Travel Safe, Smart, and As A Woman in Thailand..Travel Like A PRO!
Southeast Asia, a world away from the US. Beaches so pristine you can hardly believe your eyes, cuisine with flavor to keep even the most avid foodies engaged endlessly, water so warm that even the sea is like a spa, featuring some of the most luxurious hotels and resorts in the world with impeccable service. It is one of those places that once you go, you’re forever changed. Incredible!
Some top smart travel tips for Bangkok, Chiang Mai, the Golden Triangle, Phuket, Krabi, Ko Samui, and more:
Shoes off before you enter any temple or Thai home
Step over thresholds, not on them
Respectful dress is a must; covered shoulders and legs covered down to and over the ankle
Keep your hands to yourself especially when it comes to monks and do not touch anyone’s head
Photos are ok in most places, yet in holy sites it most likely is not
Smile and return a greeting when greeted (in Thai, super bonus points with the locals!)
No PDAs, pointing at things, or conversation about the monarchy
Mind your belongings as you would in any big city to guard against pickpockets
Bottled water and fully cooked food is your best bet for a happy tummy
Have fun! Thai people are among the kindest and nicest in the world, enjoy their country and culture to the fullest!
