Dominated by 'baht buses' (songthaews), which are a very cheap and peculiar way of getting around. Taxis and tuk-tuks are a challenge.

View full guideCoral Island is beautiful, but it gets crowded on the weekends. Visit Monday through Thursday for a much quieter experience.
Get away from the madness of the south and explore the Naklua neighborhood. Visit its fish market, eat at its local restaurants and observe the life of the fishermen.
In Thai culture, losing your temper or raising your voice is considered highly disrespectful. Any problem will be best resolved with patience and a smile.
Although foreigners are not expected to initiate it, if someone greets you with a 'wai' (placing your palms together), it is polite to return the gesture.
Essential. Private hospitals for tourists are of good quality but very expensive.
Drink plenty of bottled water to combat the heat and humidity.
Never enter a bar that seems empty and where they insist on you a lot. Beware of inflated bills and charges for 'shows' you didn't ask for. Pay for each drink instantly.
In Pattaya, 'tuk-tuks' are actually 'songthaews' (vans). Those that run on fixed routes are cheap (10-20 baht). If you rent it as a private taxi, negotiate the price BEFORE you get in, as it will be much more expensive.
