If you are planning a trip to Thailand, here are a few tips to stay safe and make the most of your time there:
1. Check the weather before you plan a vacation there. Thailand has two distinctive seasons that will have an impact on the cost of your trip. If you want to travel for less, schedule your trip between May and October, during the country’s monsoon season. The monsoon season will mean you can get better deals on hotels and air travel, but the extra rain could be problematic for your other plans. Between November and April is the country’s dry season, and traveling during this time will afford you great temperatures and low humidity.
2. Don’t drink the local tap water. Stick to bottled water in Thailand. Also watch out for fruits and vegetables that have been washed with tap water. Not following this rule could make you quite ill.
3. A common gesture of greeting in Thailand the wai. This involves holding your hands in a prayer position and offering a bow. Because this is an important part of Thai culture, you should always return the gesture with a smile if someone greets you with a wai.
