Tourism in Thailand
| |
 |
It is customary to remove your shoes when entering a Thai home. This is not only a religious custom but also has practical consequences. Further, it is also rude to point your feet at anyone or use your feet to make any sort of indication. |
| |
|
The King and the Royal Family are held in extremely high regard by the Thai people. Do not do or say anything that may be interpreted as slighting the Royal Family. The same behaviour applies to any object - such as money bearing the King's image. |
| |
|
Show respect at all times for Buddhism and anything associated with the Buddhist religion. Where conservative clothes when entering Buddhist temples - singlets and shorts are unacceptable. |
| |
|
Do not export any Buddha images, works of art or antiques. If you are taking antiques out of Thailand, please check with the Chiang Mai National Museum first (221308). |
| |
|
Hands placed together in greeting is called a 'wai'. Do not initiate a 'wai', only reply to one. Do not 'wai' servants and children. |
| |
|
As with touring anywhere in the world, take care of valuable such as passports and money. |
| |
|
Do not drink the tap water - there is plenty of bottled water available. |
| |
|
You will travel frequently by taxi or tuk tuk. Note that it is customary to settle the fare before the journey.
