6 days. Bangkok + Pattaya. Zero prior solo trips. Total budget: ₹55,000. Here's what actually matters as an Indian traveling solo to Thailand: VISA: Thailand is visa-free for Indians — stamp on arrival. But fill the TDAC form, 1–3 days before you fly. Keep it offline on your phone. Also carry return ticket proof and hotel booking — immigration will ask. BUDGET: 6 days all-in cost me ₹49,000–55,000. Flights (Mumbai–Bangkok return): ₹24,000. Hostel: ₹5,000–6,000. Food: ₹7,000–15,000 depending on whether you eat local or Indian. Activities: ₹6,000–7,000. SIM: Buy AIS at the airport arrivals hall. 7-day unlimited data: 300–350 THB. Do it before you exit — you need maps immediately. TRANSPORT: Use Bolt and Grab only — fixed price, no haggling. Never unmarked cabs. Bangkok to Pattaya: Ekkamai Bus Terminal, 130–140 THB, 2 hours, no booking needed. BIGGEST MISTAKE: Eating Indian food out of comfort early on. Street stalls are cheaper, better, and more of the experience.…
