: 4. What should you pay attention to when going to Thailand?
1. The head is sacred and inviolable.
In Thailand, don’t touch other people’s heads. Thai people think the head is the most sacred, so children should try not to do this. When one person passes something to another person, never pass it on to the other person positively.
2. Make a wish and return to God
Thailand is a Buddhist country, and more than 90% of the people believe in Buddhism. There are many temples in Thailand, such as the famous Erawan Buddha in Bangkok. If you make a wish in Thailand, you must return it.
3. Treat monks with courtesy
Thailand respects Buddhism. Tourists should be polite to monks and respect every Buddha statue; women should avoid contact with monks. If a monk is accidentally touched by a woman while chanting sutras, he will lose all his previous efforts and have to start over. When giving away property, ask a man to do it for you or place it directly on the table.
4. No gambling
Gambling is prohibited in Thailand. You can not play cards or mahjong even in a hotel room.
5. The left hand is unclean
Thais believe that people’s left hands are unclean and can only be used to pick up unclean things. Therefore, using the left hand to hold important things will cause resentment. . They eat with their right hand and also use their right hand when passing things to others to show respect. If you have to use your left hand, you should say left hand, please forgive me first.
6. The beggar needs coins.
Never give coins when tipping. Generally speaking, coins are given to beggars.
7. Pay attention to the use of color.
Thais do not use red pen to sign, because Thais will use red pen to write their surnames on the coffin after death; in addition, brown is also their taboo color. They are used to using colors to represent different dates: Sunday is red, Monday is yellow, Tuesday is pink, Wednesday is green, Thursday is orange, Friday is light blue, and Saturday is purple. People often wear different colors of clothes according to different days.
8. Dress neatly when entering the temple.
You must dress appropriately when entering a Buddhist temple. No short skirts, shorts or topless clothing are allowed to enter. You must take off your shoes and be careful not to step on the threshold.
9. It is polite to put your hands together.
When greeting, put your hands together and do not point at people or objects with your toes. So you'll also meet a very polite Ronald McDonald S at McDonald's!
10.Don’t be too intimate.
In public places, men and women should not be too intimate, and they should not lose their temper in public places! I think a lot of people have made this mistake. While it's not a big deal, it's best to respect local customs. As the saying goes, when in town, do as the Romans do. You have to pay attention to what you can pay attention to. After all, taking care of the feelings of those around you is also a form of kindness.

6. Things to note when traveling to Thailand
If you have traveled all over the great rivers and mountains of your motherland, you might as well travel abroad to experience different regional characteristics and customs. See It is also a good choice to look at the differences between different ethnic groups outside.
Thailand is a popular tourist destination in Southeast Asia. The best time to travel is from August to December, because during this period the autumn air is crisp, the weather turns cooler, the temperature in Thailand also drops, and the rainfall after the rainy season also decreases accordingly, making it a very suitable season for traveling. However, we must also pay attention to local climate changes. This is the season when typhoons are raging, so you must be alert to natural disasters.
What are the advantages and things to pay attention to when choosing to travel to Thailand? Here, draw a special focus and chat with your friends to see if it helps them.
First point: August to December is the most suitable time to travel, because in order to attract more Chinese tourists, the Thai government will implement a visa-free preferential policy for Chinese tourists from August to December, which can provide Save 2,000 baht (approximately 300 yuan) in tourist visa fees on your overseas travel. After this period, the visa-free preferential policy will no longer exist. However, the specific introduction time of the visa-free preferential policy depends on the notification from the Thai government. If you only plan to travel during this period, you can consult in advance or check the official announcement. Many ticket grabbing software platforms now display relevant announcements in real time, such as Ctrip and Fliggy APP ticket grabbing platforms. If the Thai government promulgates such a preferential entry policy, it will generally remind you on the platform. You can pay attention to read the announcement when buying air tickets, or you can ignore these visa fees.
Second point: If you miss this time and you don’t care about the preferential visa fee of 2,000 baht (about 300 yuan), it doesn’t matter. Traveling to Thailand is very cost-effective. Consumption in Thailand and the United States is generally not high, and consumption in most cities including the capital Bangkok and the popular tourist city Pattaya is comparable to that of third- and fourth-tier domestic cities. But in the end it still depends on your spending power. If you decide to travel independently, the requirements are not very high. Bringing enough RMB 4 to 6,000 is enough for ten days and a half, including round-trip air tickets. If you want to pursue high-end travel, it is difficult to say because everyone’s spending power is different. It depends on the individual.
The third point: Before traveling abroad, you must first exchange foreign currency into the currency of the country you are going to travel to at a domestic bank that can exchange foreign currency. Most domestic banks can exchange it, and you can also exchange it directly on the Alipay APP platform or various ticket booking APP software platforms in advance. You can withdraw cash at the airport or designated exchange points. Exchanging foreign currencies at home in advance will save a lot of exchange rate compared to going abroad after landing. It is recommended to exchange 3 to 4 thousand RMB Thai Baht, because if you exchange too much, you will waste an exchange rate. This doesn't work if you don't care and don't spend too much money. Many cities in Thailand also support Alipay and WeChat Pay, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough money. Moreover, the exchange rates of Alipay and WeChat Pay are the same as those in China. The biggest advantage is that you don’t have to worry about exchanging them for counterfeit currency.
The fourth point: Thailand rarely deceives tourists like many domestic tourist attractions, but there are no tour groups or tour guides deceiving tourists. As long as you pay more attention to yourself and Don not to take advantage of small things, you will not be deceived. Especially when going to some famous attractions, you must buy tickets at the regular ticket window.
Yes, now, pack your backpack, pack your bags and embark on your flight to Thailand! Go away.
7. Things you need to pay attention to when going to Thailand
Generally, most people who go to Thailand are reported by travel agencies. Be sure to take a good look at the travel itinerary and determine terms such as self-expenses, shopping, and tips. Rather than just looking at price. The tourist routes in Thailand and the United States are dazzling and the prices are too many, which often makes consumers confused about how to choose. In fact, the tourist routes in Thailand and the United States can be roughly summarized into three routes, one of which is Bangkok and Pattaya. Because this route is the most cost-effective, it is also recommended by most travel agencies. Another route is Similan Island in Phuket. This route has the best scenery, but is also the most expensive and not suitable for older people. There are more boats on this route, so don't. Don’t choose seasickness. The last one is Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, which is generally suitable for artistic young people, so most people rarely choose this route.
Based on the above three routes, let us talk about the precautions for traveling to Thailand:
(1) Before going out, please remind everyone to buy a certain Thai phone card, which is relatively cheap. Usually it can be done for about 20 yuan. If you buy it locally, the price is around 50-60 yuan.
Domestic cards are cheaper than local cards.
(2) When traveling abroad, you need to exchange money. What is the most appropriate way to exchange money. This issue has been questioned by many people. When I change money at home, the exchange rate is not good. When you arrive at the airport, you can exchange money with your tour guide. Otherwise, you can go to Thailand to find a local tour guide to exchange money, and the exchange rate is also very good. But remember, don’t change money at the airport in Thailand because the exchange rate at the airport will kill you. For example, last time I went to Thailand, I exchanged 100 RMB with the tour guide for 460 Baht, exchanged it with the local escort for 470 Baht, and it only cost 430 Baht at the airport. Actually, you don’t have to change lines in a hurry. You should change routes with the tour leader first, because most charter flights to Thailand are at night, and you may want to buy some snacks when you get to the hotel, so one or two hundred yuan is enough to change. You can exchange it with a tour guide or exchange it on the street during the day. Just see if the exchange rate is suitable. There are currency exchange offices on all the streets in tourist areas, so don't worry.
Don't worry about changing money.
(3)It is essential to visit the Buddhist temples in Thailand. Remind you to bring a pair of pants before going out, because according to local regulations, you don't have to expose your clothes, you don't have to expose your shoulders and thighs, otherwise you won't be able to enter the temple.
(4) Civilization awareness must be strengthened. Don't litter, smoke or vomit, otherwise you'll face hefty fines. I remember once I went to Thailand and accidentally dropped some toilet paper shreds from my pants pocket. It was very small and was seen by a character who looked like a Thai urban management officer. I was called aside and told to get my passport. I didn't know what was going on so when I saw the guy in uniform I gave him my passport. I was given a huge ticket as a result. It's no use waiting for you to explain (I really didn't I didn't mean it, I'm not. I don't even know when the paper fell out. So be careful, also it's a passport issue. When he asked for the passport When asked, he said he didn't have one. Then he called the tour leader or the local tour guide to communicate. It would be easier to communicate with the locals after this incident. Don't know. I don't know. It's a simple ticket. I don't know if the money goes to the state or to my pocket.
(5) The Chinese are more interested in food. Various tropical fruits in Thailand are very popular with the Chinese because they are cheap and good. There are many small pineapples near the Grand Palace. Please don’t be greedy. Don’t buy the fruits from the mobile vendors. Buy directly from street stalls. In tropical countries, the shelf life of fruits is short, so some unscrupulous vendors will sell some spoiled fruits to tourists and wait for you to find them later.
The fruit must be fresh.
Some people like to go to the bar, but don't go to the second floor. If you accidentally go to the second floor, don't ring the bell. In Thailand, there is usually a bell on the seats on the second floor of the bar.
No, I don't know if it's a craft or a waiter's tool. If nothing happens, just pick it up and knock it. Don't play with it or knock it! As soon as the bell rang, you paid for the whole place tonight, and the whole place loved you. All kinds of expensive wine are available. It would be unthinkable for Tang not to have hundreds of thousands. There's nothing they can do if the police come, because that's the rule.
(7) There are small shops selling specialty products on the street, so don’t buy them lightly. Things are cheap, and they are indeed cheap at home, but the quality of the things needs to be studied. One or two hundred latex pillows, if you identify them, they must be latex, but you don't know the latex content, so you must go to regular stores to buy things, don't go to street vendors.
(8) Don’t smoke on the beach. Some people think it's great for smoking on the beach. Smoking on the beach will also result in a fine.
(9) Talk about tips. Thailand is a country where tipping is very popular. Tipping is expected when staying in a hotel, riding an elephant, or even in some restaurants. Generally it is 20 baht. The wages of Thai people are not high, and most service staff are naturally tipped, so they always carry some change with them to avoid embarrassment. Don't tip coins, they won't be happy.
(10) In terms of transportation, Thailand has regular taxis. Be sure to negotiate the price before boarding to avoid being ripped off. Thailand also has a dedicated taxi-hailing software. Regarding taxi-hailing software, please pay attention to my later article, which is quite long.
Thailand’s Street Taxi
(11) Regarding the topic of some experienced drivers, let me briefly say that China also has Thailand’s Immortal Dance. Don't take it lightly, because the red light district in Thailand is legal and there are too many tricks.
When soliciting customers on the street, don’t strike up a conversation casually.
(12) Gambling is not allowed in Thailand, so Tang should not bring poker, mahjong or the like. If you get caught, you're in trouble.
8. What should you pay attention to when going to Thailand
Thai customs and taboos
1. Don’t hook your shoulders and don’t scare others from behind.
2. Gambling is prohibited in Thailand. Don't play cards or mahjong even in the hotel room.
3. Thailand’s monks and royal family have a very high status and no tourists are allowed to take photos with them.
4. When shopping, remember not to point your finger at the store to inquire about prices, because this kind of body movement is rude and impolite in Thailand. How to get along Thailand is known for its tolerance and hospitality. They showed smiles and humility to everyone. Generally speaking, tourists adapt easily to local customs. However, here are some special tips: Due to the tradition of monarchy, Thais have a deep respect for members of the royal family. Visitors should respect the King of Thailand, the Queen Mother and her children. For example, every day at 08:00 in the morning and 18:00 in the evening, you have to stand in a public place when the national anthem is played. If attending a public event in the presence of members of the royal family, the best thing to do is to observe and imitate the etiquette of those present. Micro-religions Thai American law has many chapters on illegal behavior against religions, including Buddhism and other faiths with the largest numbers of adherents. All Buddha statues, whether intact or broken, are considered sacred. Please don’t climb the Buddha statue! The general requirement is that there should be no disrespectful behavior towards the Buddha statue. When visiting a Buddhist temple, you should dress neatly - don't go topless, or wear shorts or sleeveless shirts. You should not wear shoes in temple halls where Buddha statues are enshrined. Please feel free to take off your shoes. The floors of temple halls are generally clean. All Buddhist monks are prohibited from touching women. If you want to give something to a monk, you should first give it to a man to do it for him. A long-sleeved top buttoned up to the neck, covered with a towel. Social custom: When Thai people say hello, they put their hands together as if praying. Thai people are called Wai. Generally speaking, some people say that gifts are given to the older person first, and then the older person returns the gift with folded hands. Thais believe that the head is the highest part of the body and are not allowed to pat anyone on the head, even as a friendly gesture. If you accidentally bump into someone's head, you should apologize to him quickly. The feet are also considered the lowest part of the body. Don't point your feet at people or objects. Don don't touch anyone with your feet. Don't put your hands on the table or chair.
Don't step on people's dead bodies, please move around or politely ask them to move. You should also keep your feet away from anyone while sitting on the floor. Public displays of affection are not acceptable. You may have seen some very westernized young couples holding hands, but this is only common in enlightened communities. Losing your temper is the worst policy in Thai society. Thais consider this to mean bad behavior. Related: Thailand.com/guide/customs.htm, a country of smiles, you can always experience the hospitality, enthusiasm and courtesy of the Thai people. But as a tourist, it is important to understand some Thai customs and habits so that you will not cause embarrassment or violate some taboos when dealing with Thai people. Do as the locals do, I believe understanding these customs will bring a different experience to your trip. *In general Thai communication, when saying goodbye and meeting each other, we do not shake hands, but put our hands in front of our noses and bow slightly to each other. This ceremony can say hello, farewell, salute, thank you, forgive, etc. Then greet each other by saying Shavadika (Hello in Thai). *Thai people generally add the word kun in front of their name when addressing people, which means teacher, madam and young lady. *Thai people taboo to point to things or people with their feet instead of their fingers. They can sit without pointing to others with their toes. These are impolite. Because Thai people think that feet are very cheap and can only be used for walking. *Thai people are taboo about touching each other or waving other people's heads, which is considered contempt for others. *Thai people, especially women, tend to bend down when walking in front of others. This is a courtesy and indicates that they have to do so. *Thai people believe that the right hand is noble and the left hand is humble, so you must use your right hand to hand things to others. In formal situations, they should also use both hands, not their left hand. *If a woman wants to give something to a monk, it must be delivered by a man. Otherwise,
