Thailand is a favourite for travellers who want culture, food, beaches and value in one trip. It works well for couples, groups of friends and families.
A classic first route is Bangkok for temples and markets, then Phuket and the Andaman islands for the beach.
Getting there from Entebbe
Flights from Entebbe to Bangkok usually connect through Dubai, Doha, Addis Ababa or Istanbul, and the total journey is long. A one-night stop in the hub city can make it easier. We confirm visa and health document requirements for Ugandan passport holders, including yellow fever certificate rules for travellers from risk countries.
Best time to go
November to February is cool and dry, which is peak season. March to May is hot, and June to October is the rainy season, with fewer crowds and lower prices, especially on the Andaman coast.
Things to do
- Grand Palace and Wat Pho. Bangkok's most famous temples. Cover shoulders and knees.
- Chao Phraya river boat. A cheap and scenic way to see the city.
- Phi Phi Islands and Phang Nga Bay. Boat tours through limestone cliffs and clear water.
- Elephant sanctuaries. Choose ethical places that do not offer rides.
- Street food and night markets. Bangkok and Phuket are great for food.
Tips for Ugandan travellers
- Allow extra time at the start to recover from the long flight.
- Choose island-hopping tours with good safety records, especially in the rainy season.
- Carry some cash for markets and small shops.
