Traveler Tips:
Thais use a pose called the ‘wai’ as a form of paying respect and greeting. You can do it by pressing your hands together in a prayer-like fashion and bowing slightly.
If you use a taxi, always make sure that the fare meter is on. Never take a taxi if the driver asks for a sum of money.
It is considered inappropriate in Thailand to show affection, e.g. kiss, in public places.
Think twice before you hug or touch the opposite gender in Thailand.
Thais just love to help and most of the younger generation understand English.
If you go to famous tourist attractions and the locals say it is closed, then offer you another attraction package; it is most likely a scam. Always go in and check with the attraction’s official representative.
