Thai Etiquette
Carry Cash: While hotels and restaurants accept credit cards, street vendors and markets generally deal in cash.
Language Tips: A few Thai phrases can go a long way. "Sawat-dee" for hello/goodbye, "Kob-khun" for thank you, and "tao rai" to ask how much something is. Add "krup" (for men) or "ka" (for women) at the end of sentences to be polite.
Beware of Scams: Be cautious and double-check online if told landmarks like the Grand Palace are closed unexpectedly.
Temple Etiquette: Many temples require visitors to dress "modestly"- long pants/skirts and sleeved shirts that cover shoulders and knees. Most major temples also offer or sell cover-ups nearby.
