What should I do if I don’t know Thai or English when I go to Thailand?

You can travel freely in Thailand if you don’t speak Thai.

It is not necessary to speak Thai to travel independently in Thailand. It is best to go with friends and communicate in English. Some vendors also know a little Chinese.

1. Install a translation software. Thailand is a tourist country, and most businessmen and young people know some English.

2. It is recommended to learn some simple English words and simple sentences, or even learn some simple Thai. When communicating, the distance between the two parties will be instantly shortened.

3. The most effective and simplest way of communication is body language. Don’t be embarrassed to express it with your hands or body movements. It is a very good way of communication.

4. Print out the hotel where you live, the restaurant you want to go to, and the planned attractions, such as address, phone number, etc. in English or even Thai and take it with you. When you can't express it clearly, just take it with you. Come out and show them.

5. If you are interested in food and don’t know how to order it, then print out pictures of some of the food you like in advance, go to the restaurant to eat, and just show them the pictures. You will never go wrong. In short, it is recommended to make a plan before traveling, so that you will not be constantly in a hurry and at a loss.
