Thailand requires your passport to stay valid for at least 6 months beyond your entry date.
Airlines routinely deny boarding at check-in if your passport doesn't meet the destination's stated validity rule, even before you reach immigration — it's worth checking well before you book, not just before you fly.
No — passport validity and visa requirements are separate checks. Enforced strictly at check-in — airlines routinely deny boarding over this, even when actual Thai immigration practice is sometimes more lenient.
