Thailand Tourism - Tips And Travel Info
In Thailand tourism is very well developed. If you want to make your trip to Thailand even more fun then in addition to knowing what to do you should also know what NOT to do. It is always better to go prepared so that you don't offend anyone. The population of Thailand is mainly made up of Buddhists, and it would be wise to learn the basics of that culture before you enter Thailand. Thailand Tourism - Things You Should KnowIt's a good idea to learn a few Thai words and expressions. It will make your visit much more fun. Thais love it when you make an attempt to speak their language. Thai people, in general, are very clean and expect the other person to be clean and tidy too. You should also wear the correct type of clothes when you are out in public. Wearing very tight shorts, hot pants, mini skirts or exposing too many parts of your body will not be appreciated by the locals, except on beaches frequented by foreigners. 
Thais also have great respect for the monarchy that includes the king and his royal family. Cracking jokes or commenting negatively about the monarchy could get you in much more trouble than just a frown. You should also treat Thai currency including coins with respect since they carry the king's image on them. You might also notice many Buddhist monks roaming around Thailand, especially in and around temples. If you do wish to make a donation then you can do so, although if you are a woman then you will have to keep the donation on a cloth at the monk's feet without touching him while also ensuring that you do not make any physical contact with any monk and that includes not even accidental brushing. You should also make sure that you remove your footwear when you enter in any temple or mosque or in someone's home and also make sure that your feet face away from the other person when you are seated, as this is considered discourteous. You should also make sure that you do not shower physical affection on another person by holding hands or kissing in public since it is frowned upon in Thai society.
You should also shop at reputed shops only. Stay away from people that try to help you aggressively and lead you to shops that they claim are good since this will only fetch them a fat discount/commission paid to them with your money. You can certainly enjoy your stay in Thailand in a better manner if you respect local customs and cultures. You will certainly earn the goodwill of Thai people who are always very pleasant to deal with. This country has a fascinating culture and a basic understanding of that culture will certainly be rewarded with a smile, a thank you and an offer to visit Thailand again.
