Basic rules for visiting Thailand?

Responses information department of the "Subtlety of Tourism"
Probably everyone who is going to Thailand already knows that there is no fun on the royal family (this will be considered even crumpled on the monarch's face of the bill), touch to the Buddha statues, monks and the Thais themselves . Do not pat on the shoulder, let alone the head of the locals . Even the fancy kid on the head do not stroke - it is impossible . It's better to photograph and give the candy . And Smile constantly: Thais are very smiling and friendly, for sullen people the attitude of n guarded . Never quarrel in public - not accepted, try not to laugh loudly and do not make noise - indecently . However, this does not apply to children, and in hotels you can give yourself a little .

You can stop by in all Thai temples (cotton wool) even during the service. You just need to take off your shoes, sit down so that the figure of the Buddha was not behind your back, and your legs would not point at it, and not disturb anyone during the ceremony.

Drink water only from bottles, but try local fruits and national dishes , oddly enough, you can even on the street. Do this not only if you do not tolerate spicy food. Then eat in a cafe or hotel, because street vendors are still burning.
