Visit a Local Market
For 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.
Explore the 'Sois'
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 'Wai' Greeting
The traditional Thai greeting is the 'wai' (a prayer-like gesture with the hands). It's polite to return to wai, especially to elders.
Respect the Monarchy
The Thai Royal Family is deeply respected. Never make critical or disrespectful comments about them.
Drink Bottled Water
It's not recommended to drink tap water. Bottled water is cheap and widely available everywhere.
Beware of Mosquitoes
Especially during the rainy season, use mosquito repellent to protect against dengue fever. Most hotels provide mosquito nets or screens.
Scooter Safety
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.
Temple Etiquette
Dress respectfully when visiting temples: cover your shoulders and knees. Remove your shoes before entering temple buildings.
