✅ Dos for a Refreshing Thailand Experience
- Dress modestly at temples: Cover shoulders and knees; remove shoes before entering sacred sites.
- Use polite language: Add “krub” (for men) or “ka” (for women) to sound respectful.
- Try local cuisine: Pad Thai, mango sticky rice, Tom Yum Goong, and Phuket-style seafood are musts.
- Book activities early: Island tours, dinner cruises, and cultural shows fill up quickly.
- Use Grab or Bolt for transport: Reliable and affordable in both cities.
- 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 people or Buddha statues: These are considered disrespectful.
- Don’t fall for “closed temple” or gem scams: Always verify with your hotel or official sources.
- Skip unethical animal attractions: Choose sanctuaries over elephant rides or tiger selfies.
- Don’t sunbathe topless: It’s frowned upon in public areas.
- Avoid loud or aggressive behavior: Thai culture values calm and courtesy.
