Thailand Is Visa-Free for Indians in 2026 — Here's Everything You Need to Know
Thailand remains India's favourite international getaway, and 2026 made it even easier: Indian passport holders get visa-free entry for up to 60 days. No embassy visit, no pre-approval — just book your flight and fly. With Bangkok's street life, Pattaya's beaches and Phuket's islands all a 3–4 hour flight away, Thailand is the perfect first international trip.
