I fly to Thailand every January for 30 days vacation, is the passport enough?

-------------

Ich du jedesmal Januar nach Thailand Fliegen für 30 Tage Urlaub reicht da der Reisepass?
Answer summary
A German passport holder can enter Thailand without a visa for a 60-day stay, which is sufficient for a 30-day vacation. However, travelers should check the latest regulations, as there are discussions about possibly reducing the duration back to 30 days. Additionally, a TDAC must be obtained within three days of arrival.

What have you done in the past ?

The only difference now is you'll need TDAC within 3 days of arrival

You didn't say what passport, so impossible to answer your question.

Since you wrote your post in German, I'll assume it's a German passport. If that's the case, then you are currently entitled to a 60-day visa exempt entry if you arrive without a visa. The government is discussing changing that back to 30-days, but that would still be enough for a 30 day vacation.
