The Thai government clearly stipulates that foreign tourists buy antiques: ① For antiques taken abroad, buyers must obtain permission from the Thai Ministry of Art five days in advance. (2) Antiques of historical or educational value to Thailand are not allowed to be taken out of the country. Before buying an antique, be sure to confirm whether the store you sell can handle the above procedures for you. When the reliability of the goods is in doubt, the customer has the right to ask the merchant to issue a guarantee that it can be returned. When shopping, don't ask the price by pointing to the store, because it is rude and impolite in Thailand. 6. Do not accept services such as tour guides and shopping guides provided by strangers; Respect Thailand's special religious beliefs, but also prevent forced shopping on the grounds of religious beliefs. 7.
