What should I pay attention to when traveling to Thailand? Are there any special local customs and taboos?

1. The climate in Thailand is relatively dry. You should pay attention to your diet when traveling and bring some necessary medicines.

2. It is best to purchase valuables such as jewelry at specialty stores recommended by the local tourism bureau. Remember to ask for a shopping voucher.

3. When participating in the Water Splashing Festival, do not take important items with you. You can leave them to the hotel or keep them safe yourself.

4. Women cannot touch the monk, otherwise his years of practice will be destroyed. You can ask a man to pass the items on your behalf, or you can place them directly on the table.

5. Thai people believe that everyone has spirits on their heads, so remember not to touch the heads of Thai people, even children. Thais believe that feet are the dirtiest place, so you cannot use your toes to point to fruits and other items on the floor.

6. Gambling is prohibited in Thailand, and you cannot play cards or mahjong even in hotel rooms.
