Thailand Do's and Don'ts (Beach Destinations. e.g. Krabi)
As every country have differing cultures and practices, it is very useful to understand at least some of the basic differences between your country and another, specifically, Thailand's beach destinations. This includes Phi Phi, Krabi, Phuket, Trang, Lanta, Surat Thani and Pang Nga. Thailand has a unique culture that is not so hard to understand. It is good to know these things to ensure that you have a more enjoyable and safer trip in these places.
Patience
It is advised that you practice patience and tolerance especially in restaurants. As Thais usually take pride in the food they prepare, they tend to take a longer time to get your food cooked and served. Having live by the beach and away from city areas, they also have a very relaxed lifestyle so taking order, paying the bill or even giving change may take a little more time then it should have.
Speak Thai
Do pick up some simple and basic Thai language It makes the Thai proud and happy to see a foreigner picking up their national language. You may receive even better treatment on top of the already friendly treatment you always get from the Thais. Here are some basic phrases that might be useful for you:
Hello Sawadee krup (man)/ Sawadee kaa (lady)
Yes Chai
No Mai
Thank you Kop kun
I am going to - Chan cha pai
Very good Di mak
Not good Mai di
Turn right Liao khwa
Turn left Liao sai
Locals Staring
As beach destinations are usually under-commercialized, the locals do not always see tourists roaming around their territory. This is especially so in their village areas where there are little if any tourists at all. So when they see one, especially if you have a different skin color from them, they might start staring at you. But do not worry It is purely and sincerely out of interest, not for malevolent reasons. If you catch one staring at you, smile at them. They will probably smile back or look away in embarrassment out of getting caught staring.
The Feet and Head
Thais regard the head as the most respected part of a person's body. Therefore, try to avoid touching someone even a child on his or her head unless you are very close to that person. Legs are considered to be dirty' so avoid pointing your legs to someone or even an object as a form of indication.
Bargain
Pick up some bargaining skills in this country and it definitely work to your advantage In these beach desitinations, there are various street stalls and night markets where the prices are usually not fixed. The locals can easily identify a tourist (even if you try to blend in with them) so chances are, they will try their luck and jack up the prices of their sales items. Remember to bargain each time, between about 10 to 40% discount. Also, bear in mind that Thais appreciate good manner so smile broadly and humor them
Tip: Bargain for the lowest amount (40%) before slowly increasing it up if rejected.
