Ver guía completaFor a truly authentic experience, visit a neighborhood market like Siri Wattana (Thanin Market) instead of the tourist-focused ones. It's a feast for the senses.
Wander down the small alleys ('sois') within the Old City to discover charming cafes, quiet temples, and a glimpse into local life away from the main roads.
The traditional Thai greeting is the 'wai' (a prayer-like gesture with the hands). It's polite to return to wai, especially to elders.
The Thai Royal Family is deeply respected. Never make critical or disrespectful comments about them.
It's not recommended to drink tap water. Bottled water is cheap and widely available everywhere.
Especially during the rainy season, use mosquito repellent to protect against dengue fever. Most hotels provide mosquito nets or screens.
Renting a scooter is popular but be very careful. Traffic can be chaotic. Always wear a helmet, have an international driving permit, and be insured.
Dress respectfully when visiting temples: cover your shoulders and knees. Remove your shoes before entering temple buildings.
