Tips

  • Learn basic Thai phrases like “Sawasdee” (hello) and “Khop Khun” (thank you). A polite “wai” gesture (palms together with a slight bow) is appreciated.
  • When visiting temples, wear clothes that cover your shoulders and knees.
  • Bargaining is part of the culture in markets like Chatuchak or Patpong. Start with half the quoted price but keep it friendly and smile while negotiating.
