Transportation
Tuk-tuks, taxis and Songthaews (shared taxis) are common modes of transportation in Thailand. For longer distances, consider taking domestic flights or traveling by train or bus for budget-friendly options.
Cultural Etiquette
Respect Thai customs and traditions, such as removing shoes before entering temples and covering shoulders and knees when visiting religious sites. Greet locals with a respectful “Sawasdee” and avoid public displays of affection.
Health and Safety
Stay hydrated, use sunscreen and take precautions against mosquito bites, especially in rural areas and during the rainy season. Drink bottled water and avoid consuming tap water and uncooked or undercooked food to prevent food borne illnesses.
