Is it safe to go to Thailand?

Thailand tourism is still very safe, but we still need to pay attention to the following issues.

First, travel notes to Thailand:

Note 1:

Thailand has a tropical monsoon climate, which is hot and humid all year round. In principle, you only need to bring summer clothes, but it is best to bring a thin coat in and out of the air-conditioned room. In addition, please bring sunglasses, sun hat, umbrella, heatstroke prevention medicine, bathing suit and sun protection and other tourism products in case of emergency.

Note 2:

When traveling abroad, it is best to bring some commonly used safety drugs and first-aid medical supplies in case of emergency; Hotels in Thailand often don't have disposable items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste and slippers because of environmental awareness, so tourists should prepare themselves; The voltage of the hotel is mostly 220 V; General hotels do not provide drinking hot water;

Note 3:

Thailand is one of the powerful Buddhist countries, and the status of Buddhism in Thailand is sacred and inviolable. Any blasphemy may be detained, even for foreign tourists. This is very important! Respect local customs, and they will make friends with you in a friendly way.

Note 4:

If you have a ticket to a third country via Thailand, you can apply for a transit visa at the Thai airport, and the procedures are the same as those in landing visa. Visitors can extend the visa period with the obtained visa at the Immigration Bureau of Thailand for up to 30 days.

Note 5: Several ways of tourist visa in Thailand.

If you apply directly to embassies and consulates in China, Thailand, you can get a short-term tourist visa for 2 months to 3 months; Or a travel agency. After arriving in Thailand, apply for a visa on arrival at the Thai airport. You need two photos, a copy of your passport and an application form to complete the formalities. The formalities will be finished in about half an hour. You can get a 15-day visa on arrival at a cost of 500 Thai dollars.

2. The "best" experience of Thailand tour

Best cultural experience: Celebrate Songkran Festival, which is a festival to celebrate the New Year in Thailand. The way to celebrate is to splash water on each other to express blessing.

The most tranquil beach: Shama Island Beach in Luo Yong, connected by white sand, with beautiful scenery. This is a Thai holiday resort with few tourists.

The most challenging outdoor sports: rock climbing, diving, snorkeling and rafting.

3. Taboo of Thailand tourism

1. No gambling

Gambling is forbidden in Thailand, and you can't play cards or mahjong even in a hotel room.

The head is sacred and inviolable.

Don't touch other people's heads casually, and children should try not to, because Thai people think heads are the most sacred. When one person passes something to another, never go over the head of others.

3. Make a wish to return to God

Thailand is a Buddhist country, and more than 90% people believe in Buddhism. There are many temples in Thailand, such as the famous "Four-faced Buddha" in Bangkok, because you have to make a wish in Thailand.

Be polite to monks

Thailand respects Buddhism, and tourists should be polite to monks and respect every Buddha statue; Women should avoid contact with monks. If a monk is accidentally touched by a woman while chanting, all his efforts will be in vain and he will have to start all over again. When providing property, you need to ask a man to do it for you or put it directly on the table.
