personal observation from my journeys.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

From Suvarnabhumi Airport to Bangkok<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My girlfriend again picks me up at the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We leave Suvarnabhumi Airport in her car and drive towards Bangkok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travelling with someone who speaks Thai is extremely helpful, particularly outside the major cities where English is not always widely spoken.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
