If you are planning to travel to Thailand in the near future, be sure to consider the following things before you begin your trip. We have put together all the important information that you should know before traveling to Thailand. Let’s have a look at them below:
Use a spoon for eating, not your fork
Using a fork to eat something is considered weird and crude in Thailand. People use their fork only to push their food onto the spoon. Keep this thing in mind whenever you eat something in any restaurant in Thailand.
Never doubt the kind and friendly behavior of Thai people
People in Thailand are very welcoming and always ready to offer help and advice. So, never doubt anyone when they offer you advice or try to start a conversation with you.
Thai people don’t like to stand in queues
It’s very strange, isn’t it? People in Thailand don’t stand in queues or lines. Instead, they prefer to form a crowd. They don’t make a queue with the stall by 90 degrees. They all like to stand parallel to the front of the stand or stall.
Take taxis at night and tuk-tuks during the day
If you want to enjoy the view, we suggest that you go with a tuk-tuk. But if you want a comfortable ride, there’s nothing better than taking a taxi. If you go to a particular place at night, ask your taxi driver to come back and pick you up at a specific place and time. Or else, you will have a tough time going through many drunk people to find a taxi to go back to your place.
