What should I pay attention to when traveling to Thailand?

When traveling to Thailand, you should pay attention to handling legal and compliant documents and get to know the local geography, climate and humanistic traditions and customs. How to plan and play the whole trip has become the focus of everyone's attention. Here is a comprehensive analysis and detailed introduction for everyone.

About Etiquette Because of different cultural traditions, it is the easiest to make jokes about etiquette when traveling in Thailand?

1, Sawadika may be really familiar, but you should know that the word "hello" in Thailand is only pronounced as "sa-wat-dii", and "ka" is actually a woman! Sex! Use! Words!

The ending sound of male greeting should be "Krub", and hello is pronounced "Sawadi Kolab".

I will never forget the "I know" eyes that Thai people gave me when I went to Sawadika everywhere in Thailand?

Thai people usually have a body language when greeting each other, that is namaste.

But this is not as simple as putting your hands together! Let's take a look at the demonstration action first.

The position of the palm after folding is particular: the other person is a colleague, and the thumb is facing the chin; The other person is an elder, with his thumb pointing to the tip of his nose; The other person is a monk or a royal family, and the thumb points to the eyebrows.

In addition, your elbows should be naturally open, and you don't need to be clamped together or flat. Don't you do yoga?

Thai people regard the head as a sacred part. Many northern noses should know this. Don't touch other people's heads, even children.

The soles of the feet are regarded as humble parts by Thai people. Don't point your feet at others or the royal family or the Buddha statue, let alone cross other people's bodies or things with your feet!

Once, I happened to accidentally pass through a stall set by an old man, and was caught by the other side angrily and slapped, which scared me out of my wits. What about good friendly countries?

You can't wear suspenders or sleeveless skirts when visiting temples in Thailand. Pants and skirts should be knee-high, but there is no need to be too nervous. Many temples will provide free clothes for shelter from the wind and rain at the door, but just in case, you'd better bring one yourself.

It's not as strict as the picture, but be careful.

In addition, in Thailand, women are not allowed to touch monks, otherwise the practice will be in vain.

There are quite a few transsexuals in Thailand. As we all know, out-and-out transsexuals usually devote themselves to the performance or deduction industry, and some just take drugs and wear women's clothes, which seems to have male characteristics on the surface.

However, in any case, the status of all transgender people in Thailand is exactly the same as that of ordinary people. They are not vulnerable groups, and some even have thousands of fans among online celebrities on ins.

6. Smoking is prohibited in public places in Thailand. If you are addicted to smoking, you must find a smoking room. When booking a hotel, it is best to also indicate "smoking room"!

In addition, gambling is forbidden in Thailand, so poker and mahjong can't be played, even in the room! Don't! All right!

8. Durian is a good thing. It is sold in many places in Thailand, but don't take it to the hotel room to eat! The smell is too strong and will spread to many rooms along with the air conditioner. If found, you will be fined!

Regarding the entry visa, although Thailand is an landing visa country, once you choose to enter landing visa, it means that you need to queue up for a long time. At the peak in China, you have to wait in line for 3-4 hours to make you cry!

Pay 1000 baht in cash when handling landing visa, in cash! Credit cards are not available.

If you are not particularly anxious, I personally strongly recommend that you apply for a visa in advance in China, which is now free (as of August 3 1 20 17)! Although you have to queue up for customs clearance, it is really much more comfortable than landing visa.

I want to say something about the spot check of cash. Although I have never met it in Thailand, spot checks do exist. After all, people need to make sure that you are here to travel and spend money, not as a refugee. It's best not to take chances.

The requirements for carrying cash are about 10000 baht (for individuals) and 20000 baht (for families).

Finally, no matter what kind of visa you enter, you need to fill out an entry application form, which is usually issued on the plane. Remember to prepare a pen to fill in for your reference.

If it is a visa on arrival, you need to fill out this form separately.

The consumption of 1 RMB is about 5 baht, and the price in your mind divided by 5 is the approximate RMB price.

If you want to exchange cash, I generally suggest that you withdraw it at the local ATM with the UnionPay logo. You will calculate the equivalent currency according to the exchange rate of the day, which will make you more profitable. You don't have to worry about being cheated by a black shop to change money on the roadside.

ATMs in Thailand are all lined up in this colorful way, which is very interesting.

Another thing I have to say is tipping. Thailand is also a tipping country. Tips are often given, so remember to prepare more small change, but don't use coins. That's for sending beggars away!

I met a compatriot who didn't know this before, gave the doorman a bunch of coins and was thrown back directly by the other side?

Actually, it is understandable. Can you imagine how you feel when someone throws you a 50-cent coin while you are helping others? I'd rather not be insulted like this!

Since the minimum denomination of paper money is 20 baht, tips are usually given 20 times. However, if you return the change less than 10 baht when you eat in a restaurant, you can say smartly, keep the change.

What occasion do I need to tip?

Before leaving the hotel, press a tip (20 baht) under the pillow of the room to reward the aunt who cleaned the room. If you don't want to give it, remember to hang a do not disturb sign at the door so that aunt won't come into your room to clean it.

Sign up for a one-day tour and give it to the driver and tour guide (100~200 baht, some will tell you how much he wants);

Enjoy the SPA and give it to the masseur (according to the service situation);

Dine in the restaurant (according to the tip, the average consumption of 1 000 will get 20, the consumption of 3000 will get 50, and the roadside stall will not exceed 1 000), but remember to look at the bill. If the tax and service charge are already included, you don't have to give them;

Of course, tipping also depends on the quality of service. If you are not satisfied, that's no problem at all!

P.S. Almost all ATMs in Thailand support UnionPay cash withdrawal, such as KasikornBank and Bangkok Bank.

Banks), Thai Military Bank (TMB) and other banks.

Traffic Thailand's traffic is mostly good, that is, the traffic jam in the capital Bangkok (worse than Beijing! ! ! ), it is recommended to travel by subway or light rail. In addition, water bus is a special feature of Bangkok. If you go to play, you'd better not miss this ~

If you take a taxi, you must pay attention to let the driver hit the meter (press)

Rice), of course, sometimes it's pit-beating, so rice jumps as fast as a rabbit, or it's impossible to take a detour? But playing with a watch is better than not playing at all.

If you can't stop the drivers who are willing to hit the meter, negotiate a price you can accept with them ~

There is also a rabbit car. In fact, although this mode of transportation is characteristic of Thailand, it is not safe after all, and many drivers will charge exorbitant prices. Remember to bargain when riding a bike!

However, pay attention to those tutu drivers who stop to ask where you are going without waving. Nine times out of ten, they will take you to the shopping mall to earn kickbacks. There are many Tu Tu cars near the Grand Palace in Bangkok. They will tell you that the scenic spot you are going to is closed. There is a similar scenic spot nearby. Got into the thief's car, huh ~

Finally, no matter which mode of transportation you choose, I don't recommend renting a motorcycle. Thailand drives on the left lane, and the cars on the road in Thailand are in a mess. All the cars are crowded together, not old drivers, which is prone to accidents!

And even if peace is like Thailand, there will be "touching porcelain"

Climate Thailand is hot all the year round, but the temperature difference in some areas is large in the morning and evening, and many indoor air conditioners are also fully open. Is it hot to go out or freezing to death in the door? So anyway, it is necessary to wear long sleeves.

In addition, I want to say that if you go to Thailand, forget about sunscreen. It will be so hot that my face will burn as soon as I go out, and I don't want to wipe anything at all! Anyway, a straight man like me really can't stand it. A little darker.

Moreover, just wearing sunscreen can't protect you from the sun. It is best to do a good job of physical sun protection and bring a sun hat and sunglasses.

Food and Entertainment Thai people like to use coconut juice, green lemon, fish sauce and other raw materials for cooking, so many people are not used to the food here when they first come to Thailand? Including Fafa himself!

But don't worry too much, pineapple rice, mango rice, pig's foot rice and rice with rice are basically in line with the appetite of all mankind. You can wait until you get used to the taste of Thailand, and then try more Thai characteristics, such as Dongyingong, green papaya salad and Thai curry.

There are many entertainment programs in Thailand on a relatively large scale. Some adult programs are so disgusting that people can't bear to look directly at them.

To see the show, I suggest going to Bangkok and Pattaya, TiffanyShow and CalypsoCarbaret.

The show is a grand shemale show, gorgeous and quality, highly recommended ~

After watching the performance, if you want to take a photo with the performers, you have to pay a tip (how many people will tell you).
