Do I need a visa to enter Bangkok?

How many days should I spend in Bangkok?
For a first trip, 2-3 days are ideal. Two days cover the main sights, while three days allow you to take your time and enjoy Bangkok's cuisine, temples, and local neighborhoods at your leisure.
Should I visit Bangkok or Chiang Mai?
Bangkok is better suited for first-time visitors who want to experience the culture, food, and vibrant city life. Chiang Mai, on the other hand, offers a more leisurely pace, mountains, and deeper insights into the traditions of the north.
