Respect local culture — greet with a wai, dress modestly, and follow temple etiquette.
Avoid peak summer (Apr–Jun) heat — travel between Nov and Feb for the best weather.
Book flights, ferries, and attractions in advance to avoid last-minute hassles.
Thailand’s cities are large — use Grab, tuk-tuks, or bikes instead of walking long distances.
Dress modestly at temples — no shorts, sleeveless tops, or revealing outfits allowed.
Always get travel insurance to cover health emergencies, delays, or baggage loss.
Carry cash — many local shops, taxis, and food stalls don’t accept cards.
