What should I pay attention to when traveling to Thailand?

When traveling to Thailand, we need to pay attention to the safety of wading, traffic, property, boat and food.

first, wading safety.

Many tourist attractions in Thailand are near the sea. In monsoon season, the winds and waves in the surrounding waters are high, the sea conditions are changing rapidly, and safety accidents such as snorkeling and swimming are frequent. Life jackets must be worn throughout the wading project, and snorkelers should receive formal training. Master the use of snorkeling equipment. Elderly people, patients with hypertension and heart disease should not snorkel.

second, traffic safety.

Thailand's right rudder goes left. When crossing the road, you should look right first, then left, and pay attention to avoid "motorcycle". Choose a taxi that is willing to hit the meter, and write down the license plate and driver's license information at the left front windshield. In the event of a traffic accident, immediately call the police (191); Casualties, call an ambulance (1669, 1691, 1554, 1555). ?

third, property safety.

pay attention to keeping property, certificates, etc. In Bangkok, Pataia, Phuket, Samui and other places, there are frequent cases of car robbery, bank card theft and hotel luggage and property theft.

iv. safety by boat.

Please choose a regular travel company and shipping company, and you should know whether there is travel accident insurance and the scope of claims before signing up; Understand the weather and sea conditions of the day. If the weather is bad, the wind is high and the waves are strong, the trip should be cancelled. Please understand and abide by the relevant safety requirements when riding a speedboat, always wear a life jacket and sit tight to prevent bumps and injuries. ?

5. Food safety.

The weather in Thailand is hot, people like to drink ice water, and there are many delicious seafood stalls on the roadside. Tourists should not be greedy when eating. Prepare common medicines such as diarrhea before going out.

Thailand's customs and taboos:

Thailand is a Buddhist country, with more than 9% of the population believing in Buddhism. The Buddha statue is regarded as a sacred object in Thailand, and it is forbidden to disrespect the Buddha statue. Remember not to climb the Buddha statue and take photos. When visiting temples and palaces, you should dress neatly and appropriately, and you should not wear sleeveless vests, short skirts, shorts and other inappropriate clothes.

when entering the main hall, you should take off your shoes as required, and keep solemn during the visit, and do not chase and play. Women are not allowed to have direct contact with monks. If it is necessary to submit articles to monks, they should give them to a man to do it for them, or monks should lay the cassock in front of them and put the articles on the cassock. ?

Thailand is a constitutional monarchy country. The king and members of the royal family enjoy a lofty position in Thailand and are loved by the Thai people. Visitors should show respect to the king and members of the royal family. You are not allowed to discuss topics related to the royal family in public, or make statements that damage the reputation of the royal family, otherwise it will be a felony. ?

Thailand is a country of etiquette and is known as "the country of smiles". Thais usually greet each other with their hands folded on their chests when they meet. Don't shake hands after folding. Ordinary people cannot shake hands with monks. The head is considered as the most sacred part by Thai people, and it is forbidden to be touched by others. Don't pass things with your left hand and pick up things. Don't cross your legs when sitting, don't use your fingers when talking, and don't use your toes when bargaining.

Thais are gentle, warm and polite. Rice is the staple food of Thai people, and it likes spicy food. Pepper is an essential seasoning on the table, and ice cubes are usually added to drinks. Thai people are more particular about their clothes, and they should be ironed before wearing them. On formal occasions and solemn ceremonies, men usually wear suits, while women usually wear skirts and generally do not wear trousers.
