✅ Dos for a Smooth & Enriching Experience
- Dress modestly at temples: Shoulders and knees must be covered; bring a scarf or shawl for flexibility.
- Use polite language: Add “krub” (for men) or “ka” (for women) to sound respectful.
- Use Grab or Bolt for transport: Safer and more affordable than hailing taxis or tuk-tuks.
- Try local cuisine: Pad Thai, Tom Yum Goong, mango sticky rice, and Phuket-style seafood are musts.
- Book tours in advance: Island hopping, dinner cruises, and cultural shows fill up quickly.
- Smile often: Thai culture values friendliness—smiles go a long way.
- Respect the monarchy and religion: Stand during national anthems and avoid negative remarks.
🚫 Don’ts to Avoid
- Don’t wear beachwear in temples or city areas: Always carry a cover-up or sarong.
- Avoid touching anyone’s head or pointing feet at Buddha statues: Considered disrespectful.
- Don’t fall for “closed temple” or gem scams: Verify with your hotel or official sources.
- Skip unethical animal attractions: Choose sanctuaries like Phuket Elephant Sanctuary over elephant rides.
- Don’t sunbathe topless: It’s frowned upon in public areas.
- Avoid loud or disruptive behavior in sacred or quiet zones: Thai culture values calm and courtesy.
- Be cautious with jet-ski rentals: Scams involving false damage claims are common.
