Local Etiquette & Tips

CULTURAL · INSIDER TIPS

1 Never touch a Thai person's head, even children. Don't point feet at people or images of Buddha. Always

2 remove shoes before entering temples and most homes. The wai (slight bow with hands together) is the

3 customary greeting. Modest dress at temples — no shorts/sleeveless. The Thai King is deeply revered — never

4 speak negatively about the monarchy. Tipping is appreciated (₹100-200 for guides, 10% in restaurants if no

5 service charge).
