TLDR : Answer Summary

Thailand does not currently allow visa on arrival; travelers from certain countries must obtain a tourist visa in advance from their embassy. Additionally, a Certificate of Entry (CoE) is required for all travelers before entering Thailand.

Thailand does NOT allow "visa on arrival" (the countries that allow a person to purchase a tourist visa on arrival, which is valid for 15 days).

If your passport is from one of these countries:

Bulgaria Fiji Mexico Taiwan

Bhutan Georgia Nauru Uzbekistan

China India Papua New Guinea Vanuatu

Cyprus Kazakhstan Romania

Ethiopia Malta Saudi Arabia

You need a tourist visa purchased from the embassy before entering. Note: tourist visas are not being sold to Indians right now.

>do I need to apply COE and go for visa on arrival

Everyone needs a CoE before being allowed to enter Thailand

people flying from India cannot enter. Indians can still obtain a visa (eg flying from London)
