INDEX OF ALL states AND LOCATIONSTravel Tips
In most cases any visit to Thailand will be a delightful adventure, but there a few things to remember which will go a long way to having a trouble free experience. Learn a little about the Thai culture and customs so you don’t offend or show disrespect by accident. Whenever possible always use a padlock on the zips of your backpack or luggage and try to keep your bags with you at all times. Generally the tap water in Thailand is not drinkable, so if you are unsure about the quality of the water, drink bottled water with an unbroken seal. If you are approached by a stranger or driver with a deal which appears too good to be true, it probably is. Above all, show respect and don’t forget your sense of humour.
