Friendly Tips
1. It is popular in Thailand to tip, usually 20B/time. If the restaurant charges a service charge, you don't need to tip, and avoid speaking too loudly when communicating with locals.
2. Thailand time is 1 hour behind Beijing time. After getting on the plane, don’t forget to set your watch back one hour.
3. The three-phase plugs in Thailand are different from those in China (the middle one is round), so it is best to bring a three-phase to two-phase plug conversion device.
4. You cannot touch monks with your fingers or touch their bodies. In particular, women cannot shake hands with monks and cannot sit next to monks in cars. Don't touch other people's heads and don't ruffle other people's hair. Local people taboo outsiders touching the heads of children (especially young monks). Children's heads are only allowed to be touched by kings, monks and their own parents.
