Unfortunately, this itinerary isn’t suited for young kids. The age requirement is 16 years old and up.
Vaccine requirements are based on what the country requires; we use Sherpa to assess that. Currently, Covid-19 vaccines aren’t required for entry to Thailand (if coming from the US), but you could be pulled for random testing upon arrival.
For any other vaccines, we use the US State Department to determine what, if anything, is required. We also encourage people to chat with their doctor before traveling to asses individual needs as everyone’s health is different.

Tips for Vegans in Thailand
Finding vegan options isn’t too difficult in most major cities in Thailand, as a mostly vegetarian diet is quite common and connected to Buddhist spiritual practices. You will find that the country does have a love of fresh fruits and veggies, but you have to watch out for sneaky non-vegan ingredients like fish sauce or animal broth.
In major cities and tourist destinations like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket, you’ll find a growing number of vegetarian and vegan restaurants catering to both locals and international visitors. These establishments offer a wide range of vegan options.
Additionally, Thai markets and supermarkets often have a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, tofu, and vegan products.
Before you go, it’s important to jot down these key phrases to ensure a smooth, vegan-friendly trip!
- I am vegan (if you’re a woman): chan ghin jay
- I am vegan (if you’re a man): pom ghin jay
- I don’t eat fish sauce: chan/pom mai ghin nam pla
- I don’t eat egg: chan/pom mai ghin kai
- Vegan (Buddist vegan, also omits alcohol, garlic and coriander): jay
One more important note, if you’re vegetarian, it doesn’t necessarily mean the same in Thailand as it does in other places. Being vegetarian or “mang sa wirat” (literally translates to no meat) means you don’t eat noticeable meat or fish, but things like meat stock, fish sauce, or other animal products are fair game.
