Tips for Family

move your head

The side head 'nod' can mean 'yes', 'okay' or 'I understand'. It is very common and friendly.

Right hand use

Traditionally, eating and handing objects are done with the right hand.

Tuk-tuk with meter

Always make sure the tuk-tuk has a 'Meter' (taximeter) or use apps like PickMe or Uber to avoid inflated prices.

Respect in Temples

Cover shoulders and knees when entering temples. Take off your shoes and hats. Never turn your back on a Buddha statue for a photo.
